comfortable with the megadump proposal. She gave credit to Scott Haggerry for standing up <br />for his beliefs. She supported him and the lawsuit. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said she has a great deal of respect for Councilmember Dennis's <br />guidance. But after hearing some of the testimony tonight she did not want to come up short <br />handed. She wanted 2.1 million tons not anything above that. She does not want to go to other <br />jurisdictions. She felt the City of Livermore made a good attempt. She did not think the <br />settlement was good enough. What is the City getting? She was concerned that if this goes back <br />to the Supervisors, the City might end up with less. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis said the City of Livermore listened to this issue over a long period of time. <br />They have been very concerned about the impacts from the beginning. She felt if Pleasanton <br />did not pull out of the lawsuit, which is a condition of the settlement, then the whole offer will <br />be withdrawn. She believed the City of Livermore looked at all the issues and voted to pull out <br />of the lawsuit and felt Pleasanton should support Livermore's decision. <br /> <br /> Mr. Weinberger said a number of concerns that this Council has expressed are identical <br />to those expressed by the Livermore Councilmembers. It was determined that the rate of ffil <br />for the landfill was sized appropriately for a 160 million ton facility. The Board of Supervisors <br />left this facility there when the facility was downsized to 80 million. The Livermore City <br />Council felt a 25 % overall average reduction in truck trips associated with the twenty-five year <br />period was a community benefit that it did not want to turn down. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if it would be appropriate to adjourn to a closed session because <br /> she had some issues she wanted to discuss before taking action on this item? <br /> <br /> Mr. Roush said there are closed session issues concerning what will happen if the <br /> settlement proposal is turned down. <br /> <br /> The meeting was adjourned to a closed session at 12:40 a.m. <br /> <br /> The meeting reconvened at 12:54 a.m. <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 36 05119/98 <br /> Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
