MINUTES <br /> OF THE <br />SPECIAL MEETING AND WORKSHOP <br />OF THE <br /> PLEASANTON CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />August 22, 2002 <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER - PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE <br /> <br /> The special meeting and workshop of the City Council was called to order by Mayor <br />Tom Pico at 6:38 p.m. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico led the assembly in the pledge of allegiance. <br /> <br />ROLLCALL <br /> <br /> City Clerk Peggy Ezidro called the roll, which is recorded as follows: Councilmembers <br />present were Kay Ayala, Matt Campbell, Sharrell Michelotti, and Mayor Tom Pico. Staff <br />members present were: Deborah McKeehan, City Manager; Michael Roush, City Attorney; <br />Brian Swift, Director of Planning and Community Development; and Jeff Knowles, Deputy <br />Director/Transportation. <br /> <br />1. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br /> Patricia Belding, 7703 Highland Oaks Drive, representing Citizens for a Caring <br />Community, complained about telephone calls and a letter threatening a lawsuit by the <br />proponents of Measure V unless her committee retracts statements made in its argument against <br />Measure V. She said she felt the statements were valid and that the letter was an effort to <br />intimidate her cause. That is not in keeping with a democratic form of government. She said her <br />group is not intimidated and believe in what was stated in the ballot argument. If there is a <br />lawsuit, she felt comfortable that her group would be vindicated. She was distressed with these <br />tactics and felt them unworthy of this city, which has been working hard to create a community <br />of character. It can only result in delaying tactics for the election and would not promote the <br />welfare of seniors and special needs people. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala asked for an update on this from the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council <br />Special Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />08/22/02 <br /> <br /> <br />
