She felt there 'was enough room for the city's maintenance equipment. She asked Council to do a feasibility study.

Ms. Michelotti asked if there was a sign that said "private property" at the entrance to the easement. Ms. Jervis said the signs had been removed. In 1990 the HOA wanted to put up fences, .but was told it could not because of the public service easement. She understood that the water/sewer rebate issue was still being considered. She explained that the HOA for seven years was overcharged as a single family residence and the total amount of the rebate is $43,680. She said the HOA would be willing to let the City keep the rebate if it was willing to take possession Pleasanton City Council 4 08/04/98 Minutes
