Mr. Jack Parker, 7452 Mui~ood Court, stated he felt Council's decision tonight was a direct result of Livermore's stand taken at their City Council meeting last night in opposition to the water slide at Shadow Cliffs Park. He felt Council should hear the public input at tomorrow night's public hearing meeting. Mr. Parker stated he was in favor of the water slide and felt what Council did to- night was unfair based on the meeting tomorrow night where East Bay Regional Park District will present additional information. He added that Council's stand to- night will effect the discussions tomorrow night. Councilmember Kephart and Mayor Mercer responded that their decision was made in direct response to the Environmental Impact Report, and not to Livermore's position on this matter. Mr. Vincent Castillo, 3790 Gettysburg Court North, stated he felt Council was premature in taking their stand because not enough time had been given for review. He stated he was in favor of the water slide at Shadow Cliffs Park. PUBLIC HEARINGS Appeal of a decision of the Planning Commission denyin~ the application of Mildred R.
