PUBLIC HEARINGS 12. A Request to Construct an Identification Sign at the Intersection of Viscaino Road and Viscaino Place, 12879 Viscaino Road; Lands of Cannon (Applicant -Fremont Hills Country Club) File #233-10-ZP; (Staff: D. Pedro) Assistant Planner Nicole Horvitz introduced the item to the Council. The Town Code allows for the placement of identification signs on a property; however, the proposed sign for Fremont Hills Country Club is not located on the Club's property. The request is that the sign be placed on the Lands of Cannon; the property owner has provided consent for the sign to be located on his property. The 3' x 2' sign would be placed outside the public right-of-way. One neighbor sent objections via email because he felt it was unnecessary. The action requested of the Council is to approve the requested sign with recommended conditions and findings listed in the staff report. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING The manager of the Fremont Hills Country Club, Scott Domnie spoke about the former, unattractive sign. He added that funds will be spent to beautify everything around the area of the proposed sign. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Motion by Mordo, seconded by Waldeck and passed unanimously to approve the requested sign at the intersection of Viscaino Road and Viscaino Place, subject to the conditions of approval and findings of approval. 13. Consideration of Proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Budget for the Fiscal Year 2011-12 (Staff: N. Pegueros) Reso# 32-11 Finance Director Nick Pegueros introduced the item to the Council. He provided an overview of the process used to build the budget including major changes. The Council and Finance and Investment Committee (FIC) met on May 12 to review the assumptions used to build the revenue and expense forecast and looked at a variety of capital programs for the next fiscal year.

Councilmember Mordo suggested that the Town, at a later date, look at alternatives to the services provided by the County and look at comparative bids. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING Mark Breier recommended that the Town consider allocating $10,000 for Los Altos Hills Families next year to continue its activities within the Town. Council discussion ensued.

Concern was expressed about giving Town money to a private group. 4 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 16, 2011
