HomeMy WebLinkAbout11-1982 Adopted CC Minutesto be very worthwhile~ On motion by Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. B~Jrton, and by unanimous vote, the proclamatiF~.n was approved. ORAL COMMUN i CAT i ONS COLONEL MARKS, DEPT. OF THE. ARMY, RESERVE TRAINING AREA Colonel Marks extended an invitation to the City Council to the opening of artillery sub- caliber range at Camp Parks ~'ir Force Training Area on November 15, 1982 at 9-00 a.m., Building 790. In the past, the firing of artillery has been brought up both by~ the media and other interested parties in the valley. He felt a demonstration would provide valuable insights in that they are not firing artillery, but a rather simplified device which uses a small projectile held by a shotgun shell. This allows the artillery personnel to ~ffect the same training as though they were firing live artillery. The cost is fractional; approximately $1.00 per round as opposed to $300-$400 per round for liYe artillery. The noise is something less than a firecracker. COMMUNITY DEVELOPiqENT BLOCK GRANT CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS At its meetiiig of Octoaer Il, 1982, the City Council requested that Staff aevertise the neec] 'for persons to fill tF, e at-large position and Arroyo Vista Position on the Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Community Development Block Grant Program. To date, two individuals have expressed an interest in the at-large position. Those i~dividuals are Beth Howard, 11782 Dublin Green 2rive, anc~ Harry W. Demmel, 11674 Los Ranchitos Court. ~'A motion was made by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty to nominate both candidates. Cm. Jeffery felt the City Council shoula only submit one name. The decision, therefore, would be the choi'ce of the Council rather than giving the choice to the Board of Super- visors who act as the selection body. The motion to nominate both candidates was withdrawn by Cm. Burton, and second was withdrawn by Cm. Hegarty. On motio:l by Cmo Bur~.~n~, seconded by Cm. Heoarty, and,~y'- majorityvo~., ~'~ne 'nom~"na',.~'on of Harry Wo Demmel will be submitted to 'the Board of Supervisors~, Voting against the motion was Cm. Jeffery. Staff has 9repare.J and distributed a 'flier to the Pleasanton iqousing Authority so!iciti~g interested persians from the Arroyo Vista development to serve on the Citizen's Advisory Committee. It is anticipated that once an interested in~Jividual ste~]s forti~ from this development, the consideration of a nomination by the City Council will be agendized at a fut~Jre meeting. REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS BRIGHTON DRIVE/LANGMUIR LANE At its meeting of October 25, 1982, the City council .received a request from residents in ~he vicinity of Brighton Drive and Langmuir Lane for stop signs on Brighton Drive/Lang- ~muir Lane. The County Traffic Engineer has reviewed the need for stop signs at this location and determined that a stop sign at this location does not meet warrants. The Police Chief, however, has recommended that a stop sign be installed to control excessive speeding. Although this intersection may not meet traffic warrants, because of the CM- 1-15~@ intersection's proximity to Dublin High School, and the use of Brighton Drive as a connector street between Amador Valley Boulevard and Village Parkway, special consider- ation of stop signs may be appropriate at this location. After discussion, on motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, an emergency ordinance was introduced and adopted establishing traffic regulations by means of stop signs at intersection of Brighton Drive/Langmuir Lane. ORDINANCE NO. 21 ESTABLISHING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS BRIGHTON DRIVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LANGMUIR LANE TRAFFIC STUDY DUBLIN BOULEVARD/SILVERGATE DRIVE The Alameda County Road Department has identified four alternatives for redesigning the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Silvergate Drive. Mr. Tat M. Cheung made a presen- tation of the four alternatives to the Council. Following presentation and discussion, the Council directed Staff to request additional information from the County in order to adequately make a decision related to which alternative would be most appropriate. The additional information requested would include a detailed cost summary of alternative #2, including a stop sign at the northwest corner. The cost summary should include all related engineering, inspection and force account costs. Staff was also directed to find out the amount of money the County would contribute toward the completion of this alterna- tive. Staff was also directed to have the County prepare a low-cost alternative which includes stop signs for all three directions of travel and anY appropriate striping modifications. Discussion was held related to relocation of bike lanes on Dublin Boulevard to another location in order to modify the center line on Dublin Boulevard. