<br /> MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCILMEMBERS
<br /> Discussion of Nonprof.~t Corporation for City Council Chamber
<br /> Mayor Mercer stated he felt there had been some misunderstanding regarding the
<br /> newly formed Nonprofit Corporation for City Council Chambers. He advised that this
<br /> is a community-wide project and that he expects financial support from the home-
<br /> owners associations, real estate companies, developers, and various civic organi-
<br /> zations as well as the entire community to get the building underway. He stated the
<br /> proposed City Council Chamber building is planned to be attached to the present City
<br /> Hall building, and that it would not have any effect on the future Cultural Arts
<br /> Center proposed to be constructed at the Citic Center site. Mayor Mercer requested
<br /> Council to adopt a resolution in total support of the proposed City Council Chambers.
<br />· It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember Mohr, that Resolu-
<br /> tion No. 81-71, supporting the Nonprofit Corporation for City Council Chambers in
<br /> the construction of a Council Chamber, be adopted.
<br /> The roll call vote was as follows:
<br /> AYES: Councilmembers Kephart, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Mercer
<br /> NOES: None
<br /> ABSENT: Councilmember Butler
<br />
<br /> Mayor Mercer urged all the people of Pleasanton to be involved and contribute
<br /> to this project.
