The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Councilmembers -Ayala, Brozosky, Campbell, Hosterman, and Mayor Pico NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None 5. MEETINGS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Ms. Ayala presented a proclamation to Mike Dutra proclaiming February 14, 2004 as "A Day for Hearts: Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Day." Other Speakers John Carroll, 2981 Moreno Avenue, addressed Council in opposition to the Stoneridge Drive to E1 Charo extension. He believed cut-through traffic is a major contributor to traffic congestion in Pleasanton. He referred to an article that was featured in the Pleasanton Weekly, which discussed a program entitled the "Combined Intensive Traffic Enforcement" and highlighted the City's most dangerous intersections. The Combined Intensive Traffic Enforcement Program earmarks dangerous intersections for stepped up enforcement. It was his understanding that the baseline traffic model did not include the West Las Positas interchange. He hoped Council would remove the Stoneridge Extension out of the baseline traffic model as well. Jerry Wagner, 6344 Alisal Street, disagreed with the State of City Address that was presented at the Ruby Hills Clubhouse. Ms. Hosterman requested that Mr. Wagner address Council in a civil manner and to refrain from attacking Council and staff. Mayor Pico pointed out that anyone addressing Council is asked and encouraged to comply with the Community of Character elements. While the comments made by Mr. Wagner are not encouraged, he believed everyone has the right to free speech, and he would not prohibit anyone from exercising his or her freedom of speech in this forum. There were no further speakers. Pleasanton City Council 3 02/03/04 Minutes
