Ms. Dennis asked if it was possible at a later time to put both plans that the cotra'nunity has worked on onto the ballot for choice between the two. Mr. Swift said City Council has that decision that it could make at any time up until the point when Council actually approves the plan. The development agreement would limit the ability to do that. Council could do it at any time. He said that the logical time in this process would be once the project gets before Council, lfat that time it is felt it should bc on the ballot, Council could do so. Mayor Tarver said City Council needs to address this iramediately because otherwise there is no opportunity to get it on the November ballot. Mr. Roush said if Council were to put something on the ballot, action would need to be taken by August l0th. Mayor Tarver said that if Council wanted to have a public hearing as to whether or not to put this omo the bailot and make a decision, it needs to be agendized for August 10th. All of the material needs to be ready, because what needs to be submitted must be completed by August 11lh.

San Francisco has not asked Pleasanton to continue processing that application and we do not have an application to vote on or to even process. He said he is not aLLre it would be possible to have an advisory measure that might be put onto the November ballot. An advisory measure might give Council feedback from the contmunity. That would be taking a risk with San Francisco that it might not agree and Ihen it could withdraw from this whole process. The other factor to consider is that Omenbriar might just walk away. He said Council would be taking a significant risk. To defer any kind of a vote on this or to have a referendum that would delay any decision until sometime in the spring of 2001 would probably kill this opportunity. He said he would not have a problem in getting some feedback from the community through the ballot, understanding tlmt there is a risk involved. The final approval cotrid be right allcr the election. Ms. Michelotti said if Council is going to start talking about what kind of plan that is going to take place, then perhaps there should be something that is in between. She said that maybe there should be something that shows giving the City a golf course Pleasanton cily council 14 08/01/00 Minutes
