SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 7 (cont.) (Special Meeting June 16, 1972). Speaking from the floor, Mrs. Pat Standring Of the Path Committee noted that their Committee had not yet had an opportun- ity to contact their members to present their recommended appointees. Councilman Grabowski stated he was unaware of any proposal to replace Mrs. Saviano as Chairman and noted since she also was unaware -"This was rather cruel and unusual treatment" and perhaps this proposal should be by "advice and consent" of Council. He asked that this matter be placed on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting. Mayor Helgesson agreed,but noted it did not appear that there was Council concurrence to do so. Motion, Seconded and Carried: Councilman Miller moved, seconded by Council- man Davey that Mmes. Sue Roth, Kim Black, Natalie Gieseler and Artemas Ginzton be appointed to the Pathway Committee, that the Environmental Quality Control Committee be renamed The Noise Abatement Committee, and that Mr. Robert Stutz be named as Chairman of the Pathway Committee carried by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmen Davey, Kubby and Miller. Noes: Councilmen Grabowski and Mayor Helgesson. Councilman Grabowski requested that the record show he objected to this combined motion; that he favored the renaming of the Noise Abatement Committee, but not the proposed appointments as he neither knew the individuals nor their qualifications and further he disapproved of usurping the Mayor's prerogative for making Committee appointments. Motion, Seconded and Carried: Councilmen Kubby moved, seconded by Miller and carried by unanimous roll call vote to adopt Resolution No. 672, a resolution of the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills, expressing gratitude and thanks to Mrs. Saviono for her years of service as Chairman of the Pathway Committee and the expressing the desire that she continue to serve on the Committee,fulfilling that function of which she is very capable. Council concurred to agenda for next meeting discussion of committee member- ship, structure, tenure, chairmanships and method of appointments. Mr. Robert Cheney, President of the Los Altos Hills Association, stated that he had heard numerous uncomplimentary comments about the newly elected Council members, but he had tried to keep an open mind and give these Councilmen the benefit of the doubt, but after their apparent disregard tonight for the Town's best interests, the Association would have to watch the actions of this Council very closely.
