Th~ r011 call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmember Mohr and Vice Mayor Micheloffi NOES: Councilmembers Dennis and Pico ABSENT: Mayor Tarvet ABSTAIN: None The motion died because of the tie vote. Mr. Pico indicated that if Ms. Mohr did not feel enough money was being allocated for purchase of library books, then he would entertain allocating additional money from the temporary recession reserve fund on a one-time basis. He indicated he agreed with all the staff recommendations for reallocation of the $4.7 million. Ms. Michelotti disagreed with the recommendation to take $250,000 from the $750,000 for City Hall expansion and puffing it in the land acquisition fund. She also wanted further discussion of the allocation of $200,000 to support community groups. This will be referred to the Human Services Commission and she suggested extending this allocation over six years so there is longer funding for some projects. Ms. Mohr felt there was some logic to that. That assures longer funding for some projects that could allow funding of some staff positions; on the other hand, there are capital improvement needs and one-time funds would be appropriate for equipment or computers, etc. She preferred to give the Human Services Commission flexibility in its allocation. It was moved by Mr. Pieo, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to approve the staff recommendation on the reprogramming of the temporary recession reserve as recommended by staff with two amendments: to include $250,000 for additional expansion of City Hall in the $750,000 to assure completion of the existing facility projects, and to take $56,050 from the $2,256,050 reserve for land purchases and reallocate it for purchase of library books for the Pleasanton library, as recommended by the Library Commition. Ms. Mohr was concerned with spending so much money on short term City Hall expansions and felt this was taking away from the larger purpose of a new City Hall. Ms. Acosta indicated the needs are so critical now, that something has to be done now. We are not close enough on the funding to move forward with a brand new building. The r011 tall vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Mohr, Pico, and Vice Mayor Micheloffi NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Tarvet ABSTAIN: None There was discussion regarding the status of efforts regarding a new City Hall. 06/18/96 -12-
