DRAFT Page 13 Commissioner Roberts noted that the discussion of retailing and shopping followed the discussion of a regional economy. She believed it would be important to realize what Livermore is doing, i.e., a retail outlet right offEl Charro Road. Ms. Stem believed that Ms. Ou and the EVC tracked that kind of activity on a regular basis. Commissioner Roberts noted that there was no mention in the report. Page 14 There were no comments. Page 15 Commissioner Blank believed that it would be appropriate to add language encouraging green initiatives. Page 16 There were no comments. Page 17 Commissioner Blank pointed out the language, "Encourage the location of a UC Extension facility in Pleasanton," followed by "Facilitate free or low-cost wireless." He inquired what the difference was between encouraging and facilitating an item. Ms. Stern noted that they could be similar and that an example of facilitating could be in developing a contract. Commission Pearce believed it was more neutral than facilitating. Commissioner Blank believed that both items should be both encouraged and facilitated. Commissioner Roberts believed that it was decided that the free wireless broadband would only be available in public places. Ms. Stern noted that was being debated by the EVC, and that they wished to be consistent but also explore other areas in the future. Pages 18 - 22 There were no comments. Page 23 Commissioner Blank believed that with respect to the language "Initiate a Shop Pleasanton campaign," it would be nice to have an incentive program for shopping in Pleasanton. Ms. OU noted that idea had been brought forward by the Chamber of Commerce. Commissioner Blank noted that in his business dealings, he consistently received comments from his staff and out-of-town visitors that there did not appear to be a large number of upscale business-oriented restaurants that could be appropriate for entertaining clients.
