Mr. Pico inquired about the termination clause. It was his understanding that as currently written, the agreement could be terminated if all parties agree. Mr. Campbell appears to be suggesting that one party can terminate the agreement. Mr. Pieo also believed that in order to terminate the agreement, it would require a vote of the Pleasanton citizens. Mr. Roush indicated a vote of the people was not legally required to terminate the agreement. The citizens are only required to vote on a change to the general plan land use designation within the Ridgelands. Ms. Dennis asked how the attorneys' fees would be paid and whether the Board of Supervisors had discussed this. Mr. Roush indicated his only reference was in a letter from the County Counsel dated September 22, 1993, which refers to Board action.
