Mayor Pict said no. His motion was basically staff's recommendation with the <br />modification of postponing the in-lieu park dedication fees until January 2005. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman said she would like to have the opportunity to understand the <br />evolution of the numbers and where the developer is today and why. To get that kind of <br />input and make this decision in a few moments time is unfair. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala pointed out that a different Council made the decision regarding the <br />amount of the in-lieu park dedication fees years ago. She believed that all Council was <br />doing was asking the developer to live by the conditions it accepted at the time. <br /> <br /> A substitute motion was made by Mr. Brozosky, seconded by Ms. <br />Hosterman, to postpone $1,370,668 of in-lieu park dedication fees for the <br />Ponderosa/Busch affordable senior apartment project until January 2005, and to <br />allow the developer to come back to Council within the next two months with a <br />request for reduction of the fees. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said she would not be supporting the motion, as she believed that <br />Council was postponing the inevitable. She believed a decision needed to be made, which <br />is what Council was elected to do. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky called for the question. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was taken as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, Hosterman and Mayor Pict <br />NOES: Couneilmember Ayala <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Campbell <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL <br /> <br /> Mayor Pict requested support to present a proclamation at Council's next meeting <br />to Brian Blank honoring June 14, 2004 as Flag Day in Pleasanton, recognizing Brian's <br />Eagle Scout project, and encouraging people in the community to participate. Council <br />agreed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky requested reconsideration of Council's decision at its last meeting <br />to authorize the request for proposal for the fabrication and the installation of the City <br />gateway signage. He was having second thoughts on spending $90,000. He was not sure <br />if there would be enough support for Council to reconsider it. <br /> <br />Mayor Pict did not have any interest in reconsidering the matter. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala indicated that she had voted against the motion and it was for the <br />reason of spending that amount of money. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 16 <br />Minutes <br /> <br />05/04/04 <br /> <br /> <br />
