Councilmember Kephart expressed concern and frustration relative to the proposed expansion of the Women's Correctional Facility at Santa Rite and the inability of the City to get attention regarding our strong opposition to such a facility near Pleasanton. He stated the Council has previously gone on record in opposition to this proposed expansion and that the appropriate County and State officials have been notified of this position but seemingly to no avail or regard. After discus- tton, Council instructed staff to pursue this matter with higher officials of the State. HEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. William G. Kovac, 3124 Weymouth Court, stated there was an on-going traffic problem at the eastbound ramp from 1-580 onto Santa Rite Road, and advised there had been another accident there this week. He requested that the City get together with Celttans or the County to discuss the traffic problems in this area and to suggest placing a Yield sign at this corner. Mr. Campbell advised that a letter had been sent to the State relative to this matter and that he expected a reply soon. After discussion, Council instructed Mr. Campbell to telephone State officials regarding their response to his letter relative to the traffic problems associated with this area, to prepare a report for Council review, and to include the relevant accident accident records in this report. Mr. Kovac recommended that James R. Walker, Acting City Manager. be considered for appointment as City Manager for the City of Pleasanton. Mr. Lowell Beezley, 3673 Cambridge Court, stated he was getting a reputation as being a no-growth advocate but this is not true. He stated he felt there should be growth in line with availability of sewer capacity. He suggested the General Plan Review Committee review this matter and to establish growth rate schedules for com- mercial/industrial growth in Pleasanton. Mayor Brandes advised that theCeneral Plan' Review Committee had a specific assignment to review the land use/circulation element of the General Plan and could not change this charge without approval of the City Council.
