(SR97:203) <br /> <br /> o. Authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the consultant contract <br /> with Mundie & Associates in the amount of $70,842.33. (SR97:226) <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, and Vice Mayor Pico <br />NOES: Vice Mayor Pico on Item 4M <br />ABSENT: Mayor Tarver <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />5. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Jean Hart and Dennis Fay from Alameda County Congestion Management Agency <br />(CMA) and Gary Krueger from TJKM gave a presentation on the proposal for relief of traffic <br />congestion on the Sunol Grade. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti thanked CMA and TJKM for making the presentation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if a model had been used to determine that the area was the second <br />worst in the Bay Area. The projections in the report stated this had not been anticipated. Are <br />the projections now being done differently? <br /> <br /> Ms. Hart said no model had been used. Caltrans personnel drive the road and calculate <br />the time it takes to get from point A to point B. Ms. Hart said no one had any idea that the <br />growth would occur as it did in this area. The projections that were used were ABAG <br />projections. The growth in Santa Clara County has already reached ABAG employment <br />projections for the year 2005. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked, once the funding has been approved, when would construction <br />start? Is there a way to fast track the process? Should the citizens put demands on their state <br />representatives? <br /> <br /> Mr. Krueger said there are things to do to make the environmental process more <br />efficient. The construction could start as early as July 1, 1998 and motorists may be able to <br />drive on the HOV lane by the year 2000. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 4 07/01/97 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
