F. OLD BUSINESS : (continued) : interest . At the 3/18/87 Council Meeting a resolution establishing a policy concerning voting on land use matters was adopted. Specifically, this policy stated: ' No member of a Commission or Committee or of the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills shall vote on any application concerning or dealing with the use of land, or any portion or aspect thereof , which is before a Commission or Committee or the City Council itself if the member owns or leases real property within three hundred feet of the property which is the subject of the application, in order to avoid the appearance of any potential conflict of interest. ' Casey stated that Commissioner Emling had consistently voted on the Lands of Bellucci and this was in direct violation of the Town' s policy. She had just attended a League of California Cities Conference at which the subject of conflict of interest had been addressed. Casey commented that this was not just a violation of a Town policy but also in violation of State Law. This was a serious issue and Casey suggested agendizing this matter for the next Council meeting at which time a full Council would be present . The City Attorney stated that the members of the Commission and the Committees served at the pleasure of the Council . He recommended that this matter be agendized and Commissioner Emling be notified in 11111, writing that this matter would be discussed at the next meeting. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To agendize possible censure of Planning Commissioner Edward Emling' s alleged violation of the Town' s Land Use Voting Policy for the next meeting and to notify Commissioner Emling in writing that this matter will be on the agenda. In addition an item addressing procedures and policies for Councilmembers and Commissioners will be agendized for the next meeting. 2 .
