Gene Pons, 832 Abbie Street, presumed that most of Council would not want Bay <br />Meadows activities in Pleasanton and appreciated there was nothing to review at this time. <br />However, this is different than the San Francisco property dispute, where Council had to decide <br />whether to do baffle or negotiate. He agreed negotiation is the best course in that instance. The <br />Bay Meadows proposal is very different and he felt Council should act right away and send a <br />strong message they should not even think about it. <br /> <br /> Hugh Metzler, 6932 Corte Monterey, wanted to be sure people were aware of this issue <br />and urged more public notice. He expressed concern about the effect on property values and <br />echoed concerns about traffic. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarvet, seconded by Mr. l'ico, to write a letter to the Board <br />of Supervisors and the Fair Board indicating this proposal is not supported by the <br />community and they should not consider it. <br />Th~ roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michclotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarvcr <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Dave Jones, 1605 Rose Avenue, showed a 1986 aerial view of the Fairgrounds area. He <br />pointed out the area he and his father own, which is 15% of Pleasanton's downtown residential <br />area and pointed out the area on the map. He was optimistic for the buildout of the property. <br />He felt the other opinions were justified, however, we really don't know what is being proposed. <br />He then talked about lowering the race track and building a herre. <br /> <br /> Pierre Bierre, 980 Riesling Drive, indicating gambling is harmful to the community and <br />encourages other harmful activities. There is a conffict in community values and he wanted to <br />know if Bay Meadows was intent on pursuing the move without the consent of the surrounding <br />city. We could then decide on what tactics to use. <br /> <br /> There was a break at 8:53 p.m. <br /> <br /> The meeting was reconvened at 9:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Item 6b <br />Review of PlCp~$anton Garba_~e Service r~_uest for rate increase and discussion of refuse <br />ltnll recyclin~ issues.
