<br />pointed out the improvements mentioned in the staff report for Lions Wayside Park did not get <br />into the detail as reflected in the Downtown Specific Plan as the costs would be greater. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho clarified that what he was suggesting was that Council review its list of CIP <br />projects and determine what projects could be done with the $5 million that is currently allocated <br />and determine what projects could be cancelled to fund the difference. <br /> <br />In reading the staff report, Ms. McGovern said she was under the impression that there <br />are plazas and different ways that Lions Wayside Park is to connect to the Firehouse Arts <br />Theater, which are the areas she was concerned about having completed when the Theater <br />opens. <br /> <br />6c <br />ODtions for counting housing units within the continuing care retirement community <br />DroDOsed for StaDles Ranch.

MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL <br /> <br />Mayor Hosterman referenced a letter that staff provided to Council regarding the US <br />Conference of Mayors' action at its June 2005 conference to unanimously endorsed the US <br />Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement in addition to another climate agreement. She requested <br />Council support to agendize discussion and possible support of the US Conference of Mayors' <br />Climate Protection Agreement in an effort to curb global warming. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mayor Hosterman said concurrently, the <br />State of California has a Global Warming Action Plan and the Governor is taking comments on <br />the draft report through January 31, 2006, which might be another opportunity for the City to <br />weigh in on this important matter. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky asked if would make sense to wait and see how the State's Global <br />Warming Action Plan might effect the City? <br /> <br />Mayor Hosterman said no. <br /> <br />Mr. Brozosky believed there was something the City could do related to greenhouse <br />effects and the largest contributing factor would be for the City to do a better job in reducing the <br />delays associated with the traffic lights which would reduce the greenhouse effect and provide a <br />benefit to the entire City that would be visible. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council <br />Minutes <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />01/17/06 <br />
