gathering a set number of individual $5.00 contributions and agreeing not to accept any private money. Funding originates from a special source and not from an appropriation out of the General Fund. In California, it is estimated that the cost would be about one cent per resident over age eighteen, per day. He noted his concern with the increase of tax spending that is occurring :in Pleasanton. On behalf of the California Clean Money Campaign, he asked that candidates for local office agree on spending limits for their election campaigns and full disclosure. He asked Council to consider closing the loopholes in Pleasanton's code, including adding spending limits, prohibiting bundling, disclosing contributions by persons appearing before the Council, requiring electronic filing, and posting contributions as they occur. He also requested that Council publicly endorse public campaign financing either individually or as a body. As it pertained to agenda item 4u, Mr. Brozosky asked why candidates were charged to file to mn for local office? He would like to encourage citizens to serve this community and believed it was expensive to mn a campaign. He would be in favor of waiving the filing fee and not requiring it. Ms. Ayala concurred with Mr. Brozosky's comments. She pointed out that Council needed to take action to reduce the filing fee from the previously approved $731 to $240. Mayor Pico believed it would be appropriate to discuss this matter at a furore meeting for a future election. Because this was added as an urgency item without any public notice, it would be more appropriate to leave this agenda item, as it is to allow for public comment. Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore Road, noted that agenda item 4e was a Preannexation Agreement that Ken Larson agreed to in order to access City services. She was concerned with Condition Two as noted in the agreement, as it required Mr. Larson to give up his right to speak against or for annexation. In order to access sewer and water, Mr. Larson must agree to vote in favor of annexation, which she strongly opposed. Mr. Brozosky, asked il! staff's recommendation as it pertained to agenda item 4f, approval of logo for the Callippe Preserve Golf Course, accepts the recommendation of the Golf Course Committee? Jim Wolfe said that the staff's recommendation approves the Golf Course Committee's recommendation that the wording "Golf Course" be added to the logo. He pointed out that the Parks and Recreation Commission also supported this recommendation. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Hosterman, that the following actions under the Consent Calendar be taken, with the removal of agenda items 4n, the addition of items 4t and 4u, and the appeal of PDR-338, WaIMart by Ms. Hosterman, as noted in agenda item 4b (Supplemental).
