She noted that in Los Altos Hills it was a ceremonial office, <br /> not a specifically elected one and she was disturbed that at this <br /> meeting the offices were not being vacated. Siegel concurred with van <br /> Tamelen' s comments that it was important to continue the policy of <br /> rotation. He did state, however, that for personal reasons this was <br /> not a good year for him to assume the responsibilities of Mayor. In <br /> the future, however, he hoped to serve the Town as Mayor. <br /> -2- <br /> 4/19/88 <br />
