9. COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS <br /> 9.1 Consideration of Memorial for Sergeant William Sigua, Los Altos Hills. <br /> Mayor Dean Warshawsky introduced to this item to Council. Council had before them <br /> the official casualty announcement for members of Congress and Governors from the <br /> Department of the Army announcing the loss of Sergeant William Sigua, 21, of Los Altos <br /> Hills. Sergeant Sigua died on January 31, 2007 in Bayji, Iraq, in support of Operation <br /> Iraqi Freedom. According to the initial reports, Sergeant Sigua died when his dismounted <br /> patrol received small arms fire. Included with the Department of the Army's <br /> correspondence was a letter to Friends and Family of William Sigua from Captain Tim <br /> Peterman and First Sergeant Micheal Green speaking to his leadership. <br /> Council discussed a fitting Town memorial to honor William Sigua. Council concurred <br /> that it would be appropriate to consult with the family to see if they had a preference. <br /> Council deemed the Community Relations Committee would be the most suitable Town <br /> representatives to work with the Sigua family. <br /> 10. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> Jitze Couperus, Page Mill Road, member of the Adobe Creek Collaborative, provided a <br /> project status report to Council. He expected the draft EIR and draft report from the <br /> Project Engineer to be available for comment on April 17, 2007. Couperus believed that <br /> • government agencies involved with the project and residents affected by the project were <br /> in favor of the latest design. He expected the vote on the Adobe Creek project by the <br /> Santa Clara Valley Water District Board of Directors to be scheduled for their <br /> consideration in July or August and if approved, construction to begin in summer 2008. <br /> Councilmember O'Malley thanked Couperus and members of the Collaborative for their <br /> continuing efforts on the project. <br /> Renne Hannebrink, Moody Road, addressed Council. Council had before them a letter <br /> dated March 6, 2007 from Renne and David Hannebrink. Hannebrink spoke to the letter <br /> and accompanying photographs and voiced her concerns on the recent work being done <br /> on the Moody Road pathway project and the negative impact it had on their property. She <br /> requested that the work be temporarily stopped until the issues she outlined in her letter <br /> could be addressed. Hannebrink reviewed the damage that had occurred to the trees at <br /> her home and the lack of communication from the Town regarding the project. <br /> David Hannebrink, Moody Road, spoke to his concerns regarding the Moody Road <br /> pathway project outlined in the letter before Council. He reviewed his proposed "next <br /> steps" that included: the Town's consideration of a narrower path and a review of their <br /> property with a landscape architect. Hannebrink expressed his opposition to the pathway <br /> project and reiterated its negative impact on their property. He requested that the <br /> construction on the project be stopped until he had the opportunity to meet with Town <br /> • staff and resolve the issues.
