Mr. Lure said if the annexation election fails, construction could not proceed this season. Staff would bring back other annexation proposals and other ways to proceed with the project if the Council so desires. Ms. McKeehan indicated staffhas identified other annexation options. The issue is that the City would have to reapply to the Local Agency Formation Commission. That would involve losing more time. Ms. Michelotti said she asked the question because the lack of the bypass road seems to be an issue. Mr. Lum proceeded with the remainder of the staff report. Bob Silva, Vice Chair of the Golf Committee, supported the staffrecommendations. He pointed out that this committee was established in February 1997 and was to serve for about a year. Five years later the committee is still together. He recognized the members of the Committee and their various contributions. The committee has worked with staff on interviewing consultants, reviewing the various designs, and financing plans. He pointed out the committee was charged with dealing with the golf course and related facilities. It is not there for land planning or other annexation issues. He again urged Council to support the staff recommendations and to go forward with the design of the course in order to determine the real costs of the golf course. He believed the golf course will meet the goals of the General Plan of the City of Pleasanton and the Happy Valley Specific Plan as well as maintain the open space the citizens desire to have in the south side of the City. Mayor Pico asked staff if it would provide an in depth analysis of at least one annexation alternative and what impacts that would have on the golf course, its costs, the infrastructure, etc. before March 2002, so Council would have the information available for discussions with the Happy Valley residents and so they know what course the Council could pursue if the annexation is not successful. Ms. McKeehan indicated staffhas given a great deal of thought to that and would present the options that were most prudent. Ms. Michelotti asked if the $83,014 was part of the $1 million in additional costs? Mr. Lum said that was in addition to the $1 million. Mr. Campbell asked if the annexation election would be decided by a simple majority? Mr. Lum said yes. Ms. Dennis referred to the market analysis, which is based on 61,000 rounds of golf, and asked if there was a maximum number of rounds. Mr. Lure said the capacity of the course is much more than that. Pleasanton City Council 17 Minutes 10/02/01
