, Mr. Roush presented the staff reports. Mayor Hosterman mentioned that Ms. McGovern proposed an amendment to paragraph six of the Centex Agreement. Mr. Roush reminded Council that it had discussions with Granite Construction and RMC Lonestar about the Asphalt Plant being moved by the 2009 timeframe. The proposed amendment to paragraph six as proposed by Ms. McGovern provides that if the Plant was not relocated by 2009, the City would retain the $562,500 or the $500,000 and the Council at that time would revisit the issue and determine how these funds would be used. Staff supported the proposed amendment, which is dependent upon whether Council wants to make the decision now as to how these funds would be used or postpone it until a future time. Ms. McGovern noted that staff discussed with Council the Asphalt Plant and the idea of having it removed by 2009. If Council looked at the agreement with seven years it would continue to 2012 and she wanted to reiterate to Granite Construction and to everyone involved that Council believes the plant will be removed by 2009. To be consistent, she felt it was better to use the date of 2009. Mr. Roush said his rationale in stating that the relocation of the Plant would be within seven years was because if for some reason the negotiations took longer to relocate the Plant, the funds would still be available at that time for relocation purposes. Ms. McGovern believed that if the Plant was not removed by December 2009, whatever Council is seated should be addressing this issue. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mr. Fialho said if the waiver is granted, $562,500 goes towards the relocation of the Asphalt Plant and the $500,000, which was the contribution from Centex Homes, would be dedicated to energy efficiency projects. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mr. Roush said if the State waives the $562,500 then this amount would be dedicated towards the relocation costs and the $500,000 would be used by Centex Homes to install energy efficiencies within its homes within Tract 7385. Mr. Brozosky was comfortable with the proposed amendment to paragraph six. He wanted to make sure that if the City is collecting funds for mitigations in this area that these funds be used specifically for mitigations and not pulled away while the City is in negotiations with whoever owns the property at that point. Mr. Roush said the Council in December 2009 could determine to retain the funds for relocation purposes or dedicate it towards energy efficiency projects somewhere, or dedicate it towards other improvements in the Vineyard area. Ms. McGovern was hopeful that by January 31, 2006, Council would know if the waiver was approved. If the waiver were not approved, the $500,000 would be what Centex's contribution would be to move the asphalt plant. She was trying to give Council the most flexibility. She would prefer to use the $500,000 for energy efficiencies and Tract 7385 housing as soon as possible. Pleasanton City Council 21 08/16/05 Minutes
