MINUTES <br /> CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> April 2, 2013 <br /> CALL TO ORDER <br /> Mayor Thorne called the regular meeting to order at the hour of 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Pentin lead <br /> the Pledge of Allegiance and provided introductory remarks. <br /> ROLL CALL <br /> Present: Councilmembers Brown, Cook-Kallio, Pentin, Mayor Thorne <br /> Absent: One Vacancy <br /> AGENDA AMENDMENTS <br /> Mayor Thorne stated that both he and other members of the Council received a number of <br /> communications requesting that the Council continue Item 10 because so many members of the public <br /> were unable to attend tonight's meeting. He said that while any single member of the Council is able to <br /> continue an item on a published agenda, he did not agree with this practice in general and would not <br /> make such a request. An alternative option, for which he requested Council support, would be to hear <br /> the staff report, receive public comment and then continue the public hearing to the next regular <br /> Council meeting. <br /> Councilmember Brown said this is such an important issue to the town that she would support the <br /> request. She asked that staff notice those involved in drafting the Measure PP ballot so that they may <br /> have an opportunity to weigh in. <br /> Vice-Mayor Cook-Kallio said she also received a number of calls and at least one email from individuals <br /> who cancelled their plans in order to attend tonight's meeting. She said she would support the request <br /> so that everyone may be heard, but hoped the public's request was not a politically motivated delay <br /> tactic. <br /> Councilmember Pentin voiced his support. <br /> Mayor Thorne asked to reverse the order of Items 9 and 10. <br /> CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> Administrative Services <br /> 1.
