(SR99:120) <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala explained the reason she asked for this to item to be agendized is because there <br />was so much public interest on the issue. She indicated that a workshop is going to be held <br />Wednesday, May 5, 1999, at 4:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked what limitations or restfictions are there on the City from collecting <br />operational funds for schools. He has heard that if there is no more development there will be no <br />funding for schools. The school impact agreement in place guarantees funding for the needed <br />schools. Additional growth is not required to build the schools that are needed for the growth <br />that has already happened. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if a determination could be made as to how many schools would be <br />needed if the San Francisco property development does not happen, or if the number of units are <br />reduced. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said even if there is no more development there will eventually be over <br />5000 high school students in two locations. If the objective is to reduce the class sizes, then <br />Pleasanton will need to build another high school, with or without any more development. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said the objective is to look into what the community wants and work out <br />what is the solution to reach that objective. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan is not approved, are there any <br />siting contingencies for the school. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said the siting of the schools is an issue. It is not just the numbers that need to <br />be looked at, but also where the schools are located. The demographic report does show with <br />just the approved development to date, the City will need another elementary school. So if the <br />Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan is not approved, the question is will it still be logical to <br />construct a school site in the Vineyard Corridor. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 15 05/04/99 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
