Item 6d Approval of Reimbursement Al:I"eement with the City of Dublin for 1-580 Interchan~es (SR98:228) Randall Lum presented the staff report. Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. There were no speakers on this item. Mayor Tarver indicated that he was not in favor of the Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Dublin. He felt it was not required other than to clearly state the principles of mitigation of impacts of traffic between the two cities. The City of Dublin has that mitigation to pay to Pleasanton. He appreciated the City of Dublin wanting something in return, but he was not prepared to offer something in exchange because he felt the City of Dublin owed the City the mitigation for its impacts. Ms. Michelotti asked him if he wanted $7.4 million. Mayor Tarver did not want $7.4 million if it had strings attached. Ms. Michelotti said when the City of Dublin wants to make freeway interchange improvements, Pleasanton would have to cooperate by allowing access to the interchanges. Mayor Tarver said this has to do with mitigation of impacts on Pleasanton that the City of Pleasanton has paid for and the City of Dublin is using. If the City of Dublin does not want to mitigate its impacts, he does not want to see it grow anymore. Mr. Pico did not have a problem with the agreement but had a problem with staff's recommendation reserving funds for EI Charro. He felt Council should direct staff to put the decision off until such time as the Capital Improvement Budget is reviewed. He would like significant public participation in allocating the $7.4 million. Ms. Acosta said the two items could be separated. Ms. Ayala asked if the items could be separated because she is comfortable with allocating funds to EI Charro. She said negotiations have already been done. Ms. Dennis asked if the interchange reserve was something the City of Dublin was requesting. Pleasanton City Council Minutes 22 09/15/98
