8.1 City Manager <br /> • City Manager Cassingham reported that staff had been evaluating the option of a 9/80 <br /> workweek for Town Hall. A trial of the new hours would become effective November 1, <br /> 2004. Cassingham explained that the 9/80 schedule would permit longer customer <br /> service hours (7:30-5:30 Monday through Friday),permit staff to work more productively <br /> with one day off every other week, and would reduce staff commute trips to work. The <br /> trial schedule would coincide with the grading moratorium and would be for a three <br /> month period. Cassingham noted that if there were any problems within this period, staff <br /> would immediately review the program and if necessary return to the 40 hour work week. <br /> There has been good staff support for the schedule and staff has undergone cross training <br /> for cross-position coverage. <br /> 8.2 City Attorney <br /> 8.3 City Clerk <br /> 8.3.1 Report on Council Correspondence <br /> 9.

He presented a <br /> background summary of the Elmberg subdivision approval. The Planning Commission in <br /> 1986 had recommended approval for the Lands of Elmberg four-lot subdivision with the <br /> condition that the applicant enter into an agreement to preserve the significant mature oak <br /> trees on the lots, specifically the 30 inch tree on Parcel 4. The City Council approved the <br /> subdivision in July 1986 and pursuant to the Commission's recommendations, Mr. <br /> Elmberg prepared a Declaration of Covenants Conditions, Restrictions and Easements <br /> which was recorded by the County. In this document, Mr. Elmberg agreed to care for and <br /> preserve the mature oak trees and that no such tree would be removed or destroyed <br /> without the permission of the Town. <br /> Garcia noted that he and Planning Director Cahill had meet with Elmberg's realtor, Ky <br /> Nyborg at the site in June, 2004 to discuss a large oak tree on parcel 4. Mr. Nyborg <br /> explained that the tree was interfering with the sale and development of the lot. Nyborg <br /> 8 City Council Meeting Minutes <br /> October 21,2004 <br />
