<br />7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern referred to an article in the local newspaper regarding the Tri-Valley <br />Business Council in which the Business Council appeared to support the Pardee Development. <br />She reminded the Mayor that she agreed with her in opposing this, as there was a question <br />about funding using taxpayers money. <br /> <br />Mayor Hosterman indicated she had a conversation with Mr. Tom O'Malley and that she <br />and the other two Tri-Valley Mayors as well staff was going to meet in the next several weeks to <br />have this discussion. <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern asked Council to support directing staff to review providing senior <br />discounted rates for recreation programs. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho indicated staff would satisfy this request by preparing a memo to Council and <br />Council could review it and then decide it if wanted to make it a Council item. <br /> <br />Council supported directing staff to prepare a memorandum to Council on the matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky inquired about the billing status of Signature Properties for its share of the <br />roadway improvements for the realigned Vineyard Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Roush said the reason Signature Properties had not been billed was because all of <br />the work for which it has responsibility has not been completed, which is the landscaping along <br />the northern side of the realigned Vineyard Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky believed Council might have made a different decision on how to expedite <br />the completion of the landscaping improvements, which is a significant amount of money to the <br />General Fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho suggested sending a progress payment to Signature Properties in an effort to <br />stay true to what its obligation is and also put them on record that it has a financial pro-rata <br />share obligation associated with the roadway. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky inquired about the time frame for completing the landscaping <br />improvements? <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho said 12 months. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan provided an updated report on the proposal by Hansen Aggregates to dig a <br />quarry betv-{een the Town of Sunol and Interstate 680. Hansen Aggregates has indicated that it <br />intends to begin excavation of the site over the holiday season. He indicated that he would <br />continue to monitor this matter, as he believed it was a regional issue that would impact <br />Pleasanton. <br /> <br />8.
