A. STUDY SESSION: 1988-89 FISCAL YEAR TOWN BUDGET (continued) : <br /> glier <br /> this matter of salary increases . On the capital improvement budget <br /> Council thought the improvements to the Chapin/Robleda intersection <br /> had been deleted and asked the City Clerk to review the records to see <br /> if this was correct. On pages seven and eight Council reported a <br /> typographical error - column three should read FY 88-89 instead of FY <br /> 87-88 . It was also noted that on page four, the totals for the Los <br /> Altos Sewer Basin Fund were incorrect. <br /> Alma Wood, 12151 Stonebrook, asked if the Town had any rights to <br /> decide whether or not they wanted to annex the area of San Antonio <br /> Hills (west) . Council responded that it was up to the owners of homes <br /> in the area under discussion and the outcome of the annexation <br /> depended on the number of protests at the hearing. On the subject of <br /> the Los Altos Senior Center Mrs. Wood noted that although the request <br /> in the current budget was for $1,000 and the Seniors were grateful for <br /> the Town ' s contribution of that amount, they might be back at a later <br /> date with a request for additional funds in that the Center may soon <br /> be charged rent on their facilities. <br /> Richard Jones, 12660 LaCresta, stated that he did not think the <br /> expenditures and revenues for planning and building were clear and he <br /> suggested including a sub-total for each of these areas in the budget. <br /> Casey brought up the subject of the role of the Finance Committee and <br /> their charges related to the budget. Rather than just a review of the <br /> budget, Casey stated that she would like to see the Finance Committee <br /> analyze the budget and provide Council with a recommendation. <br /> Councilmembers discussed their views of the role of the Finance <br /> Committee and the responsibilities of the Council regarding the <br /> budget. Tryon suggested that the Finance Committee review their <br /> charges and report back to Council with any suggestions . <br /> Dick Duhring, Chairman - Finance Committee, reported that the Finance <br /> Committee had reviewed the budget but did not have any specific <br /> comments to make. In response to the discussion on their charges, he <br /> stated his committee would welcome any comments/suggestions from <br /> Council on modifications to the committee ' s charges. <br /> Casey stated that she would like to see Council approve spending funds <br /> in the following areas: 1) hiring a consultant for the General Plan <br /> Review; 2) publishing full Council agendas in the Town Crier; and 3) <br /> providing for a pathway study in the Town. It was agreed staff would <br /> report on these suggestions. <br /> -2- 6/9/88 <br />
