concerned. The City's interest is in cost containment and methods for delivery of services to the community. The primary issues of the City with the firefighters are to find ways to modify methods of paying overtime and for procedures for filling vacancies. Staff has counter-proposals ready for the Firefighters Association and staff will be meeting to exchange those proposals. She did not believe negotiations were at impasse. When impasse is reached, there are specific procedures for dealing with that. Appearing in front of the Council is not one of them. Angelina Summers, 4750 Sutter Gate Avenue, objected to the continuance of the decision on the traffic light at Main/Neal/Rose Avenues. She believed her input was as important as the store owners. June Duncan, 617 Angela Street, raised three points: established neighborhoods should be protected equally; there are ten times as many children in Old Town and at the foot of Angela Street than there are in the Mirador neighborhood; quality of life in all three neighborhoods should be preserved by equal use of all streets; Angela Street has been a cut-through street for thirty years and Old Town has been used for ten years; the majority have already cornpromised for years and it is time that all neighbors and children share equally in the streets that get people in and out of Pleasanton Heights. She urged Council to open Mindor Drive with no restrictions as soon as possible. Pat Murray, Mirador Drive, objected to this debate going so far tonight until all people have been notified. Wilson Powell, 678 Everett Drive, Danville, referred to Penal Code § 832.5, which requires a police department to have written complaint procedures and requested a copy of the procedures for Pleasanton. He indicated Pleasanton had not responded to a survey sent by the ACLU regarding complaint procedures. Ms. Acosta responded that the issue with Mr. Powell has never been what the complaint process is. Pleasanton does have formal written procedures which are available to any citizen. Staff has not responded to Mr. Powell's letters because the City is still in litigation with Mr. Powell. At this point, a Barbershop Quartet sang in honor of the City Manager's birthday and Mayor Tarver read a proclamation for her 40th birthday. 10/04/94 - 4 -
