PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR Jim Steiner, 14195 Wild Plum Lane, stated that he wanted to offer a personal opinion but one that he felt was shared by most if not all of the Town of Los Altos Hills on the very fine job that Mayor Emeritus Bob Johnson has done during the past year. Elayne very correctly identified that he's had a very difficult year in which to be Mayor and the contentious issue of the Planning Commission just underscores that difficulty because it's been a highly polarized issue within the Town and Bob has worked to generate a team spirit. He's worked to be fair to both sides. He has done this with a great deal of grace and I think the Town owes him an enormous debt of gratitude. Bob,you have my plaudits for a super job. Finally, I would like to congratulate Elayne and Steve on your new positions. We wish you well and you have our full support. Good luck. June 17, 1999 Regular City Council Meeting 6
