<br />Upon the suggestion of Councilman Benson that Mrs. Dorothy Jensen,
<br />12233 Windsor Court, be recommended for appointment, Deputy Mayor Davey
<br />commented that Mrs. Jensen is a registered librarian. and-ia :presently em-
<br />ployed by the Mountain View -Los Altos High School District.
<br />Motion by Councilman Benson, second by Councilman Fowls, recommending
<br />that Mrs. Jensen be appointed to the Library Commission as the Town's
<br />representative, was passed unanimously.
<br />Letter (May 9, 1967) from Mr. R. W. Towle, relative to banning trucks
<br />Trucks on
<br />on the Junipero Serra Freeway, was read by the City Manager. Mr. Towle
<br />Junipero
<br />requested a report on the progress,. due to the imminence of the opening
<br />Serra Freeway
<br />of the Freeway.
<br />The City Manager read his memorandum (February 13, 1967) to the Plan-
<br />ning Commission, discussing the result of his research on the matter,
<br />and his recommendation that the Planning Commission request the Council
<br />to adopt a resolution urging the banning of trucks on the Junipero
<br />Serra Freeway. A search of the Planning Commission Minutes of Janu-
<br />ary 23, 1967, revealed that, at the time the memorandum was read, no
<br />action was taken.
<br />Motion by Councilman Aiken, second by Councilman Denson, that the Council
<br />initiate a letter, as suggested by the City Manager, to Mr. Alan S. Hart,
<br />Engineer, Division of Highways, asking that trucks be prohibited from
<br />using the Junipero Serra Freeway, was passed unanimously.
<br />The suggestion was made that an effort should be made to enlist other
<br />cities --Los Altos, Cupertino, Stanford, and others through eihich the freeway
<br />is routed, to pass similar rulings banning trucks.
<br />In answer to Mrs. D. Miller!s question of why consideration was not given
<br />earlier to this matter, Councilman Fowle stated that there was never
<br />any understanding that trucks would be prohibited, as this was to be a
<br />freeway and not a parkway. Due to the allocation of funds (90% federal
<br />and 10% State), trucks may or may not be prohibited.
<br />In answer to Mr. D. Janssen's inquiry relative to weight limit of vehicles,
<br />the Manager stated that vehicles over one ton would probably be prohibttdd,
<br />but that he would investigate the weight limitation on the MacArthur Free-
<br />way through the City of Oakland on which trucks are banned.
<br />Councilman Benson reported the Planning Commission's recommendation to
<br />Mid -Peninsula
<br />extend, for six months or to January 1, 1968, the term with Mid -Peninsula
<br />Foothill
<br />Foothill Planning Committee. The Commission recommended that Councilman
<br />Planning
<br />lachenbruch continue as its representative. Motion by Councilman Benson
<br />Committee
<br />second by Councilman Fowle, extending the term, as recommended by the
<br />Planning Commission, was passed unanimously.
