STAFF - REPORTS, CORRESPONDENCE & ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. City Manager: a) Bid Award and Resolution - Dump Truck Purchase. (Although continued to have the Cit Attorney present, for continuity this matter will be shown at this point in the Minutes.� Councilmembers discussed with the City Manager the methods utilized to obtain bids, the close proximity of bids received and legal options available in the awarding. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Nystrom, seconded by Councilwoman Hillestad and carried unanimously to award the bid for Dump Truck Purchase to the lowest bidder, South Bay Ford. E. SPECIAL ORDERS: 1. Review of Corridor Evaluation and Resolution. The following areas of concern were addressed by the Council: (1) That their previous action relative to the Study was in support of the concept, however, not a full endorse- ment; (2) Subsequently, various city recommendations had been mis-interpreted and ignored; (3) The current fuel shortage necessitates that the Study thoroughly address all County transit problems; (4) Small cities are hurt the most by most recommendations contained; and, (5) Since the Town's "qualified rejection" was ignored, perhaps, a "full rejection" would elicit review and response to the Council's feelings on this matter. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Proft, seconded by Councilman Perkins and passed by the following roll call vote to direct the Mayor to send a letter to R. Diridon expressing that Los Altos Hills goes on record as rejecting the recommendations of the Corridor Evaluation Study because of serious reservations expressed by us and other cities which have not been addressed adequately. AYES: Mayor McReynolds and Councilmembers Nystrom, Perkins and Proft. NOES: Councilwoman Hillestad. 2. Request from Wm. Alhouse to move house and water tower.
