Pleasanton council weighs building permit steps and rail station fate
Pleasanton council votes 4 to 1 to study steps to issue a private building permit for Arkerman property despite 1955 sewer and water go ahead. Mayor Cairo notes past commitments while Masonheimer warns against eroding laws. Separately, the council delays Southern Pacific Station closure plans and approves a $19,000 fire truck rental. An estimate calls for 3.4 million to double street mileage over 14 years, with 21 miles of streets by 1871 including a $200,000 Main Street bridge. Invitations to the Firemen's Barbecue at the fairgrounds Aug 20 are accepted.
