The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Council members McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, and Mayor Hosterman NOES: Councilmember Brozosky ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Mr. Thorne said he could accept the definitions as a working draft so long as it is clear the citizens of Pleasanton are not being classified as cut-through. Ms. McGovern accepted the working draft but reiterated her desire to have some changes. It was moved by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Thorne, to adopt Alternative B as a working draft, subject to modification as part of the future land use and traffic circulation element workshops to occur in the future. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Council members Sullivan, Thorne and Mayor Hosterman NOES: Council members Brozosky and McGovern ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Ms. McGovern did not support the motion because she preferred Alternative A with the addition of some things from B. She did not want to run traffic models, which include things like Rose Avenue that will not be constructed. She believed all the traffic models shown at the meeting dealt with Alternative A and not B. Mr. Brozosky agreed all the modeling was for Alternative A and he did not have enough information. Staff presented many options and he would like to start with A, discuss land use and then see what other options can be applied to mitigate impacts. He felt it was harder to get rid of things than to add things. Ms. Hosterman supported the motion because it is the best opportunity to put everything on the table and thoroughly understand options before removing anything. She acknowledged there are improvements that will never happen like the Rose Avenue extension. Mr. Brozosky asked why she did not support Alternative C, since she wanted everything on the table? Mr. Hosterman replied that it was important to understand the Stoneridge Drive extension and West Las Positas interchange, and to share that information with the neighboring cities. In the spring, when it is known those projects will have an impact, discussions can then be had with regard to mitigations. Ms. McGovern pointed out that Alternative B did not include the Stone ridge Drive extension and West Las Positas interchange. Mr. Fialho assumed the Mayor was talking about modeling the 1996 General Plan. Council selected a working draft tonight and at the end of the process it would be compared to the 1996 General Plan in order to make an informed decision.
