MINUTES CITY OF PLEASANTON REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING March 20, 2012 CALL TO ORDER Mayor Hosterman called the regular meeting to order at the hour of 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Cook- Kallio lead the Pledge of Allegiance and she provided introductory remarks. ROLL CALL Present: Councilmembers Cook-Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Absent: None CLOSED SESSION REPORT City Attorney Lowell stated that the Council met in Closed Session concerning existing litigation, Urban Habitat, et al v. City of Pleasanton and that no reportable action was taken. AGENDA AMENDMENTS City Manager Fialho stated that Item 14, Consider the scope, work plan, general schedule and public input process for preparation of an East Pleasanton Specific Plan, was pulled from the agenda and would be scheduled for another time. Councilmember Thorne requested Council support to continue Item 6, Public Hearing: P12-0042. He felt the item represented an unwarranted reaction to what could be an isolated situation and said he lacked sufficient information to make an informed decision. While he acknowledged a Councilmember's ability to pull an item without consensus, he did not feel it appropriate to do so with a published agenda item. City Attorney Lowell explained that the Council could either choose to act on the item through the Consent Calendar, move it to the regular part of the agenda for further discussion, or continue it to a future meeting for discussion. Councilmember Cook-Kallio and Mayor Hosterman offered support for a continuance. Councilmember McGovern Councilmember supported removing the item to the regular agenda and felt he had the right continue the item on his own and should do so. She noted that protection of this councilmember right is important to her. Councilmember Sullivan supported moving the item to the regular agenda but did not support a continuance. Councilmember Sullivan asked to reverse the order of Items 12 and 13. The Council offered support. CONSENT CALENDAR Administrative Services 1. Approved regular meeting minutes of February 7, 2012 (as corrected) and special meeting minutes of February 13 and March 1 and 6, 2012 Vice-Mayor Cook-Kallio noted one minor correction that she would submit to the City Clerk.
