Mayor Jones clarified that no vote had been taken by the City Council regarding specific <br /> expenditures for Westwind Community Barn. The Standing Westwind Community Barn <br /> Committee was currently examining options for renovations to the Barn that included a <br /> feasibility study that was being funded by the Council and Supporters of Westwind on a <br /> 50/50 basis. The Town's share was $32,500. Kerr added that the proposal for the study <br /> was currently under review by the City Manager. <br /> Jan Fenwick, resident, commented that she was pleased to hear that the Town _was <br /> discussing a proposal to gain access for Town residents to Foothills Park and was hopeful <br /> that this could ultimately resolve the issue of funding for Palo Alto Fire Station No.8. <br /> Fenwick suggested that Los Altos Hills County Fire District should consider participating <br /> in the costs associated with maintaining the station. <br /> Duffy Price, resident, noted that she was speaking as a citizen not as the President of Los <br /> Altos Hills County Fire District. She acknowledged that the District would discuss the <br /> current situation at their next meeting. Price explained that for the past two years during <br /> the fire season on designated high fire hazard days, County Fire patrols were dispatched <br /> in the Hills to monitor the situation. The District has also funded improvements to water <br /> mains and hydrants in the area as a fire safety measure. <br /> PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT <br /> Planning Director Debbie Pedro reported that the Planning Commission at their June 28, <br /> 2007 meeting had considered and approved two site development projects.

The recommendations and policy would be <br /> presented to the City Council at their next regularly scheduled meeting. <br /> UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> None <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> None <br /> REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, SUB-COMMITTEES, AND COUNCILMEMBERS <br /> ON OUTSIDE AGENCIES <br /> No Report <br /> 4 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br /> July 12,2007 <br />
