Council discussion ensued. Mayor Pro Tem Kerr requested that the Committee return in <br /> the future with a proposal for membership fees for Westwind Community Barn. There <br /> was a concurrence that the market comparison was appropriate and the requested <br /> reduction in user fees was minimal and could potentially increase participation in the <br /> riding programs. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by Summit and <br /> passed by the following voice vote to adopt the revised user fees for the Summer Riding <br /> Camps. <br /> AYES: Mayor Warshawsky,Mayor Pro Tem Kerr, Councilmember Mordo and <br /> Councilmember Summit <br /> NOES: Councilmember Larsen <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> 12. Approval of Amendment to the Town of Los Altos Hills Personnel Rules and <br /> Regulations (Staff.N. Pegueros) <br /> Councilmember Larsen requested clarification of the item. Larsen explained that with the <br /> current economy, he questioned the need to increase the overtime pay for call-out from <br /> one and a half to double the regular hourly rate. He noted that there were very few <br /> emergencies that warranted the maintenance crew being called in to work after hours. <br /> • City Engineer Richard Chiu explained that in-house labor was less costly than calling in <br /> contract labor for after hour emergencies that often included a charge by the contractor for <br /> use of their equipment. Chiu added that the Town's crew had a better familiarity with the <br /> Town's streets and had ready access to the Town's equipment. <br /> MOTION MADE AND WITHDRAWN: Moved by Larsen to maintain the current Call- <br /> Out Pay at one and a half regular hourly rate. Motion was withdrawn. <br /> City Manager Cahill explained that offering the incentive pay to the employee to respond <br /> after hours and on the weekends was far less than private sector costs. He offered to <br /> return to the City Council with the costs incurred after a one year trial of the new hourly <br /> rate. The City Engineer would be responsible for assessing when the after hours work <br /> was needed. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by Summit and <br /> passed unanimously to adopt the proposed amendment to the Personnel Rules and <br /> Regulations. Resolution No. 10-10 <br /> PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> Barbara Mordo, resident, requested Council consideration of scheduling for the next <br /> agenda, discussion of Council support for the proposed parcel tax for the local library. <br /> The Ballot Measure will be on the June ballot and voted on by Los Altos and Los Altos <br /> 4 City Council Special Meeting Minutes <br /> February 18,2010 <br />
