meetings and commitments regarding the road. At the last meeting, Council stated the property owner had the burden to provide the road. Mr. Close said the property owner told him it will never happen. He asked if it was common practice for the City to develop a project one mile from the nearest City maintained street. Does the City often create mile-long residential or commercial courts or cul de sacs, such as the one created by Tentative Tract Map 7372? Without a proper access to the project, Council should revoke Tentative Tract Map 7372. Bruce Torquemada, 3072 Alburni Court, indicated as much funding as possible is necessary for educating children and providing things like class size reduction, attracting top teachers, etc. He has been on the budget committee with the School District and referred to allocations for the motor pool. He believed it would be beneficial if the City and the District combined motor pool resources to save money. It is important to work together. He also felt personnel contracts negotiated two or three years ago should be revisited since the economic times have changed. Mayor Pico asked staffto respond to the above comments. Ms. McKeehan indicated the City does work with the District to share resources. She acknowledged that the City and District did share vehicle maintenance and she felt that could work again, but the District made the decision to separate. Staff is open to the possibility. There have been many examples over the last few years to work together. Regarding the New Cities project, there will be an agenda item in the near future, possibly March 4. The Summerhill project was denied by the Planning Commission and Council based on a staff recommendation for denial. There were no other speakers. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL (Due to the fact that two Councilmembers must abstain from the last agenda item, this portion of the agenda was moved forward.) Ms. Hosterman asked when staff would bring back the one issue raised in conjunction with raising the speed limits in various parts of town. Ms. McKeehan believed it would be some time in March. Mayor Pico urged staff to continue to work with the general contractor on the golf course, to make certain his crew adheres to speed limits and all the terms. Ms. McKeehan indicated when complaints are received, staff speaks to the contractor and has had very good response from the contractor. The Police Department has been working in the area to issue tickets. As often happens when a neighborhood requests police enforcement, it is the residents that are most often the violators and who are cited. Pleasanton City Council 4 02/04/03 Minutes
