nJ <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS <br />26379 Fremont Road <br />Los Altos Hills, California <br />MINUTES OF AN ADJOURNED MEETING <br />Friday, August 6, 1976 <br />cc: Reel 92, Side 2, Tr. 1 - 001- 597 <br />Mayor Robert Cheney called the Regular Meeting of the City Council to order at <br />4:25 P.M. in the Council Chambers of Town Hall: <br />A. ROLL CALL: <br />Present: Councilmen Brown, Grabowski, Proft, Councilwoman Hillestad, Mayor <br />Cheney <br />Staff: City Manager Robert Crowe <br />B. CURRENT BUSINESS: <br />The purpose of the Adjourned Meeting was to continue Budget FY 1976-77 <br />discussions. <br />Councilman Proft felt that Council should discuss how they would like to see <br />the Planning Department operate at this time. <br />Councilman Brown stated that he subscribed to the suggestion presented by the <br />City Manager that the replacement for the Town Planner should be a person with <br />a degree in Civil Engineer and some Planning experience, with two to four years <br />experience in this field. The reason he supported this plan was because the <br />Town would be facing a considerable amount of subdivision development over the <br />next few years, and the Town needed someone who could quickly learn the re- <br />quirements of the Town and correlate those with his engineering experience. <br />He also noted that the present City Engineer would be retiring within the next <br />few years, and it would be well for the person being considered to work with <br />the City Engineer toward the future time when he could take over that position. <br />Councilman Brown suggested the salary range of $19,000-$20,000 for such a <br />position. <br />Councilman Proft concurred with Councilman Brown regarding the qualifications <br />needed by the Town, and suggested that an advertisement be placed as soon as <br />possible. Councilwoman Hillestad also agreed on such qualifications and that <br />this person would be needed as quickly as possible. <br />Mayor Cheney stated he would like to see Council defer any decision on this <br />matter until after the first of the year, since he did not feel the Town <br />needed another person, and also thought that the City Engineer and the City <br />Manager could handle the Planning area. <br />
