245 Mayor Butler stated that the Steering Committee of the General Plan Review had previously requested to be notified of any industrial development that would be coming before the City Council. He advised there will be some development in the County on the Moldt Ranch, and he asked Council if they felt the Committee should be notified of this potential development. After discussion, Council agreed that the Steering Com- mittee should be notified and asked to submit comment upon possible development on the Moldt Ranch. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS There were no City Council Committee reports presented at this meeting. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Robert Pearson, 3590 Churchill Court, Vice Chairperson of the Steering Com- mittee of the General Plan Review, requested that no action be taken on the Moldt property until the Committee has had time to review and respond regarding this matter. Mr. Leo Heckathorn, 4202 Stanley Boulevard, presented a clipping to Council rela- tive to affordable housing in Livermore, built by local residents and at a cost much less than the affordable housing approved on Vineyard Avenue. He urged Council to consider this type of program for affordable housing in Pleasanton. Ms. Victoria Graham, 367 Bernal Avenue, asked if and when sidewalks and street lights would be installed on Bernal Avenue. Mr. Warnick advised that Bernal Avenue will be realigned and made a cul-de-sac near the railroad tracks on the present street, and that there are no provisions made for sidewalks or additional street lights. He stated these types of improvements would be the responsibility of the individual pro- perty owner.
