Ms. Michclotti said that duc to the popularity of the ACE train there is a need of a <br />station for Pleasanton residents, which comprise one-third of the approximately 1500 <br />riders currently riding the train, <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver said that it appears that there is not a need for a Special City <br />Council meeting because there is enough information presently available to have staff <br />draft a letter to the Supervisors. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta said that staff would move forward with the drafting of the letter, <br />noting in the letter that it was put on Council Agerids as an urgency item. She asked <br />Council if it would like this added to the scope of work for the Task Force, making sure it <br />looked at the ACE train station. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico felt that was not necessary and that the Task Force should simply go <br />through the process as it is already set and he did not want to bias the outcome. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver stated that hc told Supervisor Hagerty that the station is on the list <br />mad will go through the process. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to direct staff to send a <br />letter to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, including that the Pleasanton <br />City Council added an urgency item to the agenda, and indicating the City of <br />Pleasanton has a process for determining the future public uses of the Bernal <br />Avenue property and it is the City's desire to keep the option of the ACE train <br />station available, and indicating the length of time the City of Pleasanton has <br />worked with the City of San Francisco in order for the City to receive substantial <br />acreage for public purposes; if the Board of Supervisors votes not to approve the tax <br />sharing agreement because of the ACE train station, the City of Pleasanton would <br />lose this opportunity. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Cotmcilmembers - Ayala.
