MATTERS CONTINUED FOR DECISION There were no matters continued for decision. SPECIAL REPORTS Report of the industrial Committee of the Chamber of Commerce Mr. John Edmands displayed a map showing the acreage, location and ownerships of the industrial land on each side of Hopyard Road directly south of Highway 580. ?qr. Edmands reviewed the work being done by the Industrial Committee. He also reported on the statistics relat- ing to industrial development, one of which was the fact that the industrial developers in Pleasanton are spending $100,000 a year in advertizing for tenants. Mr.. Edmands emphasized the fact that the Chamber of Commerce simply did not have the funds to hire a full time manager and staff to pursue this type of development. He then introduced Mr. Tom Howard, an Industrial Committee member, who is employed by Reynold C. Johnson Company. Mr. Howard not only concurred with Mr. Edmands remarks but advised the Council that some 38 inquiries were received as a result of advertising in a national magazine which featured the Kaiser Research Center in Pleasanton. He also reported that these inquiries were from nation-wide sources who each expressed a preliminary inter- est in developing in Pleasanton. Mr. Howard further stated that the City Staff, who has done a magnifi- cant job in the recruitment of industry in the City, be relieved of some of this work and a full time competant secretary be hired who. is knowledgeable in this field, that can work with these potential industries and locate them in Pleasanton. r~r. Howard suggested that a sub-committee be formed to investigate this possibility.
