The City Attorney explained that the Fire District could contract with the �. County for weed abatement services within the District. An ordinance would have to be adopted setting forth the procedure (declaring the weeds a nuisance, sending notices to the property owners, abating the nuisance and holding hearings) and the Town would have to amend its Municipal Code. John Toth, Santa Clara County Weed Abatement Inspector, gave an overview of the County's weed abatement schedule. He noted that discing was done twice a year and herbicides were not used around homes if that was what the jurisdiction requested. Also they were looking into brush removal and a report would be made at a later date on that issue. Council agreed that an agreement should be entered into with the County for weed abatement services with the County as the lead agency. As a matter of policy no herbicides would be used around homes, no discing within ten feet of pathways and spraying only along roadsides. It was further agreed that the City Attorney and Councilmembers and Members of the Los Altos County Fire Protection Commission Hubbard and Siegel would work with the County representatives on the appropriate wording of the agreement. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously to agree that the Los Altos County Fire ` Protection Distict should enter into an agreement with Santa Clara County for `r weed abatement services with the County as the lead agency and to direct the City Attorney to bring back an ordinance modification reflecting this motion. 3.
