UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: CONSIDERATION OF VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. Councilman Grabowski presented a proposal for a method of identifying vehicles owned by people living in Los Altos Hills, so that the Security Patrol and the Sheriff's Department could easily recognize a vehicle parked in Town as belonging to the area. Speaking from the Floor in support of the proposal were Mr. C. B. Marron, Field Enforcement Supervisor of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, and Mr. Dan Burbank, Manager of the local Wells Fargo Security Guard Service. Speaking against the proposal was Mrs. D. Miller, 13076 Vista del Valle Court. Council concurred to give this proposal further study. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2• CONSIDER ACTION ON LIONEL CAMPBELL'S SEWER CROSSING OF ADOBE CREEK. City Manager had read at the last meeting, a letter from the County Flood Control and Water District urging the Town to take action to have the private sewer line of Mr. L. Campbell removed where it crosses the Adobe Creek. It requested the line be relocated to hook into the sanitary sewer on Topa Way. Staff had since checked the Town's records to see what type of permit was issued for the construction of this line and found that a Plumbing Permit was issued to S. & E. Plumbing of Redwood City, Permit #E-869, dated March 8, 1961. No details were available showing where the sewer line was to be run and no easements are shown on the subdivision map for Pink Horse Ranch, Unit #1. However, the lot owned by Mr. Campbell extends clear to Moody Road, including a portion of Adobe Creek and the subdivider, Mr. W. Roscoe, claims that he did not need a special permit to run his sewer under the creek as the creek was on the lot, which is now owned by Mr. Campbell. Staff recommended that the Council declare this private sewer line a public nuisance and require Mr. Campbell to relocate it. Speaking from the Floor were Mr. Lloyd C. Fowler, of the Flood Control District, and Mr. Bob Schultz, attorney for Mr. Campbell. Council discussion reiterated their previous stand that this line did constitute a public nuisance. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Aiken and carried by unanimous roll call vote, that the Flood Control District pursue all steps necessary to effect removal of this sewer line, which constitutes a continuing nuisance and hazard to public health. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 5: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT OF SB1400. City Manager stated an organization called "Open Space Action" had formed to support Senate Bill 1400. This bill provides the mechanism by which open space, particularly around the Bay Area, can be preserved. Council concurred to take no action without additional information as to alternatives. -3-
