Mayor Pico said there are directions to staff for negotiation and he felt there would be <br />more leverage with an official vote. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman was concerned with having one portion of the metering project in place <br />without all the other portions and the ability to measure its success. She asked if the 580 on <br />ramp metering were turned on in the three locations, would it be possible to determine its <br />effectiveness without all the other parts that have been discussed recently. <br /> <br /> Mr. Knowles indicated the model shows improvements to traffic flow on city streets from <br />on ramp metering even without the Sunol Boulevard metering. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala had not supported the motion because she believed the best approach was to <br />mm on meters in all cities at the same time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky felt that may be the best way, but he was in favor of trying it beforehand in <br />Pleasanton. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Campbell to authorize staffto meter traffic on Bernal Avenue, <br />Stoneridge Drive, and Owens Drive for one month during the initial activation of the on= <br />ramp metering system. <br /> <br />The motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Item 6d <br />Ratify Council appointments and consider providing priorities to the Pleasanton Energy <br />Advisory Group and modifying the name of the Pleasanton Enerk, y Advisory Group. <br />(SR 03:038) <br /> <br />Councilmember Hosterman presented a brief overview 0fthe staff report. <br /> <br /> Each Councilmember announced their appointee and described their <br />appointees'qualifications for being on the committee. <br /> <br /> Matt Sullivan, 7882 Flagstone Drive, member of the Energy Advisory Group, indicated <br />he supported the recommendations in the staff report. The best chance for implementing <br />meaningful energy policies is for the Council to take a stand on the kinds of programs it wants to <br />establish in Pleasanton. He felt Ms. Hosterman and staffhad done an excellent job in presenting <br />the priority projects and he urged Council to adopt those as direction to the Committee. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell asked if the Committee would be limited to the direction to be given by <br />Council or can it go beyond those listed. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan replied that any advisory group has that ability, but this sets the goals and <br />priorities. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 25 02/18/03 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
