Margaret Benda, 6554 Inglewood Drive, expressed her desire to have a park between the <br />sewerage treatment plant and the Val Vista subdivision. The residents would like 100 to 200 <br />trees planted to absorb the odor and block the view of the treatment plant. She inquired about <br />the money for the improvements on the San Francisco property. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico explained that San Francisco was giving additional acreage for the park to the <br />City and the fund she referred to was to pay for improvements. San Francisco will pay to <br />improve the twenty acre park and Pleasanton pays for the other part. <br /> <br /> Ms. Benda referred to a newspaper article that said there was a $3.9 million surplus and <br />asked where that fits into the budget. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver explained this entire meeting was discussing how to allocate that surplus. <br />The newspaper only talked about a portion of it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Rossi stated the $3.9 million is part of the budget and has been allocated to many <br />things and then cited several examples. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta referred to the request for trees and suggested that Council direct staff to <br />bring back a report on whether it can be done and how. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt the City had a variety of resources and pointed out that sales tax <br />revenue is now greater than property tax revenues. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to adopt Resolution No. 98-91, <br />approving the amendments to the 1998-99 Operating Budget, the Community Development <br />Block Grant Program (CDBG). <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to adopt Resolution No. <br />98-92, approving the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for 1998-99 through 2001-02, <br />with the exception that the $825,000 set aside for purchase of land for the Operations <br />Service Center expansion be put into an unallocated CIP reserve account and direct staff <br />to ask all Commissions to provide input for its allocation. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, and Pico <br />NOES: Mayor Tarver <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 8 06/30/98 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
