Ms. Hosterman noted that she had quite a few questions related to the design test concept and specific questions related to how the design competition should move forward. She would like to be given the opportunity to voice these concerns. Ms. Ayala wondered if a discussion could be held at another Council meeting for additional input to staff?. Having read the staff report, Ms. Hosterman again stated that she would have liked to have the opportunity to ask questions of staff to flush out with Council her concerns and be a part of the discussion. Mr. Brozosky pointed out that several workshops were held and at the last workshop on the Bernal property, Council had a discussion on the design competition. It was discussed at length that a motion could not then be taken. At that point, he believed there was consensus by Council to conduct a design competition and staff was directed to put together the procedures for a design competition. Ms. Hosterman believed Council had reached enough interest, collectively, to request staff to put together the procedures for how a design competition could work. She has been waiting for that oppommity to ask her many questions. Mr. Campbell noted that the final decision was not made until several weeks ago and even though staff was provided direction at the workshop, the direction was not binding. Mr. Brozosky was trying to figure out what had changed since that time. He believed the staffreport disclosed the procedures for a design competition and not the concept of it. ' Mr. Campbell asked what his role in the reconsideration was as he voted in opposition to hold a design competition and in the affirmative for the other motion. Mr. Roush indicated that Mayor Pico made a motion for reconsideration. Ms. Hosterman seconded that motion. Because there is a motion on the floor, it did not matter how one councilmember voted on the item before. Council may now vote whether to reconsider the matter. Ms. McKeehan pointed out that Mr. Campbell would not have been allowed to ask for reconsideration of the matter because he did not vote with the majority in favor of the motion. As a result of the action taken by Council on December 2, 2003, Mayor Pico indicated that it was his understanding that staff was going to proceed with recommending a consultant to assist in creating the design competition procedures. He asked if this would come back to Council for action, and if so, when? Pleasanton City Council 7 01/06/04 Minutes