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM In August, 1982, the City Council authorized Staff to initiate retirement coverage for employees under the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). Since that time, PERS has conducted an actuarial valuation which developed the employer contribution rate to the retirement system and projects the annual costs to the City. The employer rate for the City of Dublin will be 7.138%. This is the projected actuarial rate to the year 2007; however, the employer's rate is subject to change with future amendments and/or experience and other factors. The estimated annual cost to the City of Dublin utilizing the most current payroll fi~gures available is $7,887. The employee contribution rate will be 7% of employee earnings, exclusive of overtime. On motion by Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote the City Council agreed to adopt the resolution of intention and introduced the ordinance, waiving reading. RESOLUTION NO. 58-82 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION ~0 APPROVE A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN CM-1-154 Introduce: ORDINANCE NO. AUTHORIZING THE ADOPTION AND EXECUTION · OF A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CIT'Y OF DUBLIN AND THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM A brief recess was called, and all Councilmembers were present when the meeting reconvened. TRAFFIC INVESTIGATION REQUEST FROM SCHOOL DISTRICT Mr. Ambrose requested that this item be withdrawn from the agenda. The School District has requested additional time to respond with their information. LIVERMORE-PLEASP~NTON BART EXTENSION STUDY The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) is presently requesting proposals for an updated study of the 1976 Livermore-Pleasanton BART Extension Study. On November 3, 1982, Staff attended a meeting held by BART staff for the purpose of receiving comments from all interested parties on the content of the Request fOr Proposal and route alignment. After discussion, Staff was requested to relay City Council comments to BART: make certain that adequate parking is available adjacent to the BART station locations. Ex- plore the possibility of utilizing the southern portion of Camp Parks for parking just east of Hopyard Road. Consider a station which is located in the center median of ~ighway 580 which would either include parking on both sides of the station, or an elevated parking structure above the station. When investigating station locations, look at the accessibility of the proposed station sites with respect to individuals using Dublin commercial and employment centers and also individuals from the San Ramon and Danville areas where substantial residential development is being proposed. Advise the City of Dublin with respect to future opportunities for the City's input. Staff was also requested to relay City Council's concern regardi'ng the short time in which to respond. VALLEY WIDE TRANSIT STUDY On November 2, 1982, Staff met v~ith representatives from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, BART, Livermore, Pleasanton, Alameda County and Supervisor Excell regarding the provision of public transit services in the Livermore Amador Valley. The Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton are presently served by BART express buses (under contract to AC Transit), while the City of Livermore operates its own bus system. It is well recognized that greater local public transp.ortation is needed in Dublin and Pleasanton. The MTC has indicated that there are funds available to provide such local transportation from Article 4 of the Transportation Development Act. It was recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution requesting Metropolitan Transportation Commission to fund a local transit study which would include the areas ---/of Dublin, Pleasanton, and adjacent unincorporated, area, and further, designate the City of Pleasanton as the lead agency in such a planning endeavor. On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the resolution was adopted. CM-1-155 RESOLUTION NO. 59-82 REQUESTING PLANNING FUNDS FOR A LOCAL TRANSIT FEASIBILITY STUDY FROM THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION REOPEN APPEAL PROCESS NAUGLES, INC. A request has been received from the Menlo Company, Robert Jacob, to have the Naugles appeal again come before the City Council as they state they did not receive the notice of hearing. After discussion, it was decided that in the future, notices should be sent via registered mail. - On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council agreed to reconsider and vacate their previous motion to deny the appeal and approve the project subject to conditions, and to reopen the appeal process at the next meeting. PARADES Mr. Ambrose stated the City has recently received 2 requests for Santa Arrival Parades requiring a $60 application fee as established by the County. One applicant requested that the fee be waived. Cm. Burton felt the application fee should be charged on a graduated fee scale, based on size of parade. Cm. Jeffery indicated she felt the fee appropriate to