Resolution No. 08-189 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />WHEREAS, the City Council concluded that Mr. Pfund's program mirrored a daycare <br />facility in that the program provided a structured program, supervision and care, and a multitude <br />of activities in addition to the martial arts classes; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council concluded that Mr. Pfund needed a daycare license in <br />order to operate the facility as proposed; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council concluded that Mr. Pfund's program does not meet the <br />requirements necessary to be exempt from childcare licensure from the State and that his <br />program is not adrop-in recreation program; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council concluded that Mr. Pfund's proposal to have the parents <br />sign a waiver which would allow children to come and go freely was inconsistent with the City's <br />policy which requires children to be signed in and out by a parent or guardian; and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council concluded that it would not be safe to allow children to <br />come and go freely from the facility, particularly since it is located in an industrial park where <br />there is a greater amount of truck traffic and persons do not expect children to be in an industrial <br />zone; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br />PLEASANTON DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER THE FOLLOWING: <br />Section 1.
