After discussion, Mayor Mercer appointed Councilmembers Mohr and Wood to meet with members of the Dublin City Council to discuss this matter. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no City Council Committee Reports presented at this meeting. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mrs. Dorothy Bevard, 7974 Hillsboro Court, stated that her residence backs up to Foothill Road adjacent to the Moller/Ormond dirt quarry, which has 220 trucks per day traveling within 100 feet of her windows. She advised that the quarry operators have asked for a seventeen year extension of their permit as well as an increase in truck traffic, which she adamantly opposes. She stated the quarry sometimes operates from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and that it creates noise, dust, and traffic hazards.

Mr. Oliva stated he moved to Pleasanton nine years ago because he felt it would be a dynamic place to live and he knew a certain amount of progress is needed but he urged Council to carefully consider the large amount of development being pro- posed in the community. He also felt the City is getting too many soundwalls, which in his opinion adversely affect the aesthetics of a neighborhood. Mayor Mercer in- structed staff to put extra patrols in this area to check on speed of trucks and to take corrective measures; that the streets be swept as soon as possible; and that the 4. 8/14/84
