The City Manager summarized his feeling as a basis for discussion that the Environmental Design Committee should be comprised of 5 members; 2 architects, 1 landscape architect, 1 engineer and 1 lay person who is esthetically oriented. Councilman Grabowski commented that the City Manager's recommendations were well taken, but possibly too stringent. An alternative should be sought as persons bearing the qualifications suggested by Mr. Lawson might be difficult to find in the community. Perhaps two lay persons might serve on the Committee. Councilman Davey suggested that Mr. Lawson's suggestions might be a worthy aim, but that membership should be open to all who wish to apply. Mayor Helgesson called for persons interested to apply for this committee stating qualifications. Speaking from the floor: Mr. Donald Spencer Councilman Miller stated that stringent qualifications were not what the Council had in mind when initiating the idea for the Committee. Speaking from the floor: Mr. David Jansson Councilman Grabowski suggested that the matter be put over until input is given the Council by the various committees now reviewing the draft Resolution of the Town of Los Altos Hills relating to Standing Committees, with Mayor Helgesson and Councilman Davey suggesting that applications be far invited for positions on this particular Committee only in the meantime. Council concurred on this approach. F: CONTI14UING BUSINESS: 1. Discussion of proposed ordinance limiting use of projectile -throwing devices (continued from meeting of 2/7/73).
