I-Ie believed that a <br />more than 12 percent rate hike is unwarranted, and he remains concerned that ongoing <br />litigation and other costs unrelated to garbage collection involving Pleasanton Garbage <br />Services are unfairly being borne by Pleasanton residents. <br /> <br />Mayor Pico closed the public testimony. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Pico, seconded by Ms. Hosterman, to approve <br />Resolution 04-055, a resolution establishing fixed and uniform refuse collection rates <br />for the period July I, 2004 through March 31, 2007, to conditionally approve an <br />additional 1.14 percent rate adjustment for the operational expansion pending <br />completion of the review of the conditional use permit and associated requirements <br />(this adjustment would only be implemented after Council is satisfied that the <br />proposed expansion were appropriate), to direct staff to meet with Pleasanton <br />Garbage Services on an annual basis to monitor company revenues and <br />expenditures, and to address the "lag" year issues as indicated in the staff report. <br /> <br /> In response to an inquiry by Mr. Brozosky, Mr. Fialho indicated that staff was <br />comfortable with the conditional approval of the 1.14 percent rate adjustment. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala indicated that she would support the motion; however, she encouraged <br />Council and staff to look at ways to cut costs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky believed Council and staff could evaluate whether all of the <br />services that are provided by Pleasanton Garbage Services are actually needed. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows <br />AYES: Councilmembers- Ayala, Brozosky, Hosterman, and Mayor Pico <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Campbell <br />ABSTAlN: None <br /> <br />There was a break at 10:00 p.m. <br /> <br />The meeting reconvened at 10:09 p.m. <br /> <br />6._~e <br />Acceptance of Certification of the Initiative to Save Our Community Park Petitions <br />and other issues concerning the Initiative.
