Exhibit 1 Focus Group Summary Downtown Restaurant Association Date: February 4, 2022 Time: 10-11am Meeting Notes: • Anectdotally, restaurant workers face challenges finding local housing they can afford, although many of his workers do live in Pleasanton. Many live communally (multiple individuals, families sharing) • Reluctance to approach City due to concerns about immigration status. • Language barriers mean it’s important to provide information in multiple languages. Association of Pleasanton Teachers || Association of Pleasanton Staff Date: February 2, 2022 Time: 4-5pm Meeting Notes: • New teachers face some of the biggest challenges – tend to be younger, single and not able to afford local rents. It can be challenging as a result to attract new talent to the district, when long commutes are involved • Inability to live locally affects teachers’ ability to fully participate in student extracurricular activities and programs – facing long commutes after the school day concludes • Internal survey conducted by APT (662 responses), indicated 37.5% who said they could not afford to live in the Tri-Valley, and another 37% who were seeking other employment opportunities closer to where they live. Retention is an issue. • Sharing City information about available housing resources and opportunities with incoming teachers would be very beneficial – many don’t know what programs are available to them.
