the School District to build the Neal Elementary, meet furore high school needs and other school facility requirements. He said he is bullish on Pleasanton for the long and short term. This is a great community and he is hopeful the District will be successful in getting all the Gilt Agreements in place and that we are going to find a way to cooperate with the District and development community to put in the infrastructure required for Neal Elementary. He is 100% committed to making that happen in 2003. We might have had a different scenario today if there had been a willingness to litigate the 1993 agreement, but that is past and should not be revisited. He was concerned that the Points of Agreement have not been completely carried out, but he felt that they would be given time. There really is not much choice at this point in time. He commended Ms. Ayala for her courage and diligence in continuing to pursue this issue for the community. He believed it was appropriate for her to try to get all her questions answered and felt it not only helped her but also the community and the City Council to understand the issues. Ms. Ayala said she had continued the item from the Consent Calendar because those issues are routine in nature and she felt everyone could agree that this agreement is anything but routine. She said she had been excited when the Points of Agreement were approved because that would give the community the facilities the School Board needed. She did not support the motion because the Points of Agreement have not been accomplished. All the pieces are not together and she had doubts the money would be available for the infrastructure. She did not mean any of her questions to be adversarial, but believed the public had the right to hear the answers to some of the questions asked in closed session. She said she would continue to work hard to help the School Board attain its goals.
