Jones noted that the Los Altos School District had announced an extended Kindergarten <br /> program to be offered at the Bullis site. He questioned where the funding was coming <br /> • from for the new program and what programs would need to be cut to support it and the <br /> motivation of the District. <br /> Councilmember Warshawsky explained that he supported the City Council continuing <br /> their efforts to return Bullis Charter School to Town and to protect the zoning laws of the <br /> Town but was not prepared at this time to endorse redistricting without additional <br /> information. <br /> Councihnember Mordo requested clarification on what the Committee was requesting <br /> from Council. <br /> MacMillan explained that they were hopeful that when a citizen group came forward with <br /> a viable proposal, that the Council would listen to their proposal and consider it <br /> favorably. He reminded the Council that the new Superintendent has stated that he would <br /> take time to assimilate the culture but that he was employed by the Los Altos School <br /> District Board. <br /> Mayor O'Malley thanked the Committee for their work and the development of the <br /> options for Council review. He looked forward to hearing proposals from the citizen <br /> groups. <br /> Council concurred that it would be helpful to have the Committee continue as a fact <br /> gathering body and to provide information to the Council on an as needed basis regarding <br /> reorganization. They could also provide "fact checking/fmding" of the proposals from <br /> the citizens groups. <br /> COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS <br /> Councilmember Mordo reported that the Community Relations Committee was seeking <br /> permission to invite the City of Los Altos City Council, City Manager, Chamber of <br /> Commerce President and new Superintendent of Schools to the Town picnic. <br /> City Council consensus was to extend the invitations as requested by the Community <br /> Relations Committee. <br /> Mordo announced that Library Measure A had passed; Measure B failed.