help defray costs of personnel of police service to control traffic at parades. On motion by Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed that $60 application fee be charged to both applicants, and that further, the City look into possibility of establishing a graduated fee schedule. VILLAGE PARKWAY DRAINS & FENCES The City Manager reported that most median and parkway areas have been cleaned up, through arrangements that were made with the County. No answer yet to the Village Parkway drain situation. The inspector will be coming out sometime in the near future to survey the entire situation. - Fences along Village Parkway were discussed. Mr. Ambrose asked Mr. Burnham to look into the subdivision regulation and CC&R's to see if there is a clause contained which would require maintenance of these fences. There definitely is a problem, but Mr. Ambrose stated he wasn't sure exactly what the sOlution is. As the fences start coming down, and the resident replaces, there's nothing that prohibits one person from putting up chainlink, another putting up wood, another concrete, etc. A possible solution would be for the City to acquire some type of easement and make it the City's responsibility to maintain the fences in that particular area. The brick posts are individual private property. GARBAGE AT BUS STOP LOCATIONS Cm. Burton brought concern before Council of overflowing garbage situation at bus stop CM-1 -156 located just next to Grand Auto. He felt the City should invest in some permanent type of litter containers. Mr. Ambrose has discussed the location with the County and the property owner. The County empties the trash when they are in that vicinity, but this is not done on any kind of a regular basis. ~-i~iles ~Ferris, a representative from DSRSD was present at the meeting and indicated he would obtain price information for the City related to pick up of garbage at this locatic~n. TREE TRIMMING Cm. Burton relayed some information he read in the League of CA Cities bulletin related to ideas on saving money on tree trimming as a cooperative effort between the City and the people. He felt it was well worth pursuing and investigating. Perhaps PG&E would be willing to help. STREET SWEEPING SCHEDULE Mr. Ambrose indicated that Richard Figueroa, Marc Sweeping Service has established a schedule which will be published in the near future. A map will be put together, and people will be encouraged to not park their cars on the street on those days that pertain to their neighborhood. Cm. Jeffery asked if the City had been contacted by an individual who had been involved in an accident with the street sweeper. Mr. Ambrose indicated that he had, and if a claim is to be filed, the incident will be handled by the insurance carried by street sweeping ~ontractor. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY Mayor Snyder attended the meeting on the Solid Waste Management Authority. Twenty or so people were in attendance, and several good things came out of the meeting. Some of the things discussed were: Should the Authority be concerned about the acquisition of lands, which the Authority itself would administer for solid waste disposal? Thoughts about a permanent staff in the future if solid waste becomes a greater problem. Hazards waste becoming a more prevalent problem. This Authority has little to do wi th hazardous waste, other than in an advisory situation. Mr. Ambrose will request a copy of the Solid Waste Manual from Bill Fraley. CITY HOLIDAYS In light of the fact that a Personnel Ordinance has not yet been adopted, the City Manager wished to discuss the upcoming Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving Day hOlidays with the City Council to determine what their wishes are related to these two holidays. Om motion by Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimo, us vote, the City offices will be closed in observance of Veteran's Day on Thursday, November l 1 th and closed in observance of Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 25th.

The Statement of Revenue and Expenditures for the period ending September 30, 1982 was removed from the consent calendar and placed with the City Auditor's Report for discussion. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS LOU HOLVECK, PG&E AREA MANAGER Mr. Holveck addressed the Council and discussed ways that PG&E is willing to help customers lighten the impact that high gas and electric bills will have this winter. Mr. Holveck introducted Ms. DeAnna Ewing, PG&E's Energy Assist- ance Representative, who elaborated on some of the various programs. AUDITOR'S REPORT Mr. Perry Carter with the City's Auditing Firm, Bray, Burke, Waterman, Cockrill & Carter explained the format of the 1981-82 Financial Statement and Manaqement Letter. Based upon this report, Staff has identified the need for additional controls related to bookkeeping functions. As a result, Staff requested Council permission to secure services of a contract bookkeeper. CM- 1-158 On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council authorized Staff to proceed with the ~election