Ms. Michelotti asked if there were still dentonstraf~on light poles available. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fulford said the City owns six poles. These are similar to the poles at other <br />parks in the City, such as Valley Trails or Sutter Gate Park. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala asked if complaints were received from any of these other parks. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wolfe said no. He related that staffhad just completed renovation of <br />Fairlands Park and the neighbors did not want pathway lights; but later came back and <br />asked for the lights to be installed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis indicated she had seen improvements in her neighborhood with the <br />new lights at the Upper Field and has not received complaints from the Valley Trails <br />area. She did not like having dark pathways and supported the lighting. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti supported the pathway lighting and toning down the field lights. <br />She considered continuing the matter for two weeks to have further discussion with the <br />neighbors. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala did not want this to go on and on. She believed Council represented all <br />of Pleasanton and consideration should be given to changing lifestyles. She reiterated her <br />request for assurance that these are the best lights available for lighting only the path. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to approve the plans <br />and specifications for the Pleasanton Sports Park pathway lighting, Project No. <br />987063 and authorize staff to call for bids, with the understanding that shields will <br />be installed on all lights; consideration will be given to planting trees in affected <br />areas, all objections will be included in the minutes, and directing staff to work with <br />residents regarding location of the light poles. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver believed Council should adhere to past assurances to the <br />neighborhood made by other Councils. He encouraged Ms. Michelotti to see the lights <br />and talk with the neighbors before making a decision to approve the lights. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti indicated she would support the motion, but would look at the <br />lights and if she finds it is not what she expected, she would ask for reconsideration of the <br />motion at the next Council meeting. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis and Michelotti <br />NOES: Mayor Tarver <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Pico <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 16 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />01/18/00 <br /> <br /> <br />
