is a major concern. He has made a strong commitment to the residents of Castro Valley to mitigate the impacts. He said constructing one pipeline would have the least amount of impact on the Castro Valley residents. He felt there was a consensus on the LAVWMA Board to accept the hybrid system. The hybrid system would remain true to the concept that was put before the voters of Pleasanton and allow Pleasanton to honor its commitment to the residents of Castro Valley. Ms. Dennis asked if there would be any further opportunity for the community to make comments on the pipeline. Mr. Pico said even though it is still a dual pipeline system through the City of Pleasanton, there would be an opportunity for the public to comment on the addendum to the Environmental Impact Report. The community could question whether or not the City is complying with the intent of the ballot measure. Ms. Dennis asked if thought had been given to other altematives, in case the public did not approve the new routes or the dual pipeline. Mr. Pico said no significant discussions have been held. He said the option of the dual pipeline that is parallel to the existing pipeline is still available. He felt the LAVWMA Board would be willing to discuss additional options, but he strongly encouraged that the project be similar to what was approved by the voters. Ms. Michelotti said LAVWMA has made a commitment to the residents of Castro Valley to install a single pipeline and to limit the impacts to the community. Why wouldn't we want to do the same for our residents? She said there was another measure on the ballot that if the system did not work, adjustments could be made. She said the present plan is to dig up the fight-of-way twice around the Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton. She would like to get input from the community regarding putting in one pipeline, digging up the right-of-way only once, a different route, etc. Mr. Pico felt that those recommendations could be discussed. He was going to support the will and direction of the Council on this matter. He said no matter what is decided the expanded pipeline will have to be constructed and not follow the existing path. Regardless of which altemative is chosen, there will be a major construction project that will impact the Stoneridge Drive businesses. He said there are going to be significant impacts to the community, but this project will help meet the needs for sewer capacity at build out. He would not have a problem putting two pipes side by side and abandoning the existing pipeline going through Pleasanton. He had a problem with a significant portion of the pipeline being 4 1 mgd capacity. He supported the voters of Pleasanton, who had the fight to vote on the pipeline and that if the pipeline significantly deviates away from that vote; it may trigger another vote of the people. He was concerned about making a significant change to the overall pipeline. Ms. Ayala asked, if just the cost was involved what would be a good alternative? Pleasanton City Council 9 04/20/99 Minutes
