Ms. Michelotti indicated she lives in a permit parking area and there is an enforcement issue. There was a break at 8:55 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:07 p.m. Item 6c AOOroval of Plans and SOeci~cations and Authorization to call for Bids for Pleasanton Snorts Park Pathway Lighting, Project No. 987063 (SR 00:014) James W. Wolfe presented the staff report. Ms. Ayala referred to a comment in the staff report about lights shining in a resident's bedroom and living room windows and asked if that would happen. Mike Fulford said no. The proposed lights are sharp, cut-off luminaires and that should not happen. The light poles on the south side are only twelve feet tall and a good distance from the closest homes. He also indicated a glare shield would be added on the residential side. Ms. Dennis indicated she came from the East and believed that lights were a benefit to public safety Tim Neal agreed and said that is the Police Department's position. When an area is visible from the street, those persons with criminal intentions know there could be witnesses and he agreed lighted places are safer. He said on the nights when there is adult softball, small children tend to wander around the park. Many things have been done to mitigate the concerns and the lights would help a lot. Ms. Ayala asked if the proposed lights would help people using the meeting room at the softball complex. Mr. Wolfe said no, but it would help them going to their cars. Ms. Michelotti asked when the lights go out at the softball complex. Mr. Wolfe said at approximately 10:30 p.m. Ms. Michelotti asked whether the low bollard lighting or higher lighting is better from a safety aspect. ChiefNeal said higher is better. Kids ride bikes and skateboards in the area and if one fell off, it would be safer having a higher pole. He also said the higher lighting would be less likely to be vandalized.
