added his intent is to provide this community with a balanced infrastructure and a balanced flow of traffic within the City. Councilmember Cook-Kallio indicated she sees a real danger in breaking this up into parts. She noted if you look at the map of Hybrid Alternative 1 there is a chunk missing. She also stated it is counterproductive to second-guess what should be municipal decisions. She added it appears to her that State Route 84 and the Pigeon Pass area is essential to the management of traffic in this region in the long run, and most importantly, in the short term. She indicated that whatever decision is made regarding the Stoneridge extension or any other decision should be made on evidence and data. She indicated her support for the letter and to have everyone sit at the table again to come to consensus. Mayor Hosterman asked for Council consensus regarding the request to have the city managers meet prior to the PAC meeting again. Councilmembers Cook-Kallio and Thorne indicated their support. Councilmember Sullivan commented the outcome is very disappointing to him because of the anticipation about this process for so long. This is not the best decision from a regional transportation standpoint - it is a political decision. He indicated he does support the effort to try to re-engage this process and to do what the Mayor has proposed. Ultimately, if that cannot happen, he is supportive of writing a letter with the four points that staff has outlined. He noted he also likes the idea of issuing a minority report and presenting it to the CMA. Finally, he commented the decision on the extension of Stoneridge Drive is a Pleasanton decision. Councilmember McGovern stated she respects all the elected officials that she serves with on all the different committees that she serves on. She finds that working toward common good really has made some differences in our communities. She indicated she thinks that one of the number one concerns of residents is traffic and that it ties to quality of life in the community. She stated she hopes that the counterparts will be willing to come back and work with the city managers to try to reach consensus. If that cannot happen, then there is a need to move forward with a letter to CMA and perhaps asking for a presentation regarding the minority viewpoint. Motion: It was m/s by Sullivan/Cook-Kallio to direct that a letter be written by the Mayor to the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency, stating the City's concerns with the recommendation adopted by the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) including a recommendation that they postpone any decision on the Triangle Study while we work to resolve the issue with Livermore, Dublin and the County, and to have the city managers meet and confer, and continue discussions with neighboring cities.
