It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Mohr, to send the letter to the Board of Supervisors as submitted in the staff report. The r011 C~ll vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarvet NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Ms. Michelotti felt this was a good chance for another jurisdiction to work with the City to get the best results. Mr. Tarver appreciated the remarks of Mr. Jones and supported what he said. He hoped this letter is strong enough and gets attention. However, he believed that what will happen is the Board of Supervisors and Fair Board will work hard to change the management and have open meetings, but still not give the City land use control of the Fairgrounds. He will not back off that position and hoped the Fair Liaison Committee and Board of Supervisors get to the issue of land use control and resolves the differences. Ms. Michelotti felt this is an opportunity to deliver what the Council wants. There is still a need to identify all the issues and then fight the battle. Mr. Pico remarked that the audit report also addressed a change in the governing board and the City letter is silent on that issue. He felt the City should have a representative on the Board of Directors of the Fair Association. Ms. Dennis believed the report did not address that because it focussed more on the primary issues. The audit already beats up the Fair Board about its management. We can bring that up in the Liaison Committee. Another way of getting representation is through public relations out reach. She did not feel the issue was skirted altogether. Ms. Michelotti did not feel this is a good point in time to pursue that issue. It can be addressed later after we deal with other issues. She wanted to keep the focus where it should be. Ms. Dennis asked the City Attorney if there would be a conflict of interest if there were a Pleasanton representative on the Fair Board and Council was also asserting the City had land use authority and requiring the Fair Board to make applications to the City. Mr. Roush did not think there would be a conflict. From time to time Council has representatives on other Boards or Commissions that come before Council. Mr. Tarver suggested changing the last sentence in the letter regarding the Board governance and management structure (where it talks about the City/Fair Liaison Committee -15- 10/15/96
