City Seeks Members for East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force

Applications are currently being accepted for Pleasanton’s new East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force.

The Task Force will guide the planning effort for an approximate 1,000-acre area in east Pleasanton which was formerly the site of sand and gravel mining.  The Task Force will propose new uses and a circulation system for the site, and will recommend a plan to provide and finance the necessary infrastructure.

The City Council is seeking representatives from several surrounding neighborhoods, as well as five at-large members selected by the City Council. All applicants shall be residents of the city of Pleasanton and willing to attend at least one or two meetings per month for a period of one year or more. The City seeks task force members who are able to do background reading and research, work collaboratively, and strive for clear communication, a balanced perspective and inclusion of a wide range of viewpoints.

Interested parties should submit completed applications to the City Clerk’s office by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 7, 2012.  The Pleasanton City Council will confirm the members of the task force at the Tuesday, June 19, 2012 City Council meeting (tentative date).
