' 371 Ms. Sue Evans, S610 Paseo Navarro, asked why items 2 and 3 were removed from the public hearing. Mayor Butler advised that the School District felt there were some questions that needed answering before taking action on these parcels. Ms. Evans stated she felt the site between Black Avenue and Hansen Drive should remain a school site. She requested to be notified when there are further public hearings on this particular item. Mr. Gary Gilmore, attorney representing Pleasanton Joint School District, re- viewed the reasons for removing items 2 and 3 from the public hearing; stating that the City has expressed an interest in a land exchange with regard to the park in the Mission Hills area, and that after meetings with various groups it was felt that further study should be given to the site located between Black Avenue and Hansen Drive for possible future need as a school site. He stated that State law requires taxing vacant lan~ after a five year period, and that this tax is creating a great financial burden on the school district. He added that the tax continues to go up every year. Mr. Bill Berck, Superintendent of Schools, 565 St. Mary Street, stated t~School District is told by State law how this money can be spent; and it is their intent to use it for capital needs.
