Councilmember O'Malley requested that the item be scheduled for Council discussion at a future meeting. City Manager Cahill clarified that the issue of the path's realignment and the required timeline for trimming the trees were different issues and suggested that they should be addressed separately. He advised that a professional arborist should be the one to determine if trimming one side of the identified trees presented any safety issues. Clyde Noel, Dawnridge Drive, extended an invitation to the City Council to a presentation on local government to be held at the Los Altos Town Hall at 7:00 p.m. The scheduled session is part of the Leadership Program, "LEAD" offered by the Los Altos Community Foundation. Eric Clow, Central Drive, commented that he had attended the neighborhood meeting at Westwind Barn that had been scheduled at the facility to provide on update on the restoration plans. He concurred that there were valid safety reasons for the proposed parking plan but hoped that mitigation measures to screen the parked cars from the road could be acted on quickly. He suggested that planting fast growing shrubs this spring would diffuse some of the negative sentiment regarding the parking area. PUBLIC HEARINGS 12.
