177 <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer pointed out that this matter is not part of the <br />Agenda item and asked the Council if it wanted to accept Canyon <br />Meadows Project's $100,000 contribution to the Affordable Housing <br />Fund and the $5,000 credit on 20 units for the Canyon Meadows <br />Project. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Tarver, and seconded by Ms. Mohr, to <br />accept the Canyon Meadows Project developer's offer to contribute <br />$100,000 to the Affordable Housing Fund and to give County, City <br />and School District employees a $5,000 credit on 20 units in the <br />Project. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Butler, Mohr, Tarver and Mayor <br /> Mercer <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 8e <br />City of Pleasanton 100th Birthday Anniversary <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer stated that on June 18, 1994, the City will be 100 <br />years old and that he has requested Mr. Brad Hirst, who took <br />charge of the City's 75th anniversary celebration, to chair the <br />Centennial Committee on behalf of the City. He requested Council <br />to consider appropriating some funds for the celebration during <br />budget time for the next four years. <br /> <br />Department of Enerqy's Proposal for Restricted Airspace <br /> <br /> Mr. Butler expressed concern about the Department of Energy's <br />proposal for restricted airspace over the Livermore Airport. He <br />pointed out two important factors to consider: (1) The prevailing <br />weather conditions are such that almost all traffic takes off and <br />lands to the west. As a result, the traffic that easternmost <br />residents get is on take-off, and the aircraft would have climbed <br />quite a bit before it goes over North Pleasanton. (2) The airport <br />has only one instrument landing system, which goes directly <br />through the proposed restricted air space. This means that all <br />bad weather approaches would have to come from the west to the <br />east. Restricted airspace would have a negative impact on the <br />residents in the area under almost all conditions. He recommended <br />that Council oppose the restriction and request staff to prepare a <br />resolution to that effect for the next Council meeting. He added <br />that the City of Livermore has already expressed its opposition <br />and that although the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has <br />not taken any position on the matter, it is doubtful that it would <br />support the issue. <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer stated that he supports Mr. Butler, since the <br />safety of the North Pleasanton residents far outweighs any jF <br />economic impact the airport can bring in. He added that it was/ <br />his opinion that the Livermore airport should be closed. ~ <br /> <br /> - 13 - <br /> 4-3-90 <br /> <br /> <br />
