(2)Undergrounding of Utilities Duffy Price, 26435 Anacapa Drive, Ad Hoc Undergrounding Committee member represented Councilmember Warshawsky in his absence and updated Council on the progress that has been made by the Committee to date. She reported they would be submitting an augmented budget request this evening. The Committee is seeking additional funds for consulting services from R.W. Beck and is presently refining the marketing survey and educational component of their budget. Council had before them a detail of the Committee's budget request. Mayor Pro Tem O'Malley clarified that this request would only be a line item in the Town's FY 2003-2004 Budget and the Undergrounding Committee would return to Council for approval of each segment and expense. Price concurred. Jim Abraham, 12831 Viscaino Road, Ad Hoc Undergrounding Committee member addressed Council. He explained that the previous substantial costs for consulting services from R.W. Beck also included legal fees. Abraham noted the Beck consultants have been very helpful during the most recent investigation of Undergrounding of Utilities. They have provided their services pro bono. Abraham added that there is still a great deal of information to be harvested from the consultants. He feels that some of the tasks outlined in the revised budget request could be done in-house to reduce costs.

(4) View Protection Ordinance Adopted June 5, 2003 5.2 Consideration of Agreement between Peter Duxbury, Duxbury Architects and the Town of Los Altos Hills for Architectural Services for the New Town Hall City Manager Maureen Cassingham summarized this item for Council. She noted that on May 15, 2003, the City Council directed staff to work with Councilmember Kerr, New Town Hall Committee Chair and Peter Duxbury, Duxbury Architects, on a proposed agreement for architectural services for Council consideration on June 5, 2003. Because of time constraints, it was determined that the Town and Mr. Duxbury would work from the 1997 Edition of the AIA Standard Form of Architect's Services. There was an agreement by the parties on eight key issues that were presented to Council at their June 5 Meeting. The items ranged from basic scope of services, basic fee on a not-to-exceed basis, type of insurance to be carried by the architect and the architect's standard of care. Because there was not time to incorporate those issues into the 1997 Edition for Council to act on June 5, they directed staff to bring back the final form of the agreement incorporating those components for action at tonight's meeting. • 5 City Council Meeting Minutes June 19,2003
