Mr. Tom Andrews, Co-Chairman of the Citizens General Plan Review Committee, requested tentative growth rate figures in order that the Committee would have guidelines as to how to proceed with their study. Mrs. Helen L. Robinson, 1312 Vintner Way, suggested that other areas should be studied, such as the seismic element, air quality element, and noise, before development of any area. Mr. Juan Covian, 4380 Chapman Way, expressed concern about where the sewer capacity would come from to sustain the 800 growth rate, and the economics of a two year delay in the building of the proposed Stoneridge Shopping Center. Mr. Frank Brandes, 6889 Corte Sonada, stated he felt tentative and final maps should not be approved until after the completion of the General Plan Review. Mayor Reid declared this matter continued until such time as additional data and input has been received in order to determine more accurately the growth rate and goals for the City. Mayor Reid requested that, since it was past 10:00 P.M., Item 14 would be heard at this time. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mrs. Jo Harding, 540 E.

SPECIAL REPORTS (Contd.) .~eport of the Sub-committee of the City .C~unci!.~ Re: Labor Relations Consolidated BargaininE Mr~ Edgar presented the staff report regarding this matter, stating the desira- bility and feasibility of employing the concept of Joint bargaining in labor re- lations, and recommended the following: (1) the City of Pleasanton enter into the proposed Joint Powers Agreement for labor relations consolidated bargaining through adoption of t}~e Resolution of Execution; (2) that the parties to the Joint Powers Agreement be limited this year to the following public agencies: City of Pleasanton, City of Livermore, and Valley Community Services District; and (3) that the employ- ment of the concept of Joint bargaining as called for in the Joint Powers Agreement be limited ~his year to the respective Fire Services employee organizations of the above named public agencies. Mr. Carl Bunch, Attorney, P. O. Box 67, Pleasanton, representing Pleasanton Fire Fighters Local 1974, stated that the firemen had not received sufficient notice of the pending plan, and that such a Joint powers venture could rob each employer entity of its bargaining autonomy. He further stated that he has reason to believe the firemen will not be willing to negotiate on a Joint basis, and there is nothing the agencies can do about ft. Mr. Bunch also said that by the Joint exercise, each agency might sacrifice power over its own employees since in effect you have delegated some of the authority in the decision making process. He urged the City Council to delay any action on this matter until the firemen have had time to study this matter further. 5. 3/12/73
