2 <br /> City Council Special Meeting Minutes <br /> January 25, 2022 <br /> <br />City Manager Peter Pirnejad presented the review of the 2021 work plan and an <br />update for the key 2021 Projects that fit within the framework. A total of 13 projects, <br />which are outside of the day-to-day operations of the Town, were reviewed with the <br />Council and members of the public. <br /> <br />Council discussion ensued. <br /> <br />Councilmember Tankha proposed a motion as follows: <br /> <br />MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Tankha moved to establish <br />a Town Hall committee that will evaluate the needs of the community, work with staff <br />to understand the needs of staff in terms of office space presently and 10 years out. This <br />Committee would look at options for a town hall addition, remodel, or expansion. <br />Secondly, conduct a town-wide survey to understand the priorities of town residents in <br />terms of their needs and what they would like the town’s budget to be in addressing <br />those needs. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Swan. <br /> <br />Council discussion ensued. The motion was tabled until the end of the meeting. <br /> <br />Public Comment <br /> <br />Rajiv Bhateja, Los Altos Hills, complimented the City Council on having this <br />meeting as it is valuable for staff and helpful for residents. He said that we do not <br />have a committee to cover public safety concerns. He thought it would be great if the <br />Town would consider creating a public safety committee to look at safety in all <br />dimensions. <br /> <br />Allan Epstein, Los Altos Hills, complimented the Council on having this <br />session. He commented on Councilmember Tankha's motion and talked about <br />community space. He said that the Town should focus on multi-year projects and that <br />milestones need to be reported. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Swan responded that the Council just created a law enforcement ad hoc <br />committee, and she envisions that public safety would be discussed there but said <br />that a committee might be more appropriate. <br /> <br />The meeting went into recess at 10:22 a.m. <br />The meeting Reconvened to open session at 10:35 a.m. <br /> <br />C. Public Comment (Public Comment is Limited to Items which are the Subject of the <br />Special Meeting) <br /> <br />D. Recommendation to Approve a 2022 Work Plan <br />
