Mayor Tarver was not certain, but thought it would be April 10 in San Diego. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said the most cost efficient proposal was the ACE train. Highway <br />84 and the BART extension to Livermore were also on the list. She urged contacting the <br />Governor and legislators to support this. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver indicated he had intended to vote no on Consent Calendar item 4e, <br />the BART extension to Livermore. He is fed up with the way growth is funded. He will <br />campaign against the next Measure B re-authorization and will continue that until <br />someone gets the message sales tax is not the way to pay for growth and the <br />transportation needs of the future. Some of the proposed projects are very costly and he <br />felt them were other alternatives. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarver, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to add a future <br />agenda item to review the timing and/or removal of the Bernal Avenue/Koll Center <br />traffic signals. <br /> <br /> He felt these signals have only made traffic on Bernal Avenue worse. They may <br />be helping vehicles coming off the freeway and going to the business park, but are not <br />helping residents or traffic flow. He wants an opportunity to discuss that. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala indicated she has had at least five comments regarding these signals. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti indicated she drives this route at least four times a day and she was <br />not in favor of removing the signal. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Ayala, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: Councilmembers Dennis and Michelotti <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver inquired if the City would sponsor a float in the Alameda Cotmty <br />Fair parade on June 24, 2000. He suggested highlighting the Commissions and supported <br />a suggestion to have the Youth Commission do it. He asked that the idea be presented to <br />the other Commissions. In the worst case, he would agree to a car for Councilmembers. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver then referred to the Home Town Hero applications and said the <br />deadline was extended to April 21, 2000 for nominations. Forms are at the library and at <br />City Hall and can be turned in to Roger McLaln at the Lions Club. A youth and adult <br />home town hero will be selected. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis was concerned about the requirement to provide a resume for the <br />nominee. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 29 04/04/00 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
