Mr. Line reminded the Mayor and Mr. Churka that there is a petition with 135 <br />names of people opposed to the train on file with the Metropolitan Transportation <br />Commission. He did not believe a ballot measure would have any influence on the MTC. <br />Mr. Line's final questions were: what happens to the walkway to the Senior Center; what <br />is the PUC attitude about five street crossings; where is the rolling stock for the railroad; <br />and can the city afford to risk any more of the taxpayers' money? <br /> <br /> Geoff Cooper, 7534 Flagstone, referred to the Council decision on the Ruby Hill <br />park fees credit. It was made late in the evening with no public comment. The <br />neighborhood park will not be open to non-residents and he questioned whether the <br />residents of Pleasanton are getting the best deal. The reasons for giving the maximum <br />are not clear to him and requested the Council to reconsider this item on a future agenda <br />and take public testimony. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis agreed there needed to be more input from the public and more <br />information given to them. She suggested that questions be referred to Dolores Bengtson <br />so they can be answered in the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti agreed there needs to be fi~rther discussion, since there appears to <br />be a lot of misinformation circulating. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to reconsider the <br />decision giving the Ruby Hill park fee credit at the April 4, 1995 meeting. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councihnernbers - Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Fred Guyhart, 4779 McHenry Gate Way, Vice President of Pleasanton Men's <br />Senior Baseball League, and Butt Hadlock, 4718 McHenry Gate Way, President of the <br />Men's Senior Baseball League, agreed with the reconsideration of the Ruby Hill decision. <br />They believed City parks were at their maximum use and were opposed to using <br />developer fees for parks not available for city-wide use. They described the League, its <br />membership and history. The League sent three teams to the national tournament in <br />Arizona and the 30 and over team won its Division. They presented Council with a <br />plaque commemorating that. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti explained that the Ruby Hill park is a neighborhood park, not a <br />community park. <br /> <br />03/07/95 - 5 - <br /> <br /> <br />
