We all believed it would be an open meeting and would be open to the public. We went to the Council Chambers and no one was present. Staff acknowledged no knowledge of a meeting. I asked Mr. Crewe and he assured me there was no meting. At 3:40 p.m. I opened the Manager's office and Mr. McReynolds bodily tried to push me out - net once but twice. I left after handing same information to the people present. There was no sign on the door that there was a meeting of any kind in progress. I was publicly humiliated in front of the newsmen and the grinning Mayor Proft. This is another of many incidents of how residents are treated at Town Hall. We are often lied to, ignored and insulted, Their attitude is 'the public be damned - we will haw our cwn way'." ThrooD, 27272 Byrne Park Lane, , asked Council what the status was of the M, U billing ZFEr�ge and the possibility of overcharging Jos Altos Hills' residents. The mayor responded that he and Mayor Eng of Los Altos had had several discussions on this subject. Los Altos Hills would be making the refund after certain tax printouts were made available. Although there had been sane delays in resolving this matter due to conflicts in schedules, etc., Proft stated that it was a high priority and discussions would continue with Los Altos. %W -2-
