From: City of Pleasanton <br />To: Pleasanton City Clerk <br />Subject: City Clerk Form submitted on City of Pleasanton <br />Date: Sunday, July 13, 2025 2:31:53 PM <br />Your <br />Name <br />Your <br />Email <br />Phyllis Couper <br />Subject property transfer tax, Charter City, card rooms, etc., county properties <br />Message Dear Mayor and City Council Members, <br />I heard that a property transfer tax is being proposed on sale of homes in Pleasanton. <br />This seems like over stepping into areas not appropriate for a city council. You're not <br />a bank or other lending institution or a mortgage business. It rings like a form of <br />extortion. Becoming a charter city is a great idea. Card rooms, cannibus influx, <br />negative influences in our city. May make money, but destroys the dignity of our city. <br />Leave county areas out of city. There are enough problems in the city as is. <br />Regarding new high densities, hopefully they can be built like the Kensington <br />condo/apartments off Bernal Ave on Gateway. Really lovely and an asset to <br />Pleasanton. Please no three and four story institution style "future slums of America" <br />apartments like those covering the East side of Dublin. <br />Thank you, <br />Phyllis Couper <br />
