After dis- cussion, Council concurred for Mayor Mercer to assign a subcommittee to meet with Mozart Development Company, representatives of BART, and City staff regarding this matter. Mayor Mercer appointed Councilmember Brandes and himself to serve on this subcommittee.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Transit Committee Report CouncilmenLber Mohr presented her memorandum dated September 27, 1984, regarding the Transit Committee report. She advised that Hacienda Business Park has requested the Committee to consider the need for a supplemental report of the proposed bus routes in Pleasanton given the industrial, commercial, and residential growth since the first transit study was undertaken, and they are willing to pay for this study. She stated that since the review assessment would be mainly for the City of Pleasanton, the other cities represented on the Transit Committee did not wish to participate. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Mohr, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, that ReSolution No. 84-499, authorizing the conduct of a supplemental transit study that re-examines the proposed bus routes in Pleasanton, that the City contract for this study and seek reimbursement from Hacienda Business Park, directing City staff to prepare a scope of work to govern the conduct of the supplemental study and submit it to the City Council for approval, and authorizing staff to discuss the con- duct of the supplemental study with DKS Associates, the firm who prepared the original transit study, be adopted.

Wood, and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: None MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Jim Self, representing Hacienda Business Park Owners Association, reviewed the steps being taken to alleviate the noise problem presented by Mr. Jacobson at the last Council meeting. Mr. Self advised that the soundwall in Mr. Jacobsonts area will be increased in height by 32 inches, and that work will begin as soon as materials are received. Mr. Self stated that noise level tests will be taken after installation of the higher soundwall to see if it meets city codes; if it does not, further steps will be taken to alleviate the problem, such as double-paned windows, etc. Mayor Mercer thanked Mr. Self for presenting this information to Council. Ms. Jackie Sullivan, 7860 Olive Court, asked if and when Council would consider establishing a campaign contribution ordinance, as presented by Mr. Tarvet at the last meeting. Mayor Mercer advised it would be within 60 days. Mr. Steve Hughes, 587 Touriga Court, spoke regarding Councilmember Brandes' con- cern regarding downspouts causing water drainage problems. He stated his neighbor- hood suffers from this problem. He suggested the downspouts be hooked up to pipes running to the gutter, which would solve a lot of the problems. Mrs. Jackie Murray, 527 Main Street, advised Council she has a parking problem in that there are no parking spaces available where she lives and that Main Street parking is limited to one hour, which requires her moving her car every hour. She requested that Council grant her a special parking permit to allow her to park on Main Street longer than one hour. After discussion, Mayor Mercer directed Mrs. Murray to meet with the City Manager to discuss the matter further to see what can be worked out. 6. 10/2/84
