Richard Ryon, Livermore The Livermore City Councilâs Meeting Agenda for April 6, 2021 had Item 6.3: âDiscussion and Direction regarding the City Councilâs commitment to a culture of welcome, inclusion and respect and the comments made by Planning Commissioner Stein at the Planning Commission Meeting on April 20, 2021, as well as the complaints received from the community.â This item is viewed by some of us to be preparation to fire John Stein from his place on the Planning Commission at the next City Council meeting. Firing John Stein from the Planning Commission appears to be simple retribution for his being the sole vote on the Planning Commission against the bait-and-switch Eden Housing proposal for the vacant city-owned property in the heart of downtown Livermore. This plan has the support of the Livermore City Council and therefore the City staff. The excuse for firing Commissioner Stein is some remarks he made about grouping low-cost housing in one big complex.
