helpful, but he did not want staff to spend any time on this until the initiatives are placed <br />on the ballot. There is enough time between now and November to get the necessary <br />information. He felt it was important to have an open forum with the community and to <br />make certain an unbiased analysis is available. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarver, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to approve the <br />City Council priorities for 2000-01 as set forth on the list in the staff report, except <br />for the open space/agriculture initiative study. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis indicated she has read the Sierra Club initiative and has been working <br />on the open space committee for the Tri-Valley Vision.

The Sierra <br />Club initiative has an impact on agricultural viability. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if consideration could be given to an open forum workshop <br />for the public to present questions for discussion. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said the League of Women Voters provides that as well as the <br />community access television station. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said she supported the Tri-Valley Vision project, but she did not <br />what to take staff time to analyze this. There needs to be another way to get the <br />information out. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mayor Tarver, to remove this from <br />the priorities list. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Ayala, Michelotti and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: Councilmembers Dennis and Pico <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala indicated she has also read the Sierra Club initiative and the <br />information sent to the Board of Supervisors by the Tri-Valley Vision project and she is <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 13 04/18/00 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
