Mr. Steve Hughes, 587 Touriga Court, stated that some months ago PG&E replaced an electrical vault in front of his home. The subcontractor who did the cement work left it rough and never cameback to smooth it out; Mr. Hughes did it himself. He came to City Hall to see if the subcontractor had a business license; he did not but did have a permit for a portable water meter. He asked if PG&E had a permit to do this particular job; he was advised they did not. He stated he has been back to City Hall several times asking to see documentation of PG&E~s permit and a business license for the subcontractor. He stated that thusfar he has been unable to see these documents. He asked if a fine had been levied in this regard. Mayor Mercer instructed staff to provide the requested information to Mr. Hughes. Mr. Bob Lingo, Dublin resident, spoke on behalf of the proposed excursion rail- road. He stated that he lived in a small town in Utah in 1970 that had a comparable situation. He advised that the steam excursion line proved to be a great asset and a unifying factor to the town. He supported the proposed project for Pleasanton, stating it is a golden opportunity for the City to provide an exciting tourist attraction for the area.
