He stated Council should make every effort to make absolutely sure that the County understands how this City Council and the community feel about existing conditions and future development.

He stated that some are now being released in Dublin near K-Mart. He added that he did not think that lobbying the Board of Supervisors would accomplish any favorable results. Councilmember Mercer stated that as far as the negative declaration is concerned, he strongly felt that an Environmental Impact Report should be required. After discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Council- member Brandes, instructing staff to respond to the Negative Declaration for replace- ment facilities at Santa Rita Rehabilitation Center, specifically relative to public controversy indicated as "unknown", and to indicate that Council feels the Negative Declaration is inadequate and that a full Environmental Impact Report should be required to show how overcrowding and security problems will be corrected as a re- sult of the proposed construction. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None 8. 4/27/82
