across from the library. She felt the County is on Pleasanton's side and that the City will fare so much better with the County than in court. She urged Council to make the decision and not abdicate its responsibilities to lawyers and courts. Bob Watson, 1346 Ridgewood Drive, was in favor of the golf course to be installed on the San Francisco land. He felt that the City has nothing to lose and everything to gain by going ahead with this project. If we don't and San Francisco goes to the County, we might end up with a high density situation with no golf course. Larry Levin, 3178 Weymouth Court, urged Council to move forward. He'd prefer Pleasanton to make some decision and not leave everything up to the County. He asked Council to support the plan and to do the modifications during the 5-6 years that the project will Mite to complete and possibly lower the number of units through those negotiations. Kay Ayala, 4515 Gatetree Circle, stated there has never been a committee that did not include the golf course in the plans for the San Francisco property.

He wants something else. San Francisco should go through the same process that everyone else has to go through. He doesn't feel enough is being given to the community to accept 1600-1900 units. He felt that if we sign the agreement our options are Ms. Ayala stated the citizens should know what alternatives there are if this agreement is not signed. Mayor Tarver replied that the citizens should go to Alameda County and make the best case they can before the Board of Supervisors and the Hag Commission and if they don't like the project, they can initiate a referendum of the County action. He stated what was said -- in the letter regarding a municipal golf course was that if San Francisco wanted 1600-1900 units there, then the community should have the golf course. If we couldn't get a golf course or didn't need a golf course because we have another municipal course, he asked how the options 01/02/96 -20-
