Mr. Ashton said the traffic calming committee would only come up with a broad based <br />plan; he felt Amanda Place is a specific issue. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said Mr. Ashton would find that everyone on the Council has a different <br />point of view. He said Council is very diverse in representing the community and sometimes <br />it has different values and beliefs. There was lengthy hearings of public testimony and <br />discussion by Council regarding Mirador Drive. Council believes it made an informed decision. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ashton felt Genevieve and Amanda Place residents were not represented at these <br />meetings. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said she was the voice of the residents who lived on Genevieve. She said <br />concerns were raised about the traffic being forced into other areas and suggested he read the <br />minutes from those meetings. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ashton asked if the specific issue regarding Mirador Drive could be put to a vote <br />sometime in the future. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver explained a Councilmember could ask to put an item on the agenda. But <br />he did not want to do this every time there was a 3-2 vote. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said there could be another discussion of the item, but the decision may <br />not change. She understood a resident could ask for an item to be put on the agenda. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said a member of the public could raise an item in front of the Council, but <br />it would take three Councilmembers to vote on hearing the issue. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said she would be happy to meet with Mr. Ashton along with Ms. Dennis. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis commented that the street does not support opening it at both ends and <br />encouraged Mr. Ashton to join the traffic calming committee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Ashton said he would be glad to meet with Council regarding this. <br /> <br /> Jeffrey Richardson, 6978G Dublin Meadows, Dublin, representing Lawrence Livermore <br />National Laboratory, and Tom Trainer, Nielsen Dillingham, a Pleasanton based company, <br />announc~xl the award of an $11 million construction contract for a laser facility. <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, spoke about the dangers of substance abuse and <br />believed this included guns as well as drugs and alcohol. He would like Council to consider all <br />substances before taking any action on pending substance abuse. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 9/2/97 <br />Minutes 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
