sure Pleasanton has all the information and San Francisco and the County would have the benefit of our critique of it. She also wanted to insert "and/or" on the draft specific plan because the solution does not have to be based on the draft specific plan only. There has to be a commitment to discuss everything that might resolve the conflict. Pleasanton's representatives would bring input from the public workshops and surveys, and have it available at the discussions. She felt this could be done expeditiously. Mr. Roush expressed that if the public input is to be included, he would qualify it with the word expeditiously so that it is clear that Pleasanton intended to have that input and it can get built into the process. Ms. Michelotti felt that this could be done within the ninety day time frame that was proposed. Ms. Dennis realized that in determining who will process the plan, public participation and random surveys might be helpful in demonstrating that a plan can be arrived at that is acceptable to Pleasanton residents. At that time, the City and County of San Francisco might reconsider its position and allow Pleasanton to process a plan. Mayor Tarver felt confident that the City can come out with a plan that everyone can accept. If that happens, there will be no need for the citizens to referend a project that they have been involved in. He felt that through the process, San Francisco will get information about how the community is responding to the planning process and what is being done. Ms. Dennis thought that if the City could go into a holding pattern (while the counter- proposal is reviewed) for a certain period of time, that would be helpful. She hoped there could also be agreement under the LAFCO process. There was discussion about how a section of the agreement could be reworded. Ms. Dennis asked at what point is public input considered in the planning process, and what form would be useful to take this input. Whether the design issues versus density can be sorted out might be helpful for the decision makers to work with. Ms. Michelotti felt that staff wanted to get into the process immediately. At the point in time when the staffs are working together, input can be given from Councilmembers or the public. If our counter-proposal is not acceptable, then some people should get together on the process and get that resolved immediately. Mayor Tarver replied that as soon as the specific issues are nailed down (which are outlined in the planning process), it would be helpful to get the public involved in the process as soon as possible with the decision making body. 08/22/95 -13-
