<br />Other Speakers
<br />
<br /> Barbara Thomas, 1141 Catalina #137, Livermore, thanked Council for proclaiming
<br />Hunger Awareness Week at its last meeting. She noted the Th-Valley Hunger Coalition, which
<br />is composed of the Interfaith Sharing, Tri-Valley Haven, St. Vincent de Paul and the Road
<br />Runner Project. Open Heart Kitchen is the agency that provides hot meals. All these
<br />organizations need storage facilities and she asked the community to help them find about 3,000
<br />sq. ft. of empty warehouse space.
<br />
<br /> Clive Schliewe, 6330 Laura Lane, noted a fire in the Happy Valley area last Saturday,
<br />which he felt was further reason for the City to proceed with the bypass road as soon as possible.
<br />He also spoke against a community park in Happy Valley because of the additional traffic. He
<br />noted the dry grasses and other vegetation in the Happy Valley and expressed concerns about
<br />fires. He appreciated the verbal commitment to a bypass road, but felt that was not enough. He
<br />believed the temporary access to the golf course could last for ten or more years and urged
<br />Council to set a date to commence construction on the bypass road.
<br />
<br /> Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore Road, commented about three newspaper articles.
<br />First she noted Pleasanton's failure to get a representative on the Livermore Airport
<br />Commission. She indicated the residents on the east side of Pleasanton could attend the
<br />
<br />Pleasanton City Council 5 07/15/03
