<br />Planning Commissions. The language was not clear and it would lead someone to believe that <br />staff was requesting a moratorium and that was not what staff was suggesting. The intent of the <br />staff report is reflective of Mr. Sullivan's comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky withdrew his substitute motion. <br /> <br />If staff returned to Council in 90 days or more and it appeared the City needed to place <br />condominium conversions on hold, as it does effect the City's General Plan and what the City is <br />looking to build into the plan versus the City's Housing Element, could Council at that time put <br />condominium conversions on hold? <br /> <br />Mr. Bocian said yes. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was taken as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, and <br />Mayor Hosterman <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAINED: None <br /> <br />There was a break taken at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br />The meeting reconvened at 9:44 p.m. <br /> <br />6b. ADDroval of CooDerative Funding Agreement with the City of Dublin and East Bav <br />Regional Park District for the Alamo Canal Trail Feasibility Study. CIP 0470201SR 05:229\ <br /> <br />Jim Wolfe, Director of Parks and Community Services, presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Thorne originally requested this item be which allowed him the opportunity to discuss <br />this matter with staff. He receives frequent feed back from the community that Council tends to <br />spend a significant amount of money studying potential projects. The amount of money that <br />was indicated for the study and the one-year time line concerned him. He asked if this was <br />correct. <br /> <br />Mr. Wolfe said it was not correct. Under the agreement with Alameda County <br />Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIAl, the study should be completed and the results <br />in by June of 2006. One of the main components of why there is value in conducting the study <br />is because the City does is not aware of the cost implications for making this trail connection, <br />and in order for the City to look at alternative funding sources whether they be ACTIA or state <br />grants, there is no project until the costs are known and the City deals with environmental <br />issues. <br /> <br />Mr. Thorne asked if the City would have an opportunity to apply for Proposition 50 <br />funds? <br /> <br />Mr. Wolfe believed this project would be eligible for Proposition 50 funds. There is <br />approximately $100 million dollars that is set aside and the first release of funds would be <br />approximately $40.5 million dollars. Since staff does not have the environmental work <br />completed for this project or a cost estimate, staff hopes to apply for these funds in the future. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council <br />Minutes <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />09/20/05 <br />
