MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCILMEMBERS Councilmember Butler stated that the League of California Cities has done a detailed analysis of Governor Brown's proposals for local governments for the next fiscal year. He stated that in light of economic concerns, he felt that local governments are being asked to cut back and control spending while state govern- ment is adding a magnitude of spending in their jurisdiction. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Butler, and seconded by Mayor Mercer, that Resolution No. 82-61, supporting the League of California Cities position in opposition to Governor Brown's budget, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Kephart, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilmember Wood advised that Pacific Wholesale Nursery in Sunol has donated plants to take care of the landscaping for the Council Chambers. Councilmember Wood reported on activities of the Solid Waste Management Board, stating there will be a public hearing to consider Oakland Scavanger disposal at the Altamont, as well as other reports. Councilmember Wood stated that city arroyos are not identified and he thought it would be in order to identify them on the various city bridges. Mayor Mercer stated that several agencies are considering the passage of a vicious animal ordinance, and that the City has received a request from the Board of Supervisors asking if the City is interested in such an ordinance. After dis- cussion, Council instructed staff to report back on this matter, specifically with a report from the Police Chief and an opinion from the Acting City Attorney relative to the controls the City presently has in effect. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilmembers presented various Committee Reports for the information of the Council. Councilmember Butler reported he had recent discussions with Zone 7 concerning the flood hazard in the Valley Trails area and concerning Valley-wide attack on the sewerage facility problems Just getting underway. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Bill Christensen, 7979 Hillsboro Court, stated that the proposed Moller quarry on Foothill Road is again before the Board of Supervisors for consideration. He reviewed the opposition of the residents in the area, property owners at the Stoneridge Shopping Center, and the City Council. He advised that Supervisor Don Excell has stated that the environmental impact report is grossly exaggerated and that any adverse impacts can be mitigated. Mr. Christensen requested that a repre- sentative of City Council be present at the public hearing before the Board of Supervisors on Thursday, March 4, 1982, 10:30 a.m., to express the City's opposi- tion to this proposed project, and he also requested that each Councilmember per- sonally contact Supervisor Excell to voice opposition to this quarry proposal. He asked the Press to make special mention of this meeting and urge interested citizens to attend and express their concern regarding traffic and other adverse impacts that the proposed development will have in the area of Foothill Road. After discussion, Council determined that Councilmember Mohr would attend the Board of Supervisors meeting to express the City's position in opposition to the Moller quarry project on Foothill Road and to also advise that no compromise would be acceptable, and that each Councilmember would contact Supervisor Excell to voice the City's opposition to this proposed project. 3. 2/23/82
