365 enter into a maintenance agreement for repair of the streets. Councilmember Kephart requested that a condition be added to require the tarping of gravel loads. Council- member Butler stated that acceleration and deceleration lanes into the quarry site are essential. Council discussion ensued relative to the number of trucks per day and hours of operation, and determined that the hours of operation should be limited to 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Discussion concerning the number of trucks/day to be allowed ensued, with it being noted that the proposal itself would limit activity to 400 trucks/day. However, it was noted that the Board seemed willing to allow unlimited harvesting during the two year term. Mayor Mercer suggested the Environmental Impact Report should address this change in intensity of use. Councilmember Mohr stated she would present these suggested conditions to the Board of Supervisors at their meeting of March 16th. Mayor Mercer stated that several street lights are out in the vicinity of Jack- in-the-Box, and he requested staff to investigate this matter. Mayor Mercer stated that on Hopyard Road between Valley and Black Avenues there is unfinished paving that is causing a hazardous condition. He instructed staff to contact Ponderosa Homes or Redgwick Construction Company and request them to take care of this matter. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilmember Butler reported on a meeting of the joint sewer committee, stating that the contract for the expansion of the plant to accommodate 1 MGD had been let, and that the District is continuing to study the possibility of a co-generation facility. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. Frank C. Brandes, Jr., 6889 Corte Sonada, stated there is a weight limitation on trucks posted in Pleasanton and that perhaps this could be used to control trucks at the proposed quarry on Foothill Road. Mr. Ted Bogardus, 4491 Sandalwood Drive, addressed the Council regarding street lights. He stated he had taken a survey of various locations in the City and he felt some lights were on in places that were not necessary and that there were certain unlit areas that should have street lights on. He requested the City to make a sur- vey and determine what lighting in the City is not necessary; turn lights back on in tracts where it is dangerously dark; and review the possibility of turning all lights back on with everyone in the City paying their fair share. Mayo~ Mercer reviewed the street lighting policy and the reasons for turning off street lights. Mr. Bogardus stated he felt there was inequity in the street lighting policy and felt this should be pointed out to Council. He requested that the area of Stoneridge Shopping Center and Foothill Road be looked at for excessive lighting; that other portions of Foothill Road be looked at for additional lighting needed; and that further study be made of various tracts that need street lights on. Mayor Mercer instructed staff to investi- gate this matter. Mr. David Herndon, Livemore, stated that Pleasanton could increase its income by a more accurate method in the business license department for collecting business license fees. He stated it had come to his attention that Pleasanton Greens had not paid any business license fee in the 5½ years they have been in operation. He sug- gested there might be other apartment owners who did not have a business license; also, he felt there are probably many home occupations not paying City license fees and that any home occupancy business should pay their fair share. Mr. Walker advised that the City's business license fee is nominal and that staff does not have time to thoroughly search out businesses not paying a business license fee, and he did not feel it would pay to hire additional staff to do this. Mr. Herndon stated he felt the license process is an obligation of the City, for the protection of its citizens. 3. 3/9/82