of a part time bookkeeper. On motion by Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council accepted and approved the Financial Statement as submitted, and the Management Letter. PODIUM PLACE~..iEN ~ John Alexander, 7318 Ko!b Place~ addressed the Council with a request that the podium b~ moved to another location. The Mayor explained that the podium was placed to best serve the speakers addressing the Council, and unfcrtun-~ ate!y, must remain as placed. STREET SWEEPER IDENTIFICATION Ms. Donna Cardenas, R&D Sweeping Company~ addressed the Council with a request that the equipment being used to fulfill sweeping contract with City, Marc Sweeping Service, be identified. She also wished to confirm receipt by the Council of correspondenc~ she had delivered related to various areas of concern felt by her company with respect to the present street sweeping contractor. LAS P©SITAS/NEW TOWN REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF ©PPOSITION BY CITY OF LIVER~ORE Livermore Mayor Dale Turner has forwarded a request for the .Dublin City Council to support their opposition to the proposed Las Positas/New Town project. The Dublin City Council unanimously felt it appropriate not to take a stand. at this time on the issue until both sides could be studied. Further~ it was f~lt that ~ublin could not involve themselves in a local issue of this magnitude until such time as the Dublin General Plan and Sphere of Influence studies were completed. Cm. Moffatt indicated that he felt sympathetic towards the City of Livermore in this issue, however, this Council must consider what's best for residents of D~blin. No action will be taken on this issue at this time. PUBLIC HEARING NAUGLES, INC. APPEAL The Planning Director advised Council that this is an appeal of planning application PA82-003. On October 7, 1982, Naugles, inc., was 9'ranted a Conditional Use Permit to operate a drive-in restaurant in the ~eneral ~commercial district. At that time, the Zoning Administrator approved the application with the conditiOn that required the proposed driv~-in window be relocated. The applicant has since appealed the condition and thus, the project comes before the City Council. Staff analysis of the project found CM-1-159 that there were potential traffic safety problems with the proposed location of the drive-up window. Reference was made to potential site plan and concerns were pointed out on a visual display of plan. Staff recommended denying the appeal and approving the project subject to the conditions that: 1) drive-up window be relocated, 2) adequate vehicle stacking space is provided, 3) the western portion of the site be landscaped, and 4) the project be completed within one year. Mr. Tong indicated during review of project, there were concerns raised by the road department, the fire department, and police services. Mr. Robert Jacob was present at the meeting and spoke on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Jacob explained that they had no problem with any of the conditions except the requirement to relocate the drive-up window. From a workflow standpoint, this simply is just not feasible. To move a drive-up window to the rear, by virtue of the way the restaurant is layed out is not possible. Cm. Burton asked is there was a possibility of widening the driveway to improve the radius of the turn situation or if it were possible to make some adjustment of perhaps only 10 feet to the drive-up window. A 1972 traffic count was passed out to the Council by Mr. Jacobs. He stated he realized the count would no longer be accurate, but felt that percentages would still be appropriate. They felt the entrance and exit issue could be easily accommodated by signing and further, that the traffic backup problem was not as bad as it looked. Mr. Jacobs explained that the drive-up window would be open 24 hours and the restaurant open only during typical normal hours. In some locations, this particular chain restaurant derives up to ~ 70% of their revenue from the drive-up window. If the location of the drive-up window cannot be resolved, there would be no interest in the property on the part of Naugles. After discussion, on motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by majority vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the matter will be continued until the City Council meeting of December 13, 1982. The applicant will work with Staff and come back with a slight modification with respect to location of drive-up window and widening of driveway. Against the motion was Cm. Moffatt. RECESS A short recess was called. Cm. Burton, Hegarty, Moffatt and Mayor Snyder were present when meeting reconvened. TRAFFIC STUDY ~UBLIN BOULEVARD/SILVERGATE DRIVE In accordance with City Council direction at its meeting of November 8, 1982, the Alameda County Road Department has provided the City with additional information with respect to detailed costs on the alternative the Council wished to pursue. The Council also requested the preparation of an alter- ~ native which includes stop signs at all legs of the intersection. Also