Ms. Michelotti asked what the timing was for placing this before the people. Why does it have to be in March? Mr. Pico felt DSRSD is doing a major public information campaign and he thinks the people of Pleasanton should have an opportunity to voice their position on this. That would give direction to staff and Council on whether they should continue to oppose this to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. He felt it was important to do this on a timely basis. Mayor Tarver agreed and was concemed about what actions may be taken or what someone would say survey results were. There is nothing better than an election to clarify. positions. Ms. Dennis asked what actions were necessary other than selecting ballot language? Mr. Roush said there would be subsequent actions regarding ballot arguments, etc. Staff would attempt to develop a neutral statement in terms of what the reverse osmosis injection project is so that when people look at their voter information there will be more information. Ms. Michelotti would have preferred more opportunity to discuss this before putting an item on the ballot. Ms. Dennis asked when arguments would be due. Mr. Roush estimated about December 17 and 27 for the direct and rebuttal arguments. Ms. Acosta said staffs understanding is that the Water Quality Control Board has said it will not support this project unless there is public support. Ms. Michelotti wanted Council to discuss the request from the residents of The Preserve. She was not in favor of installing a gate. Council has opposed gated communities over the last few years. It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to direct staff to have the Traffic Committee review this issue with the neighborhood and determine whether there are other solutions, such as traffic calming solutions. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Ayala. Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Pleasanton City Council 14 11/02/99 Minutes
