its conflict-of-interest code biennially. Following review of the code appendix, it was determined that certain amendments should be made to the Town's List of Designated Employees. The recommendations included: deletion of titles Public Works Manager, Town Planner; the addition of titles Finance Manger, Associate Engineer, Senior Planner and Associate Planner; and, revision to the Planning Technician title to Building /Planning Technician. In addition to the amendments to the List of Designated Employees, the City Attorney had identified two additional minor code modifications. The first modification was to delete reference to the Appendix and replace that list with a list approved by City Council resolution. The proposed change would avoid having to process an ordinance amendment every two years. The second ordinance amendment related to identification of the maximum value of any gift that a designated official or employee might receive. The current amount under state law is $420 per year. It was noted that both the City Attorney and City Clerk had reviewed the proposed amendments.

Consideration of Ordinance Amending Title 6, Chapter 4, Section 6-4.435, of the • Los Altos Hills Municipal Code,Regarding Sewer System Connection fees for secondary dwelling units (Staff. R. Chiu) City Engineer Richard Chiu introduced the item to Council. Chiu summarized his report. At their September 16, 2010 meeting, the Council had directed staff to return to the Council with a draft ordinance that would clarify that a secondary dwelling unit on a single residential parcel would not be assessed an additional Sewer Connection Fee. Chiu reviewed the current code that authorized the Town to charge for each new and additional connection to the public sanitary sewer system. The fee amount is based on the number of fixture units. The proposed ordinance would amend the provision with a provision that secondary dwelling units not be required to pay the fee provided that the sum of the fixture units for all dwelling units on the parcel did not exceed sixty (60) fixtures. For parcels where the addition of the secondary dwelling unit results in the total number of fixture units exceeding sixty (60), then the applicant would be charged a proportionate amount of the formula for the connection. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Warshawsky, seconded by Mordo and passed unanimously to waive reading and introduce Ordinance No. 524 amending Title 6, Chapter 4, Section 6-4.435 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code, regarding Sewer System Connection fees for secondary dwelling units. 8 Approved City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 21,2010
