Town's Little League Fields: • City Engineer Richard Chiu reported that an initial meeting of the "stakeholders" had been held. The expectation was for the preliminary conceptual drawings to be available for review at the end of February and for the contract documents to be before Council for their consideration mid-May. Construction was tentatively scheduled for mid-July and would last for approximately three months. Council asked for the plans to be agendized for the City Council's comments at the first meeting in March. 14B. Return Public Elementary School Education to Los Altos Hills Mayor Jones advised Council that the letter authorized by the City Council to Superintendent Skelly, Palo Alto Unified School District had been sent. The letter expressed their concerns that the Fremont Hills site appeared to be in a permanent state of rental to a private school and was not being included on any agenda for consideration of improvements to the campus. Jones noted that he had a personal conversation with Dr. Skelly regarding the correspondence and the Superintendent was currently drafting a response. Duncan MacMillan provided an update to Council on recent education issues. The Los Altos School District Board, at their last meeting, had approved a proposal for intra- district transfers to Bullis-Purissima Elementary School to have equal preference with • inter-district transfers. Inter-district transfers (from PAUSD) would be viable for seven years with the intra-district transfers requiring an annual application. The Town's advertisements in the Town Crier and Palo Alto Daily notifying residents of the time frame for priority registration for intra-district transfers had been published. MacMillan noted that the full day LASD Kindergarten program was currently slated to continue at the Bullis campus with the final vote by the District Board scheduled for next week. He believed for the new school to be successful it was imperative that it be identified as a K- 6 campus. 14C. Develop a Plan for Expanded Sewer Access to More Residents Councilmember Mike O'Malley reported that the Ad Hoc Infrastructure Committee would be reporting their findings to the Council on the sewer survey results at the second council meeting in February. 14D.
