Ms. Acosta indicated as soon as the Planning Commission completes its review. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked for discussion about the amount of time allowed for <br />"Meeting Open to the Public". There is a time limit for individual speakers, but how long <br />do we allow that portion of the agenda to go on? There have been times, especially near <br />an election, when a large portion of the meeting is taken up at the expense of the rest of <br />the agenda. If action is to be taken, it needs to be taken soon. She would be open to <br />discussing it at a priorities workshop rather than agendizing the matter if the Council <br />agreed. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala had no problem with discussing this at a workshop. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said he had tried to do something about that, but felt it was a public <br />process that just had to be done. <br /> <br /> There was consensus to include this for discussion at the next Council priorities <br />workshop. <br /> <br />Ms. Dennis asked the date of the PUC hearing on the PG&E project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said it had not been set. Staff is meeting with PG&E to hear alternatives <br />to the preferred route and the reasoning for selection of the preferred route. <br /> <br />Mayor Tarver asked about the plastic cover on the pathway at Kottinger Park. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said the work is complete and believed the plastic must have been <br />related to the concrete work that was done. He would check. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked for a letter to the Govemor regarding cities keeping <br />redevelopment money for low income housing. The Governor did not appear to approve <br />giving money back to cities unless conditions were imposed. The message needs to be <br />sent that cities do not appreciate his demeaning what local government does and the <br />values served. Cities have given the State a lot of money to subsidize its budget and <br />would like to have it back. There is a $6 billion surplus from cities' property taxes and <br />that should come back to the cities. The State takes the money and still expects the cities <br />to provide affordable housing, traffic improvements, etc. <br /> <br />Ms. Acosta said Pleasanton has contributed $27 million. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver believed Second Street was a disaster and requested an update on <br />the paving schedule. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said Third Street is in the next fiscal year budget and Second Street is in <br />the following year. He acknowledged it does need work. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 21 01 / 18/00 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
