Mr. Thorne concurred with Mr. Sullivan's comments. He would like for this process to become institutionalized and a part of the way in which the City reaches conclusions for contentious projects rather than allowing issues to fester between entities and neighborhoods. He supported the project and the revised master expansion plan. It was moved by Ms. McGovern, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to adopt Resolution 05-067, a resolution denying the appeal of Case PAP-79 thereby approving the revised master expansion plan, as shown in Exhibit B, to allow the expansion of the existing church facility in three phases, to approve the design review (PDR-391) for Phase I construction, and require, in the future, design review by the Planning Commission for Phase II and Phase III. Ms. McGovern believed it was important in communities for neighborhoods and churches within neighborhoods to be in good working order and feel like they support one another. She supported the revised master expansion plan, which would benefit and offer many positive attributes to the entire community. Mr. Brozosky recognized St. Clare's and the many positive attributes that it offers to the entire community. He believed the consensus-building public process was successful. He was hopeful this model could be used for future contentious projects within the City. Mayor Hosterman said her expectations were exceeded and the consensus-building public process provided an opportunity for neighbors to be recognized and heard. Consensus was achieved between participation of Church and neighborhood representatives and through staff and Ms. Willits participation and hard work. As a result of this process, the neighborly relationship has been maintained between St. Clare's and the neighborhood. The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, and Mayor Hosterman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAINED: None 6b Emeraencv item to discuss providing relief assistance to the victims of Hurricane Katrina Mr. Fialho provided a brief report which included the establishment of a management team comprised of key City personnel to develop an approach and strategy on how the City could respond as a community consistent with the parameters and guidelines requested by the President and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as well as how the City would typically handle emergency response protocol within the State of California. The project has been named "Pleasanton Gives Hope" which includes several potential elements for Council to consider and endorse. In addition to the project "Pleasanton Gives Hope," he acknowledged six emergency personnel who have been dispatched to the scene. Two firefighters have been dispatched to New Orleans and are involved in swift water rescue; three firefighters are in Biloxi, Mississippi and are providing medical support, morgue management and incident command services in coordination with the National Guard; and one Emergency Preparedness Coordinator in Baton Rouge, Louisiana who is assigned to the American Red Cross for shelter relief.
