Mayor Tarver said he would like to have the annexation go smoothly. He understands where the people in Happy Valley are coming from. He had no problem in accepting the Alisal Improvement Association financing method. He believes there is not going to be a bypass road for many years and this impacts the community. He wants to use an incremental cost basis to finance the golf course so the existing property owners are the least impacted. Ms. Dennis would like to see everyone hook up to water and sewer. She supported the Alisal Improvement Club allocation method. Ms. Ayala asked if this method has been used anywhere else in the City. Ms. Acosta said it was useful for Council to state its reasons for supporting or not supporting the method. Ms. Dennis felt it was fair because the bypass road would not be constructed for quite some time. Mr. Pico did not want to vote on the motion if the motion eliminates the bypass road. Mayor Tarver said the bypass road will be constructed. The motion is to minimize the impacts to the residents until the bypass road can be constructed. Ms. Dennis said it states in the report that the bypass road will be built as soon as possible. Ms. Michelotti did not feel the bypass road was going to happen in a timely fashion. She hoped the costs would be reduced if more people decide to buy in if they feel the plan is fair and equitable. Mayor Tarver said the longer a property owner delays connecting, the higher the cost will be. Ms. Acosta said the LAVWMA expansion project is going to have a significant impact on sewer connection fees that will not be paid to the City of Pleasanton. The longer a person waits, the more expensive it will be. Ms. Michelotti indicated new property owners would pay a higher fee to connect to water and sewer. Pleasanton City Council 27 02/16/99 Minutes
