251 <br /> <br />disagreed that the Committee should only be residents. The <br />selection is very important and the Committee needs expertise. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if the requirement of being a resident of <br />Pleasanton is applied to a Committee such as this one. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta stated that there were different rules for <br />Commissions and Committees. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr suggested that the Citizen at Large could be changed <br />to be someone representing the environmental community. She felt <br />the purpose of this Committee is to bring expertise from those <br />sectors of the community that can offer that kind of information to <br />Council. If it is broadened, the effectiveness would be diluted. <br />This is a good beginning and changes could be made in a couple of <br />years if necessary. <br /> <br /> John Walters, Doubletree Hotel and President of the Convention <br />Visitors Bureau, asked that Council consider adding a member from <br />the Hospitality Committee or the Convention Visitors Bureau. He <br />was involved with the Mayor's Economic Development Committee and <br />felt that it was worthwhile and would like to stay involved. <br />Because of the nature of his business, he is interested in <br />transportation, affordable housing, etc. <br /> <br /> Dave Moils, 1819 Foxswallow, supported Mr. Pico's comments. <br />He agreed that the educational and environmental aspect of the <br />community should be represented. <br /> <br /> Shelby Martin, Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, 450 Main <br />Street, reiterated that at the October 25 Board of Directors <br />meeting of the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, the Board approved <br />the Economic Development Advisory Report in concept. She looked <br />forward to working with the Committee and staff. Ms. Martin asked <br />if the selection procedure for the Chamber of Commerce <br />representative was being changed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta stated that the Chamber wanted to select its own <br />representative to the Committee. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr felt that a representative from the Hospitality <br />Committee or the Convention Visitors Bureau is appropriate. It is <br />more appropriate than manufacturing. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Mohr to establish the Economic Development <br />Advisory Committee; that the manufacturing member to be replaced <br />with a representative from the Convention Visitors Bureau; and the <br />Citizen at Large to be replaced with a representative from the <br />environmental community. <br /> <br /> The motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />12/15/92 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
