Ms. Michelotti said there were other elected officials from other jurisdictions that <br />supported the West Dublin BART station as well. <br /> <br /> Ray DaSilva, PO Box 2832, Danville, 94526, expressed his concern about the rejection <br />of his claim against the City. He did not feel Council had participated in the decision. He was <br />dissatisfied with the whole process. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said the City Attorney keeps Council informed of claims against the City. <br /> <br /> David Lowell, 1479 Lexington Way, Associate Publisher for the Independent newspaper, <br />expressed his concern about a change in the specifications for legal ads. He did not feel it was <br />right to change the specifications by making legal ads available to a daily newspaper only. This <br />should be a policy decision made by the City Council. <br /> <br /> To Mr. DaSilva's comments, Ms. Michelotti said the City Council is kept informed of <br />each stept in a claim process and that the Council ultimately is responsible for a final decision. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarvet said he appreciated the energy that went into the survey for the Sycamore <br />area. He wanted to see a solution occur. The difficulty was there are two committees going <br />full steam and considerable information is needed in order to make the best possible decision. <br /> <br />6.