requested was possible elimination of bike lanes, in order to not impact property owner on the northeast portion of the intersection, with respect to parking. The County engineers have indicated that the latter proposal would CM-i-160 obviate the need for any acquisition of right of way or prohibition of parking to the property owner. Staff has spoken to the property owner and he indi- cated his strong opposition to any designs that will eliminate the on-street parking in front of his property. The estimated cost to implement Exhibit G would be $32,000. The basic difference between Exhibits E'and G are that G retains the bike lane on the south side of Dublin Boulevard and E eliminates this bike lane. The total cost for Exhibit E is appro×imately $22,000, Alternative #2 'total cost would be approximately $29,500. Should the Council decide to act at this meeting, an ordinance providing stop signs at northwest corner of intersection, has been prepared. After discussion, on motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council recommended the City adopt Exhibit E as a means of solving the traffic problems at this intersection, along with the addition of a stop sign at the northwest corner. On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council waived reading and adopted an urgency ordinance for placement of stop sign. ORDINANCE NO. 22-82 ESTABLISHING TP~FFIC REGULATIONS SILVERGATE DRIVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF DUBLIN BOULEVARD CiTY SEAL Mr. Frank Uhlig prepared and presented detailed graphic renderings of several ideas which the Council directed he proceed on. Certain changes and refine- ments were recommended to one drawing and Mr. Uhlig will incorporate these changes and present to the Council at a future meeting. PLANNING & ZONING MATTERS ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING JURISDICTION At its meeting of October 25, 1982, the City Council directed Staff and the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance providing a planning review process as follows: TYPE OF APPLICATION INITIAL ~HEARING APPEAL BODY Variances Planning Director City Council Conditional Use Permit (except for~ Planning Commission City Council conmunity care facility, an acces-[ sory use, accessory unit or a ~Pla~ning Director Planning Con~ission/City Council t~orary use. ) _~ ' Site Development Review Planning Director Platting Con~ssion/City Council Parcel F~p Planning Commission City Co~mcil Tentative Map Planning Conmmlssion City Council On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote (Cm. 7effery absent), the Council agreed to introduce the ordinance and waive the ._.eading. CM-i-161 PLANNING REVIEW BACKLOG STATUS REPORT At its meeting of October 11, 1982, the City Council authorized Staff to secure the part time services of a Planning Consultant for 4 to 6 weeks to assist in clearing the planning application backlog. The City Council directed Staff to return with a progress report on the planning services backlog after the Planning Consultant had completed four (4) weeks of work. The progress report was presented to the Council. After discussion, it was determined that the City Manager will review and keep very close eye on situation for the remainder of the agreed upon time frame and will report back to the City Council at its meeting on December 13, 1982, with a recommendation. ENGINEERING SERVICES STATUS REPORT On November 15, 1982 the City received eleven responses to its Request for Proposal for Engineering Services. Staff is presently reviewing those proposals and plans to recommend a group of finalists for the City Council to review. It is Staff's recommendation that the interviews be conducted at a special meeting in order to give the Council adequate time to review the qualifications of each firm. It is recommended that the City Council con- sider holding such a meeting on Tuesday, December 7, 1982. On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council will hold the special meeting as recommended for purposes of interviewing firms to provide the City with engineering services. GREEN STORE MODIFICATIONS The Green Store at 11878 Dublin Boulevard is one of the oldest buildings in the City. Past reviews and approvals concerning the site and structure have emphasized its historical significance. Reconstruction, additions and modi- fications have recently been made to the structure and site. Based on plans submitted to the City on November 1, 1982, and review of past approvals, Staff found that many modifications were being made without or contrary to the required planning approval and building permit. Work on the project has been stopped because the zoning ordinance requires either: 1) that the project conforms to the existing conditions of approval; or 2) the existing conditions of approval are modified. Specific issues are 3: South Elevation, Parking and Landscaping. History of the site was discussed. The Planning Director pointed out that many physical changes have been made to the Green Store's site plan, land- scaping, land use intensity, and architecture. These