Where to get Sandbags in Pleasanton?
I have been looking out my office window on Main St. in Pleasanton all day and the rain is border line annoying. Leave it to wonderful City of Pleasanton to help in this time of flooding. If you are concerned about flooding at your home or business, the City of Pleasanton provides sandbags for your use. The City of Pleasanton Service Center located at 3333 Busch Rd. has set out sandbags under a blue tarp for your use! Not a bad idea. They ask that you don’t take too many though.

Pleasanton Hotel Closing End of Year
Info Pleasanton reports The Pleasanton Hotel is closing at the end of the year. The current Pleasanton Hotel restaurant owner Bill Laube notified many wedding and banquet bookings that he was unable to commit to their desired bookings as he negotiated the lease with the buildings owner Sue Martinovich. Since the early 80′s, the Laube’s have operated the restaurant in the Pleasanton Hotel.
So what will become of The Pleasanton Hotel? The current owner, Sue Martinovich plans to renovate the Pleasanton Hotel in an attempt to attract a ‘younger’ crowd.
With current establishments like Redcoats capturing this crowd in Downtown Pleasanton, it can only be a benefit to the owner and that of Downtown Pleasanton to change and become more like Walnut Creek and parts of Danville. Info Pleasanton also hears the former Union Jack Pub will soon become an establishment catering to a younger crowd as well. Can’t tell you the source, but it won’t be a Cuban restaurant…

Pleasanton School District to Pay $2.6 Million Neal School
The Pleasanton School District will pay $2.6 Million to Signature Properties and Standard Pacific to settle a long 7 year battle over the Neal Elementary school in Pleasanton.
In 2001 the Pleasanton School District estimated $8.5 Million was needed to build the school. In 2002 the price jumped to $13.5 Million when John Casey was named Superintendent and reevaluated the cost to build the school.
As you can guess one side says there was a legal agreement to build the school and the other said there wasn’t. $2.1Million is being paid by the Pleasanton School District towards the legal fees of 5 years and $500,000 for architectural plans for the developers.
After years of battling between the Pleasanton School District and the developers, the Pleasanton School District will be hiring the same law firm who represented the builders to represent the Pleasanton School District to seek a judgment against the original law firm the Pleasanton School District hired. The District is seeking $4.5 Million from their original law firm.
Looks like the battle is not over yet.
