It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Brandes, that Resolution No. 82-483, reaffirming City Council's commitment to high quality develop- ment and balanced growth for Pleasanton, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilmember Mercer stated that questions have been raised regarding the duties of the Cable T.V. Citizens Advisory Committee. He stated the Committee was originally formed to review the rate structure of Viacom. He advised that of the original Com- mittee, some members have dropped out and others have been added. He stated that the City of Dublin does not have an appointed liaison member on this Committee, and he felt the three affected cities should have equal representation. Councilmember Mercer re- quested that the scope of duties of the Cable T.V. Citizens Advisory Committee be re- viewed; that size and membership of the Committee be considered; if matters other than rate structure are to be considered then should Viacom be invited to the meetings as an ad hoc member; and whether or not the Committee should be continued. After discus- sion, the Mayor instructed Councilmember Brandes to meet with other City liaison mem- bers of the Cable T.V. Citizens Advisory Committee regarding a redefinition of the charges of the Committee as well as organization and by-laws. Councilmember Brandes stated he strongly concurs with the resolution presented earlier by Councilmember Mercer regarding balanced growth in Pleasanton. He stated there is a tremendous financial crisis in the United States; the State is in financial jeopardy; and County programs are being cut. He stated that previous City Councilmem- bers have been conscientious in planning and the benefits are being realized. He stated the Hacienda Business Park is the result of many years of good planning and is a great opportunity for the City for increased revenue, and to provide additional services and jobs. He stated that the City of Pleasanton is in a very unique posi- tion and he is optomistic for the future of the community. Mayor Butler stated that Council recently discussed the legality of certain Zone 7 Board of Directors serving in this capacity and making decisions directly affecting the City of Pleasanton, while at the same time having taken legal action against the City of Pleasanton relative to the Hacienda Business Park. He stated he felt this at least a moral conflict of interest. After discussion, it was moved by Mayor Butler, and seconded by Councilmember Mercer, that Resolution No. 82-484, officially express- ing opposition to two Zone 7 Board c£ Directors voting on decisions affecting the City of Pleasanton because of a moral Conflict of Interest, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None 3. 12/13/82