changes have not been made with the approval of the Building Department or Planning Department. They are inconsistent with the approvals previously granted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Some changes are also inconsistent with Zoning Ordinance regulations, e.g. amount, size and configuration of parking stalls. A Following lengthy discussion, on motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the following was agreed upon: 1) The stop work order is vacated, 2) As-builts are approved as changed, except that 4 parking spaces in southerly parking lot be removed CM-1-162 and a drive thru substituted, 3) Occupancy conditional upon compliance with general provisions contained in Exhibit C, and 4) Upon proof of parking capacity and access pursuant to P.U.D. which will satisfy parking and access requirements of as-built plans. In the event that Green Store does not have the capacity for as-built parking requirements, occupancy shall be determined pursuant to the usual Dublin procedures. Mr. Gus Nichandros, representing the Green Store project felt the direction of Council was quite clear. PLANNING COMMISSION REQUEST ENFORCE SIGN ORDINANCE SANDWICH AND A-FRAME SIGNS At its meeting of November 1, 1982, the Planning Commission requested Staff to prepare a letter regarding illegal sandwich or A-frame signs. The letter was to be distributed to store owners or operators by the zoning investigator as she came upon such illegal signs. The reason for the letter was the perceived increase in the number and visibility of illegal sandwich board signs especially along Village Parkway and Dublin Boulevard. The letter requests voluntary removal of the illegal signs. If necessary, formal zoning enforcement actions would begin five days after the zoning investi- gator delivered the letter. Because the City Council agreed not to take action against an existing sign until the City reviewed and revised its present sign ordinance, Council direction was requested. Following discussion, the Council asked that the City Attorney prepare a modification to the present sign ordinance which would preclude the use and ~'installation of A-frame and sandwich board signs. The introduction of this ordinance would be agendized at the next City Council meeting on December 13, 1982. ARCO GRANT During September, 1982, Staff was notified by Dr. Eugene Fox of the Atlantic Richfield Company, that ARCO was interested in contributing funds for pur- poses which would enhance the fine arts in the community. Dr. Fox indicated that up to $15,000 could be made available by ARCO. Since that time, the following groups have submitted proposals for consideration: GROUP PURPOSE Shamrock Valley Chorus Children's Theatre Workshop Pleasanton Community Band Valley Choral Society Hope Hospice Inc. AMOUNT Risers $ 1,900.00 Theatre Lighting Equipment 3,050.00 Restoration/Amador High School Theatre -- up to -- 35,000.00 Director's salary, rental of facil- ities, printing of programs & No Amount publicity literature Specified Assitance for terminally ill No Amt Specified Staff has discussed briefly the nature of the proposals with Mr. Fox who indicated that all proposals could possibly be funded to a certain extent. Mr. Fox did indicate that he would like a letter from the City Council endorsing those proposals which it felt were deserving. CM-1-163 On motion by Cm. Burton, seconded by Mayor Snyder, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Jeffery absent), the Council directed Staff to submit the requests to ARCO, endorsing all, but with special priority emphasis on the requests of the Shamrock Valley. Chorus and the Children's Theatre Workshop. OTHER BUSINESS SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY Mayor Snyder indicated he attended meeting last week. In the presentation, their council said very succinctly that they had no alternative but to invite us to become a part of that agency. The Dublin San Ramon Services District, the night before, on a 3-0 vote (2 people being absent) agreed to abstain from any vote in that regard and also to issue a statement indicating they.were not in favor of us being a part of that agency as we have no responsibility in that area. The law says we should be a part of this agency, however. DSRSD will be communicating with us re this subject. HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION Mayor Snyder indicated he had received communication indicating the Human Services Commission from the City of Pleasanton would like to meet with the Livermore Social Concerns Committee and a representative from the City of Dublin to coordinate efforts related to areas of common interest. This meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 5, 1983. ADJOURNMENT TO EXECUTIVE SESSION The Council adjourned to executive session to consider possible pending legal litigation. At the conclusion of the executive session, the Council reconvened the meeting with all members present except Cm. Jeffery (excused for vacation). ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 12:40 a.m. ATTEST: City Clerk CM-1-164
