277 Councilmember Brandes stated he would like to go on record as concurring with Mayor Mercer's comments. There is one other issue; he does believe there is a mechanism to get around growth management. He feels that the people sup- porting this who think they are providing affordable housing are not consis- tent all the way through and the consistency is that the time limits on these projects have been 10-15 years normally which is trying to say there isn't going to be the need for this affordable housing 10-15 years from now. He has always felt that the policies that have been adopted for affordable housing have been inconsistent in that regard also. item 12d Request from School District for Payment of Proposition 4 Funds for Purchase of Middle School Site Mr. Walker presented his report {SR 88:201) dated May 3, lg88, regarding this matter. Nr. Charles Eddinger, representing the School District Board, thanked the Council and the citizens of Pleasanton for voting to use Proposition 4 funds needed to build a middle school. He advised that the School District is in the process of purchasing land owned by the City and County of San Francisco Water Department, which has to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors has approved the sale but it requires a second reading. Councilmember Brandes had concerns regarding what happens if the bond is- sue fails, whether or not the San Francisco property will require an Environ- mental Impact Report, and if City and County of San Francisco Water Department would buy the property back if the School District cannot go through with the purchase or a school cannot be built later. Mr. Eddinger stated the School District has other options it would have to look at if the bond issue fails, a soils test has already been done on the property, and that the City and County of San Francisco has first option to buy back the property, should the School District default, at a value equal to what the School District paid for it. Councilmember Brandes stated he felt the check for $4 million should be held by the City until escrow closes on the School District deal with the City and County of San Francisco or held until after the election on June 7th. Councilmember Wilson stated he feels the School District is competent to purchase and build a school; the City promised the money to them and should go ahead and provide the funds at this time. After further discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolution No. 88-210, authorizing the City Manager to release up to $4 million of Proposition 4 funds to the Amador- Pleasanton School District at the time of close of escrow between the School District and the City and County of San Francisco Water Department for the purchase of land, and instructing the School District to notify the City seven days prior to closing of escrow, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Butler, Mohr, and Mayor Mercer NOES: Councilmember Wilson ABSENT: None item 12e Recommendation to Proceed with Additional Fluoride Facilities for Zone 7 Water Turnouts 3 and 4 - 22 - 5-3-88
