REPORT OF CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE (JOHN EDMANDS) VALLEY COMMUNITIES ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES ORGANIZATION Mr. John Edmands of 4672 2nd Street, Pleasanton, California, reported to the Council on the above matter stating that for one year he has acted as the repre- sentative of the City Council to the V.C.E.0.0. and that he felt an annual report of some kind was in order. He went on to relate the background of the organization and the programs that have been carried out with Federal assistance in the past few months. Mr. Edmands indicated that it was very important for the City Council to keep cur- rent in these matters, and he admonished that these programs probably won't stop but will simply take on other names and grow in scope and financial need. In this regard the City should watch these programs carefully in order to make certain that these programs do not become a financial burden on the City. He went on to say that problems of pre school education and housing will be problems that the City Council must deal with in the future and that they should be prepared to cope with them when they arise. After some questions by the Council, Mr. Edmands was thanked for his service as the Council representative and for his attendance at the meetings of V.C.E.0.0. PUBLIC HEARINGS were not scheduled for this meeting. REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Report of the Planning Commission re: Approval of Tentative Subdivision Map, Tract No. 2802 (Vintage Hills) Mr. Fales reported that the above matter was an informational item and that the Planning Commission had already approved the Map. He went on to say that there were several changes that were made to the Tentative Map which were required by the Planning Commission. These changes generally involved the reduction of commercial use and multiple family units, and the increase of single family lots. The City Council instructed the staff to obtain certain engineering information on the fence that was to be constructed so that the Council could examine the situation in the field at their own convenience.
