• 4.5 Request for Temporary Elimination of No Parking Zone and Use of Amplified Sound on Purissima Road During Major Events—Los Altos Hills Little League 4.6 Approval of the Quarterly Interest Report 4.7 Approval of Extension of the Zanker Road Recycle Facility Yard Waste Drop-Off Program for Los Altos Hills Residents Reso #7-03 4.8 Acceptance of 2002 Sewer Cleaning&Video Inspection Work Reso#8-03 Item Removed: 4.9 Acceptance of the Tracy Court Bridge Project Reso#9-03 Councilmember O'Malley expressed frustration in justifying the expense of approximately $300,000 for the repair of a bridge that serves only four lots as a connection to a major road. He asked staff to explain the Town's obligation for this project. Staff stated that the bridge was built in the late 1970's as a subdivision improvement requirement and dedicated to the Town..It has since been reviewed by the Town's engineering consultant, Mark Thomas, and found to have not been built to approved standards. Because of the length of time since approval, Town has no recourse with the subdivider or contractor. Councilmember O'Malley recommended that in the review process of subdivisions, Council be made aware of projects that could pose a potential financial liability to the Town. Any similar prospective project should be built to standards that would ensure an appropriate life span of the bridge and be closely monitored by the Town or the Town should not accept the dedication and the street should remain private. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Cheng, seconded by Fenwick and passed unanimously to accept the Tracy Court Replacement Bridge Project. 5.
