There was discussion regarding what effect this Initiative would have on Measure M. Mr. Pico then withdrew the motion. Mr. Pico then proposed a motion, seconded by Ms. Dennis, that language be added to the Initiative to state that this Initiative will meet the requirements of and supersede Measure M. Crhere was discussion about exact wording and whether to use 'repeal' or 'supersede'). Mr. Pico also to add that any amendment or change to this initiative only be accomplished by a vote of the people Ms. Dennis proposed adding language as follows, 'There shall be no changes to more intensive land use or creating more significant environmental or financial impacts without a vote of the people." (There was then debate on the terminology and whether to just say "land use"). Mr. Tarver suggested 'This initiative shall not be amended as it relates to land use designations without a vote of the people". Ms. Scribner objected that this complicates the matter. The Council should just be asking to preserve open space. Mr. Tarver pointed out that open space can only be preserved through cooperation with Hayward and Alameda County. 08/04/93 6
