In response to an inquiry by Ms. Ayala, Mayor Pico indicated that he is a member of the liaison committee with the City of Livermore. He noted that the committee did not have a discussion on the General Plan and has not had a meeting with the City of Livermore for about three months. He informed her that the committee did meet earlier and talked about Pleasanton's request to have representation on the Livermore Airport Committee. Ms. Hosterman noted that she did not have an opportunity to read through the General Plan. She did read the staff report and the letter and believed the letter disclosed those issues that are most important to her and the City. She wondered what the City of Livermore's time constraints were and where they were in the process. She would like to take this opportunity to send the letter and ask both Mayor Pico and Councilmember Ayala to follow up with a liaison meeting. Mayor Pico noted that Livermore is currently on a short time frame and would like to get this General Plan approved and adopted prior to Pleasanton's next Council meeting. Councilmember Ayala concurred with Ms. Hosterman's comments. She noted she was particularly concerned about the airport issues. She believed there was a list established and asked if the residents who lived near the Livermore Airport had been noticed in the matter. Mr. Swit~ informed her that those residents were not noticed concerning this letter. Mayor Pico pointed out that at the last Liaison Committee meeting, they specifically talked about the airport issues and about Pleasanton obtaining a voice on Livermore's airport commission. He noted that Pleasanton submitted a formal request, and he followed up with the request by paying a formal visit. Since then, Livermore placed it on its agenda. He believed that when we discuss transportation issues, we would hear Livermore's concerns about what Pleasanton is doing to Livermore residents, for instance, issues around the metering lights and issues around the extension of Stoneridge Drive. It was moved by Mayor Pico, seconded by Councilmember Ayala, to approve and send the draft letter to include additional comments by Councilmember Campbell related to working jointly with the City of Livermore for the development of the Staples Ranch area; extending an invitation to the City of Livermore to participate in Pleasanton's General Plan process; and directing staff to schedule a liaison committee meeting for follow up in the matter.
