Ms. Michelotti indicated we are still in a process of working with San Francisco. We <br />have spent $108,000 for Calthorpe to prepare a plan and draft guidelines. We are supposed to <br />be reviewing this and working with San Francisco to get a plan the City of Pleasanton can <br />accept. She asked if Mr. Tarver wanted to give all that up now "and abandon all planning <br />efforts. She felt there was a way to continue this process so long as the tolling agreement does <br />not take away any rights for future actions. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush indicated the tolling agreement is not on for approval tonight. If there are <br />other issues Council wishes to decide prior to July 25, he agreed a closed session would be <br />authorized. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico indicated there was a unanimous vote for the City of Pleasanton to resist with <br />every means available the approval of a development plan for the Bernal Avenue property <br />through the County of Alameda. That is still in effect and he intended to pursue that. He felt <br />a closed session was appropriate on the night of July 25. Until the Board of Supervisors <br />approves the application, there is no basis for filing a lawsuit. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver felt it was appropriate to tell another governmental agency that it is making <br />a mistake and that a legal action would be filed if it proceeds in the current direction. In <br />addition, he refused to accept a tolling agreement. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush indicated if Council wishes to debate the merits of a tolling agreement, he <br />preferred to continue that discussion in a closed session. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis indicated the last time Council looked at this situation, it voted to fight the <br />application in the' County. There are things the County can do; there is the possibility of a <br />tolling agreement, and it is good for the County to have the possibilities in front of it when it <br />considers the San Francisco application. This Council has to respond to what the County does, <br />not what it thinks the County will do. She preferred to see what the County does before <br />reacting. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico was not willing to revisit the prior decision to use all efforts to fight any <br />decision for County development. <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush indicated a closed session will be scheduled for the evening of July 25. <br /> <br /> Kay Ayala, 45 15 Gatetree Circle, indicated San Francisco trusted Sharrell Michelotti and <br />some of the committee members. It does not trust the majority of the Council because none of <br />them have attended any recent Alameda County Planning Commission meetings. She urged <br />other Councilmembers to attend the Alameda County meetings to let them know you are willing <br />to proceed with the planning process. Instead some Councilmembers are threatening legal <br />action. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis indicated she was available to attend the Thursday morning meeting. <br /> <br />07/16/96 -31 - <br /> <br /> <br />
