<br />Brian Arkin a Pleasanton resident indicated he is in support of the Council's direction <br />and would like to understand what the legal standing of the MOU is. He believes there are <br />certain limitations. <br /> <br />Judith Gieiselman a Pleasanton resident felt compelled to applaud the Council for the <br />work that has been done on the MOU. She further voiced her concern regarding the possibility <br />of the extension of Stoneridge Drive. <br /> <br />David Bouchard representing the Board of the Pleasanton Chamber and a resident of <br />Pleasanton commended and congratulated the City in reaching this milestone agreement with <br />the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority. He further urged the Council to approve the <br />MOU, as it would enable the City to lose a valuable corporate citizen and the revenue the City's <br />general fund receives. Those funds allow the City to provide quality police and fire services, <br />parks and other amenities that make living in Pleasanton so desirable. He stated the MOU <br />preserves the right-of-way for the extension in perpetuity and is a critical point the Pleasanton <br />Chamber supports. <br /> <br />Mayor Hosterman closed the public comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Roush responded to Mr. Arkin's question regarding the legal standing of the MOU. <br />The document has legal standing and is the road map for the development. While Council has <br />full discretionary approval, there is an understanding that what will be processed is what has <br />been presented in the staff report. <br /> <br />It was moved by Mr. Thorne seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to authorize the City <br />Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding. <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern stated that in prior workshops concerning the continuing care facility the <br />Council informed them that the City had not agreed to 800 units and that the City wanted to <br />continue to work with them on affordability and other factors. She asked that if the MOU is <br />signed, have we agreed to the 800 units. <br /> <br />Mr. Fialho indicated the MOU stated up to 800 units. He further stated that the Council <br />is buying into the concept of the development plan and the City needs to meet the spirit of the <br />agreement with the County. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was taken as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne and Mayor <br />Hosterman <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAINED: None <br /> <br />A break was taken at 9:15 p.m. <br /> <br />The meeting reconvened at 9:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council <br />Minutes <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />04/18/06 <br />
