167 Mr. Stanley Rathbone, 325 Ray Street, referring to the City's Redevelopment Plan, read two articles on the adverse effects of city growth and on the earthquake faults running close to Pleasanton. Mr. John Pacholski, 278 West Angela, expressed concern about the closing of PJ's Daycare Center due to the non-renewal of its lease by Lynnewood United Methodist Church. He mentioned that this Center maintained a modest price structure to accomodate single working mothers and is the only one in the Valley that accepts subsidized funds from Resources for Family Development. He inquired if the owners or parents have any recourse against the lessor's decision through a city ordinance or regulation. Mr. Mercer stated that the City has no jurisdiction over private enterprise and therefore could not intervene in the Church's decision not to renew the lease. He then asked Mr. Walker when the childcare facility in the old library would be completed. Mr. Walker responded that the City has a program currently in operation and referred to Ms. Bengtson to explain the program. Ms. Bengtson explained that the City's program is a preschool and not a daycare center. Mr. Mercer then requested Ms. Bengtson to contact the Church and the Center to get more facts about the closing. In reference to Item 6a - Closure of Blacow Street, a gentleman suggested that a reduced speed limit of 35 miles per hour be posted from Stanley Blvd. down Valley Avenue and that a timed traffic light be installed on the corner of Kolln Street and Valley Avenue. Mr. Mercer requested Mr. Elliott to look into these suggestions. 6.
