However, he has been directed by AT&T to indicate to the Council that it would not oppose the <br />$100 per employee figure that has been proposed by staff. <br /> <br /> Barbara Allen, Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, encouraged the Council, staff and <br />developers to reach an agreement as soon as possible on the condition requiring the business <br />park developers to mitigate the recreation impacts on the City' s park system. <br /> <br /> Jim Gresham, Parkway Properties, 7011 Koll Center Parkway, representing Bernal <br />Corporate Park, indicated Parkway Properties is willing to support the consensus position, but <br />more importantly, he agrees with Mayor Tarver's position for reconsideration of the item. He <br />feels it is unfair that there was only a certain window in which business developments were <br />imposed with this condition. <br /> <br /> There were no other speakers. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarvet stated that he would like the Council to consider a higher fee of <br />$159/employee. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Mr. Pico, to adopt the consensus <br />amount of $100 per employee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis commented that this has been her position all along. The condition was <br />imposed because Pieton was taking on a new direction in its economic basis - a vision of <br />wanting to attract large employers to the city. She would like to go forward with that vision. <br />She feels it was an important step for the large employers for the Council to move in that <br />direction as well as to treat future large development in the same way. Ms. Dennis also believes <br />it is very important that the City have large employers making contributions to develop the City <br />as a place where other large employers would choose to locate. <br /> <br />ROLL CALL <br />AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Michelotti, Pico and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Mohr <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Ms. Micheloff inquired how the businesses caught in the middle would be treated. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico feels that they have agreed to a condition, and if an agreement is made, they <br />should honor the agreement. He would, however, agree to discuss whether the Providian <br />condition should be applied to the entire complex or only the third building. <br /> <br /> Ms. Micheloff advised she would not agree to applying the fee to Providian because she <br />feels that if the park obligation fee went forward, every business would be taxed. She would <br />like to have these 'caught' businesses have a final determination after reconsideration. <br /> <br />12/11/95 - 12 - City Council Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
