Ms. Dennis indicated she had spoken with Jocelyn Combs of the East Bay Regional Park <br />District and Ms. Combs had indicated the District had no more money to purchase park land. <br />However, the District could have access to other funds if the City could provide matching funds <br />to purchase property to complete the Pleasanton Ridge Trail. The District would need <br />approximately $200,000. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta indicated the matter would be referred to the park liaison committee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver suggested moving the golf course to the "high priority-unfunded" list. He <br />also recommended changing the designation of the 33 acre park revenue and expenditures to <br />"undetermined". He also expressed concern about the new fire station, its location, when it will <br />be built, and how the Ruby Hill development will be participating in its funding. <br /> <br /> With regard to the pool, Mr. Tarver made it clear that more is involved than the cost of <br />building the pool. The citizens must be aware of the costs of operation and maintenance and <br />there may be added charges to the public. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner asked for clarification of the skateboard facility. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson indicated the "demonstration" park will probably become a permanent <br />facility and may be expanded in the future. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Scribner, that Resolution No. 94-83 be <br />adopted, approving the five-year Capital Improvement Program Budget for fiscal years 1994-95 <br />through 1998-99, with the north Pleasanton park land purchase and revenues to be undetermined, <br />and moving the golf course to the high priority-unfunded list. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Mohr Scribner and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Pico <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> There was a break at 8:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> The meeting was reconvened at 8:37 p.m. <br /> <br /> Council then discussed the Operating Budget. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner expressed her desire that the Convention and Visitors Bureau be self- <br /> sustaining. She believed the businesses that benefitted most were restaurants and hotels and the <br /> CVB should seek funding from them. Ms. Scribner also wanted to make sure there was <br /> accountability for the City funds. <br /> <br />07/19/94 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
