Councilmember Mercer indicated this <br />is going to happen anyway and it would be great for Pleasanton residents to <br />get a pay raise and also get a job transfer so they can work in town. <br /> CBG claims taxes will rise and Council can levy new taxes or assessment <br />districts at will. Mercer indicated Prop 13 disallows new taxes and that no <br />residential property is included in the assessment districts. <br /> CBG claims housing will sprawl from "hillside to hillside" and cause <br />pressure on schools. Councilmember Mercer indicated residential growth will <br />remain in accordance with the General Plan and that no double sessions are <br />planned for Pleasanton schools as suggested. <br /> CBG also pointed out increases in air pollution and higher noise levels, <br />which Councilmember Mercer strongly rejected indicating the pollutant level <br />has dramatically improved since opening the new freeway over the hill; Pleasanton <br />does not produce its own smog since it comes in from Hayward and San Jose areas. <br /> Councilmember indicated that in, the past there have been three elections <br />dealing with industrial/commercial growth in Pleasanton, and at all three <br />elections the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of growth. He feels this <br />small group is not telling the truth and not doing what most residents feel <br />is proper. <br /> <br /> 11/23/82 <br /> <br /> <br />
