Council discussion ensued regarding policies and procedures going forward. All projects that have a cost of $25,000 or more must come to the City Council and not be done in a piecemeal manner. MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Swan moved to reprimand the City Manager for not getting prior Council approval and not following city procedures and possibly creating a huge mess. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mok. City Attorney Mattas said that the topic to reprimand the City Manager is not on the agenda and the Council would have to separately agendize that for any consideration of action. The only action the Council could take at this time is to consider accepting the report. Alternatively, the Council could continue the item to another meeting, but either action would require a majority vote of the City Council Public Comment Allan Epstein, Los Altos Hills, said there are a couple of policy related issues that do need to be addressed. He thinks the municipal code should be clarified as it relates to purchasing authority for a single project. Mayor Tankha suggested bringing back to the Council a clarification of the municipal code and budget policy considerations. Further Council discussion ensued. MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Schmidt moved to accept the report. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Tyson.
