John Swan, 12301 Burke Road, clarified that there is no request at this time from his <br /> group for funding. <br /> Councilmember Fenwick reiterated his position on the formation of a Town Committee <br /> for this project. He suggested that a Citizens Group would be more productive. Town <br /> Committees actions are often restricted and they are not permitted to speak for the Town <br /> without prior Council approval and this can be very limiting. <br /> Councilmember Kerr explained that it has been difficult for citizen's to negotiate with the <br /> School District. <br /> Mayor Cheng expressed her support for having a public school in Town. Cheng believes, <br /> however, it is important to have a clear understanding of the wishes of the residences <br /> before forming and funding a new Town Committee. Many residents are happy with their <br /> prospective school districts and their opinions should be heard. Cheng agreed with <br /> Fenwick that a Citizen's Group would better serve this request. <br /> Council discussion ensued. It was determined that this issue should be heard by the full <br /> City Council. <br /> PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To continue Agenda Item 6.2 Consideration of a <br /> Request for Council Creation of a "Cow Bell" Committee to Reinstate a Public <br /> Elementary School in Los Altos Hills to the next Regular City Council Meeting of July <br /> 17, 2003. <br /> 6.3 Consideration of Appointment of a Council Liaison to the Supporters of <br /> Westwind Community Barn <br /> Carolyn Appel, 27575 Black Mountain Road, Director of the "Supporters of Westwind <br /> Community Barn". Appel explained that the nonprofit group has been formed to support <br /> Westwind Barn as an asset for the community and the mission of the Supporters of <br /> Westwind Community Barn is to restore and maintain Westwind Community Barn in <br /> perpetuity; to provide environmental, educational, and arts programs at the site; and to <br /> protect and preserve the natural environment of the site and open space. Appel, on behalf <br /> of the foundation, was seeking a Council Liaison to keep the communications open with <br /> the Town.. <br /> Following Council discussion it was determined that Councilmember Warshawsky had a <br /> "real property conflict" and could not serve. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Fenwick, seconded by Kerr and <br /> passed unanimously to elect Mayor Pro Tem O'Malley as the Council Liaison to the <br /> Supporters of Westwind Community Barn. <br /> • <br /> 10 City Council Meeting Minutes <br /> June 19,2003 <br />
