Ms. Ayala acknowledged insurance rates in California are a problem. She would bring this up later in the meeting to request an agenda item at a later meeting. Mike Duarte, 6665 Singletree Way, felt there were positive aspects of the Patriot Act, especially in Florida, Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania. He felt if the attacks had occurred in San Francisco or Oakland, there would be a different attitude towards the Patriot Act. He noted Council comments that it was a bad law, and felt sometimes bad laws occur locally as well. He felt the resolution asking representatives to monitor the Patriot Act and repeal unconstitutional portions was not a proper action, since the agenda item only referred to the Patriot Act effects on the library operations and not the city as a whole. He felt the public did not have an opportunity to discuss the item. He felt Council was inconsistent with regard to individual's constitutional rights. He objected to the teen alcohol ordinance because it allowed searches without warrants. He did not understand how Council could reconcile its vote on the teen drinking law and its action regarding the Patriot Act. He wanted Council do deal with local issues and leave national issues to the federal government. There were no ful~her speakers. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS Item 6a Consideration of membership on the Board of Directors of Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) (SR 03:172) Michael Roush presented the staff report. Ms. Ayala felt this process was worthwhile no matter how long it takes. She serves on the LAVWMA Board, which is a consortium of Pleasanton, Livermore and DSRSD. She believed that agency will one day be dissolved when the sewer line is completed. She has seen many instances while on the LAVWMA Board why membership on the DSRSD Board was essential for solving problems before they start. Because of changes on the DSRSD Board, she hoped the Board would support Pleasanton's request for the membership process. Mr. Brozosky did not see any negative aspect to at least talking to DSRSD about this. Ms. McKeehan indicated this issue has been raised before and can be discussed again to see what happens. Ms. Hosterman was concerned that Pleasanton has no representation on this regional board and wanted to pursue this discussion. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Hosterman, to direct the Council representatives to discuss this with the DSRSD representatives at the Liaison Committee.
