24 <br /> <br /> problem. She felt that this was an opportunity to receive <br /> information and give it to the public and educate ~he voters. The <br /> timing was bad but it was necessary to explore alternatives and <br /> options. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver moved, and Ms. Scribner seconded, that Pleasanton <br /> enter into discussions about settlement, to find out what the <br /> conditions could be and whether or not it could work, but that no <br /> action be taken until after the election. <br /> <br /> The rQ~ ~all vote was as fol~QWs: <br /> AYES: CouncilmAm~ers Scribner and Tarver <br /> NOES: Mayor Mercer, Councilmembers Butler and Mohr <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer felt that the election was being tainted because <br /> Pleasanton is in the middle of a process. He did not object to <br /> considering this after the election in June. He believed that the <br /> Greenbelt Alliance should not be a pan of the negotiations. Just <br /> because it filed suit should not give it the authority to <br /> negotiate. He would rather East Bay Regional Park District-be <br /> involved. He did not feel that Pleasanton residents should pay the <br /> legal fees for the Greenbelt Alliance. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohrdid not agree that Measure. M was placed on the ballet <br /> not in good faith. If Measure K was supported by the voters and <br /> Council entered into negotiations, then Council would have entered <br /> inthe negotiations other than in good faith. She was disconcerted <br /> about the comments made this evening which seemed to be clear <br /> threats. She felt that there was an obligation to the voters to <br /> follow through. She would be willing to look at alternatives if <br /> Measure K failed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler stated that this proposal was not about open space <br /> and Measure K, it was to discuss a lawsuit. He was willing to <br /> discuss any arrangement that helped Council further the objective <br /> of open space but if the settlement proposal was legitimate, it <br /> would not have come at this time. He agreed that the Greenbelt <br /> Alliance should not be part of the negotiations. The negotiations <br /> would derail the process of this election if entered into at this <br /> time. Measure K was a mandate to a process. The citizens need to <br /> decide on Measure K. <br /> <br /> Item 8c <br /> Street Maintenance <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler requested a review of street maintenance at Las <br /> Lomitas/Oak Circle/Entrada (Pleasanton Heights area). <br /> <br /> 5/5/92 24 <br /> <br /> <br />
