and time to the community. Siegel expressed concern that with so many projects <br />under discussion, the Council should clarify their priorities for the committee. <br />Council agreed that the data base project was of primary importance and one <br />particular staff person should be assigned to work with the committee on this <br />project. It was further agreed that the City Manager would determine priorities for <br />this committee as he was closely involved with priority needs at Town Hall. <br />Johnson reported that one project the committee had been working on was the <br />computerization of the Town Code but Council discussed this issue and decided that <br />it was not a priority issue. <br />Addressing the yardwaste center program, Siegel commented that the present site <br />needed to be upgraded and Johnson offered the suggestion of moving the <br />corporation yard to another location and expanding the yardwaste site where it was <br />presently located. The City Manager noted that he had a meeting scheduled with <br />Jon Angin of the Los Altos Garbage Company to discuss these issues. <br />Regarding the update of the General Plan, Council agreed to focus this year on three <br />elements: Housing, Pathway and Circulation. <br />Council agreed that the Personnel Rules and Regulations needed to be updated but <br />did not agree with hiring a consultant to achieve this goal. Instead they <br />recommended contacting ABAG or the League of California Cities to obtain samples <br />of personnel policy manuals. It was also suggested that any costs of updating the <br />personnel manual might be shared with neighboring cities who also needed their <br />personnel manuals updated. <br />Council agreed that one of the goals for 1995-96 should be the following: To amend <br />Zoning and Site Development ordinances to strengthen certain provisions and to <br />correlate with current practice for clarification of the Town's objectives and to clarify <br />and simply areas of differences. <br />Concerning infrastructure, Council agreed that a clear policy statement was needed <br />on the issue of public vs. private. Siegel suggested the possibility of signing private <br />streets. Council agreed that the City Manager should write an article on this issue <br />for the September Newsletter. This article should be reviewed by Council prior to <br />going in the newsletter. <br />Casey believed there was a need for a detailed plan of the entire Town for the <br />completion of paths. Hubbard supported the use of funds for the maintenance of <br />paths and a discussion followed on the use of crew time and hiring extra help. <br />Council agreed that a discussion of the status of the paths and the costs of obtaining <br />and maintaining them would be appropriate at the time of Capital Improvement <br />Budget Hearings. <br />July 19, 1995 <br />Adjourned Regular Meeting <br />
