Ms. Michelotti said there are other sources possible for funding. The TVTC fee might be just enough to get a project started. The idea is to have a fee that is the same in all jurisdictions. She said at least the jurisdictions are doing something; $70 million may not seem like a lot, but it is a start and Council will continue to work and try and get more funding from other sources. Mayor Tarver said there is information available through the Traffic Congestion Management Authority and the City of Pleasanton's baseline traffic report that is on the September 15 agenda. Ms. Dennis encouraged his interest and involvement. Ms. Michelotti said she would take the school issue to the School Liaison Conunittee. Robert Cordtz, 262 West Angela, said it was Trains, Noise, and Traffic (TNT) one year anniversary and nothing has been done in the last year. He expected there would have been a traffic study done on the recent car show and the Scottish Games and one when the commuter train starts on September 19. TNT does not believe or trust the reports it is receiving from the Traffic Department stating that the traffic is not a problem. The recent car show was a disaster. People were in the residential area until 1:30 a.m. This is not acceptable. TNT feels that the City Council does not care because it does not direct staff to do some traffic studies. He would like some of these issues agendized. Mayor Tarver said the review of the commuter train and priority of items will be discussed under Item 6d, Highest Priorities, on tonight's agenda. He thought most of Mr. Cordtz's concerns were on the highest priority list. Ms. Dennis said the priorities have dates and schedules. She asked staff if there were any traffic studies planned in regards to the events downtown. Mr. Lum said a study of West Angela has been started regarding whether it should be closed or not and he is following up on the concerns brought up about the recent car show. Debra Barker, 5018 Blackbird Way, opposed the reverse osmosis project. She said mothers were once told that baby formula was better for babies than mothers milk. The formula was tested for things that the scientists knew about. But what about the things they didn't know about. The same with reverse osmosis. The scientists will test for things they know will harm people, but what about the things they don't know about. She said the Tri-Valley is blessed with a huge storage of water and there is no need to supplement the water supply. She does not want the City of Pleasanton to be a guinea pig and hoped the Council would listen to the public and stop the RO water proposal. Pleasanton City Council 6 09/01/98 Minutes
