Ms. Dennis said she is glad the Air Quality Control District is using the data but why <br />should the Hacienda Business Park pay for the equipment. She is not convinced, however, that <br />the station should be discontinued. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said in past years it was determined the Business Park would contribute <br />to solving the air quality problem. In order for Pleasanton to stay on top of this, an <br />Environmental Monitoring Committee was instituted and water, noise, and LOS standards were <br />also instituted. He felt that the Business Park was far enough along that he did not believe it <br />was a major contributor. He agreed with Ms. Dennis that the monitoring station not be <br />discontinued. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said while she served on the Environmental Monitoring Committee, the <br />Committee would turn all the data over to the Air Quality Management Board. If this is not <br />being done, then there is legitimate cause to shut the station down. She said she would like <br />more discussion as to what data is being used. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked staff if Pleasanton has regulations for fire places? Is that something <br />that needs to be monitored? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said Pleasanton does not have any regulations concerning wood burning stoves <br />as yet. The Air Quality Control District has had it as an action item but has not chosen to act <br />on it yet. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if staff had any information on MTBE? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said a specific analysis was done on the groundwater and no MTBE's showed <br />up. He said Zone 7 is doing the same thing. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. <br /> <br /> James Paxton, 3825 Hopyard Road, Suite 119, representing the Hacienda Business Park, <br />said he concurred with the findings in the staff report. He spoke about the elements of the <br />programs that would be used or retained by other agencies. The monitoring station was gifted <br />to BAAQMD and it will retain it. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if BAAQMD was going to use the station. <br /> <br /> Mr. Paxton said yes. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked what will happen to the other equipment? <br /> <br /> Mr. Paxton said that was unknown at this time, but it could be made available to the City <br />if it wished. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 6/17/97 <br />Minutes 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
