(SR 01:056) <br /> <br /> Randy Lum introduced Jeff Knowles, the newly hired Traffic Engineer, who will <br />replace retiring Bill van Gelder. <br /> <br />Bill van Gelder presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala was surprised at the remarks of Mr. Haggerty in the newspaper and <br />asked if there had been any discussions between staff and his office. <br /> <br /> Mr. van Gelder said there had been many discussions with County representatives <br />over time to resolve various problems. The County suggested opening the gate or <br />opening another driveway into the facility. The critical problem is the funding of any <br />solutions. The Congestion Management Agency (CMA) provides board members to <br />ACE and it does not have a lot of money. CMA is looking to cities to provide parking. <br />There has been external help for parking in other cities. It is possible to get assistance in <br />funding, but we need a plan before we can seek fimding. <br /> <br /> Erlene DeMarcus, representing Supervisor Scott Haggerty, who is chairing the <br />ACE Board. She said she was involved with the ACE train many years ago, when no one <br />thought it would be a success. It has proven itself to be vital to the community and <br />carries 700 riders a day. The Bernal site was selected as a temporary site. We need to <br />find a permanent station site and have it be part of the community. She believed <br />Livermore got funding from the State for its station. Supervisor Haggerty looks forward <br />to working with the City and with ACE on a relocation plan. You need a plan before you <br />find apply for funding. <br /> <br /> Mr. van Gelder felt it was critical to have a plan supported by the governmental <br />agencies. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 23 03/20/01 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
