In the years since its inception, CHASE has launched and supported many programs <br /> directed at drug and alcohol awareness and formed collaborative programs with other <br /> organizations with similar goals. <br /> Lodestro spoke to her own son's problems with addictions and his efforts to remain <br /> sober. She believed it was important for the community to become more aware of the <br /> very complex problem affecting the communities' youth. <br /> Lodestro requested Council consideration of additional funding to support their programs <br /> and "Sober Events". Additionally, she requested consideration of appointing a <br /> councilmember representative to their five member board or the recommendation of a <br /> Los Altos Hills community leader to serve in that capacity. <br /> Council thanked Lodestro for her presentation and congratulated her on the development <br /> of alternative events for youth. It was suggested that her request for funding be forwarded <br /> to the Town during the grant review process and supplemental background information <br /> be provided at that time to support the request for any increase in the previous allocated <br /> funding. <br /> Council consensus was to continue the board appointment to the next Council meeting to <br /> afford an opportunity to review potential resident recommendations. <br /> 2. Appointment to Standing Committee <br /> A. Environmental Initiatives Committee— 1 vacancy <br /> Mayor Jones, with the consensus of Council, reorganized the agenda to consider agenda <br /> item 15 prior to the appointments. <br /> Following the approval of the amendment to the Standing Environmental Initiatives <br /> Committee's membership (agenda item 15); the City Council consensus was that it was <br /> appropriate to appoint both candidates to the committee. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Mordo and <br /> passed unanimously to appoint residents Lew Jamison and Steve Schmidt to the EIC for <br /> four year terms. <br /> Mayor Jones encouraged the committee to continue their efforts in resolving conservation <br /> issues. He suggested that they consider scheduling a meeting with Assemblymember Ira <br /> Ruskin to discuss state issues regarding solar rebates and benefit programs. Additionally, <br /> he encouraged them to think about "carrots" for residents to stimulate their home <br /> conservation interests. <br /> 2 Regular City Meeting Minutes <br /> January 10,2008 <br />
