fees will be paid for by the City. However, the City has no money for that purpose. The only money for the infrastructure or bypass road will have to come from the developers of several projects densities will have to be adopted to get the money. People can forget about the City waiving hook up fees or paying for the labor and material to get the sewer and water to their house. Kevin Close, 871 Sycamore Road, discussed the Happy Valley Specific Plan Area, Alisal Street, the bypass road, New Cities Development, and the Ferma well site. Alisal Street has been tom up by construction, and since the last City Council meeting there has been no work done on the street. It is still weeks away from completion. He also discovered that Sanco Pipeline has pulled all of their employees and equipment from the worksite and moved to another project. The response from City staff is that this is due to the contractor waiting for materials. He could not understand this timing. The New Cities project and continuation of the east/west collector has now been continued for another two weeks, after staff and the speakers have voiced approval of the project. The continuation is due to some of the councilmembers trying to extract more money out of a project that has already been approved. This will be discussed further at the next City Council meeting. Ferma has drilled a test well for possible construction water use. He received the construction water plan requested a month ago on the golf course project. The revised plan dated 3/17/03 does still list the off site well for possible construction water. This is a 400 foot drilled well on the Wentworth property. In the City specifications no wells were allowed to be drilled on the golf course property. There is continued disregard for the community in which the City is placing its development. The traffic circulation plan and community water does not belong to the City of Pleasanton. Vince Barletta, 6290 Laura Lane, urged Council to reconsider the water and sewer infrastructure on the side roads. There is a problem of running out of water on Alisal and those who live on side roads will be several hundred feet away from fire hydrants, which presents a safety problem. He urged this is not just about water for drinking and sewer, but his key concern is having water to fight a fire. This is a necessity and a safety issue. He urged using New Cities Development money to accomplish this. The roads look somewhat better than they did at the last council meeting, but they still are in terrible shape. 6.
