very low income Pleasanton residents. In addition, the sale of the Auf de Maur property <br />to the City as well as the renovation of Pleasanton Gardens and Kottinger Place should be <br />listed as affordable housing priorities. It was the Citizens for a Caring Community hope <br />that Council would correct these oversights so that Pleasanton may enter the new <br />planning period in compliance with state law and heed in a progressive direction with <br />respect to affordable housing. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico noted that the housing element update is part of the General Plan <br />process. This matter has been rated as a high priority. <br /> <br />Mayor Pico closed the public testimony. <br /> <br />Council reviewed the list of potential new projects that were not ranked. <br /> <br /> Vineyard Site: Mayor Pico and Councilmember Hosterman changed their priority <br />ranking to from a Highest Priority to a High Priority. <br /> <br /> City Manager Recruitment: Council placed the City Manager recruitment as a <br />Highest Priority. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico said that he added the priority of team building with the new Council <br />and City Manager. He believed this would be important and should be one of the highest <br />priorities set for the next year after the new City Manager has been hired and a new <br />Council is in place. This would help to strengthen the relationship between Council and <br />the new City Manager. <br /> <br /> Councilmembers Brozosky and Ayala believed it was difficult for this Council to <br />be making decisions for a new Council. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hosterman pointed out that a new Council would be looking at reprioritizing <br />these priorities. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico and Councilmembers Campbell and Hosterman ranked the priority of <br />team building with the new City Council and new City Manager as a Highest Priority. <br />Councilmembers Ayala and Brozosky ranked this priority as Not a Priority Project. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said that she added the priority of a fiscal watch. She believed that the <br />State of California would be on a fiscal watch for some time. She was concerned about <br />the State retirement programs. She believed that this should be a highest priority and the <br />City, financially, should be looking at retirement programs and put into place programs <br />that are sustainable into the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky concurred with Ms. Ayala's comments. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico believed that the City has always remained fiscally conservative. He <br />did not support placing this item as a highest priority. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 10 06/01/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
