Mayor Mercer stated he did not like hassles and he felt there had been <br />hassling between the City Council, Housing Authority Board, and Kottinger <br />tenants. He stated Pleasanton had a lot to be proud of and there should not <br />be contention among its people. He stated no one should be afraid to speak <br />up about anything they wanted to make known; that problems were different to <br />different persons. Hayor Hercer stated he was not sure he had heard from the <br />majority of the people yet on the Kottinger Place issue and urged them to <br />speak openly on problems so the problems might be investigated. He added he <br />felt the Housing Authority Board should be given time to communicate and solve <br />the problems, as he felt it was their responsibility. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Caughron stated she felt the Council did not consider Komandorskf <br />Village a part of Pleasanton and she did not think this situation should exist. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Gordner stated she could understand tenants reluctance to speak out <br />because they were afraid, but urged residents to call the Board members or <br />write if they did not want to speak out publicly, to inform the Housing Auth- <br />ority Board of their concerns. Mrs. Gordner assured the public that the Board <br />had the tenants best interests at heart. <br /> <br /> Ed Alves stated he would like to have more joint meetings between the City <br />Council and the Housing Authority Board. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Deleray stated she felt there was a definite need for better communi- <br />cation and urged all tenants to speak up regarding their concerns. <br /> <br /> Howard Neely stated that if there were staff problems the Board intended to <br />find out about it. <br /> <br /> Mrs. Pearson thanked everyone for their attendance at this meeting. She <br />stated the Housing Authority Board was aware of existing problems, and that <br />she welcomed input from the City Council. She urged tenants of Kottinger and <br />Komandorski to voice their opinions on matters of concern to them. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer urged better communications between the I~using Authority <br />Board and the residents of Kottinger and Komandorski, and between the Board <br />and Council. <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br /> Mayor ~lercer recessed the meeting at 10:45 P.M., to an Executive Session to <br />discuss litigation. <br /> <br /> Mayor Mercer reconvened the meeting at 11:40 P.M. <br /> <br />ADJOUR~,IENT <br /> There being no further business at 11:45 P.M., Mayor Mercer adjourned the <br />meeting, to meet again in Regular Session on July 25, 1978, 8:00 P.M., in the <br />Pleasanton Council Chambers. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />CLAYTON BRO.
