He stated that East Bay Regional Park District requires 25% registered voter signatures on a petition before it will con- duct the feasibility study. He stated that financing for the project could come from a number of sources such as state bond monies, federal land and water grant money, bond election, local participation from industry, grazing operations, and EBRPD funds. Ms. Dagmar Fulton, 4536 Miradot Drive, stated she opposed development of the ridgelands park and any further studies being conducted regarding this matter. She stated that studies have been done on this issue as far back as 1976. She stated she felt there are better ways to spend tax dollars that would benefit the general popu- lation more effectively. She stated she felt this is an harrassment to the public for this continuous demand for more of this type of land of which there is already an over-abundance, and in this case will be used for grazing land rather than recrea- tional purposes. She urged Council to say No and not to spend public funds on some- thing that is not needed. Mr. Lee Henderson, 2870 Foothill, stated he felt the ridgeland area should be preserved and that he did not want to see it developed residentially. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Mohr, and seconded by Council- member Mercer, that Resolution No. 83-363, endorsing the concept of a feasibility study to see whether or not it is possible to have a ridgelands park on Pleasanton Ridge, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Actions Taken by the Board of Adjustments.
