UNFINISHED BUSINESS 5.1 Town Goals 5.1.1 Public Education: Bring the Future of Public Education to a Vote Mayor Warshawsky provided a brief summary of the Ad Hoc Committee on District Reorganization recent meetings and efforts. Marguerite Leoni, special legal counsel on education, had been engaged to assist in developing a legal plan for redistricting. Warshawsky reiterated that the redistricting process was a complicated effort. 3 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 Councilmember Jones clarified that the Ad Hoc Committee consisted of seven members including the Mayor and himself. The group's current primary focus was on the legal/administrative process of redistricting. Jones advised the Council that School Districts affected by the redistricting had already hired consultants to assist them and the Town was still in the planning phase. He suggested that it was appropriate for Council to accelerate their efforts to be political participants in the process. He reviewed the membership and charter of the County Committee that would review the Town's redistricting proposal. Jones noted that he would return to Council with a proposal to hire additional professional help with the redistricting effort. Jones offered that the education of the citizens of Los Altos Hills on the facts was an important and critical component in the redistricting process. The Palo Alto Unified School District Superintendent had recently sent a letter to all residents residing in the District and Jones suggested that it would be important for the Council to move forward with a factual based letter to all residents updating them on the status of the redistricting effort and providing them with an overview of the process. Jones reviewed the letter from PAUSD and clarified that the Town was seeking to establish a K-8 school district that maintained the residents' in that district matriculation to Gunn High School. The Town's first choice in their redistricting request was to maintain the status quo for students and permit them to attend their current high school and if that was not possible, for all students in Town to attend Gunn High school. Council discussion ensued. Council concurred that it was important for a letter to be sent to the residents to respond to the PAUSD's recent mailing and to better inform the citizens. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Kerr, seconded by Mordo and passed unanimously to approve $7,500 expenditure for a town wide mailing whose content would be determined by the Ad Hoc Committee on District Reorganization. 5.1.2 Underground Utilities: Develop a Financing Plan for Voter Approval Mayor Warshawsky reported that the Ad Hoc Undergrounding Committee had met on July 12, 2006.

Planning Director Pedro clarified that the tower was "on line" and the contractor's expectation was for the pole to be completed next week. Pedro noted that the existing"flag pole" antenna was scheduled to be removed.

The revised lists would be forwarded to Council at their August meeting. Councilmember Kerr reported that he had made a presentation to the Foothill-DeAnza Board regarding the El Monte Road/Moody Road pathway. Kerr noted that the Board of Directors was scheduled to vote on their monetary participation in the pathway project at their August meeting. Jitze Couperus as a "side bar" noted that the SCVWD had a spare bridge that might be appropriate for the Town's use. 5.3 Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance Allowing a 1:1 Development Area Bonus (500 sq. ft. max) for Installing Roof Mounted Solar Panels (Section 10- 1.502 (b)(6)) Ordinance 500 (SECOND READING) MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Jones to waive further reading and adopt Ordinance 500 with the following voice vote: Ayes: Warshawsky, Jones and O'Malley;Noes: Mordo; Abstain: Kerr 6. NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Request for Los Altos Hills County Fire District to Maintain Emergency Access Roads Council had before them a draft letter from the Mayor on behalf of Council to the Los Altos Hills County Fire District requesting their consideration of accepting responsibility for maintenance of fire roads within the District boundaries. City Manager Cahill reviewed the benefits that would be achieved with this new management role that 5 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 • included: all fire roads would be uniformly and regularly maintained to Fire Department specifications; public safety would be enhanced from a well-maintained fire road system designed for rapid response to an emergency; and requests by the Fire Department for maintenance would be handled immediately. Duffy Price, Vice-President, Los Altos Hills County Fire District Board of Commissioners, addressed Council and voiced her surprise on finding the letter on the agenda. She suggested that it would have been appropriate to have advised the District of the proposal. Price noted that some of the fire roads were used as Pathways and offered that consideration might be given to sharing maintenance costs for roads with dual purposes. Price noted that the District would be willing to review the request. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Jones, seconded by Mordo and passed unanimously to authorize the Mayor to sign the letter included in the packet as agenda item 6.1 and direct staff to forward the letter to the Los Altos Hills County Fire District. 6.2 Designation of Voting Delegate—League of California Cities Annual Conference—September 2006 MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Kerr and passed unanimously to designate City Manager Carl Cahill as the voting delegate for the Town of Los Altos Hills at the League of California Cities Annual Conference, September 2006. 7.

He noted that the Project was at a milestone and identified it as "Alternative 8" and requested that with Council's direction, Louie "sign off' on the conceptual design. Couperus noted that the approval was non-binding but important to facilitate the Project.

Couperus advised that neighbors of the creek have been kept apprised of the Project. Beau Goldie, Santa Clara Valley Water District, reported that $2.4 million had been allocated by the District for the Adobe Creek Reach Five Project.

COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS 9.1 Proposed Amendment to Maximum Contribution for City Councilmember Health Coverage—Councilmember Kerr Councilmember Kerr explained that he had forwarded the item to the Council for their . consideration. He offered that based on the time and energy that Councilmembers dedicate to projects for the Town, it would be appropriate for the Town to extend the same health care benefits policy to the Council that exists for Town staff. He noted that this was common practice for many communities and the information and financial impact was available for Council in their meeting packet. Kerr advised that it was anticipated that only a portion of Council would participate because some receive benefits through their employment or as a part of their spouse's policy. Council discussion ensued. Assistant City Attorney John Bakker clarified that Council was permitted to vote on the policy, even if they were currently enrolled in the Cal PERS health insurance program through the Town. Councilmember Jones noted that he would not be participating in the program; however, he believed it was a reasonable benefit for Councilmembers.

O'Malley explained that based on the legal perimeters that define an Ad Hoc Committee as one that is formed for a short duration 8 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 (limited period of time) for a specific purpose no longer applied to the group, it was time to disband the Ad Hoc Committee. He congratulated them for their efforts and achievements. Assistant City Attorney John Bakker explained that staff had reviewed the meeting minutes that referenced the creation of the Ad Hoc Committee, noting that it was formed to review and correct certain inadequacies in the Path Map. That task had been completed and the Path Map (Off-Road) was updated and approved by the Council in 2005. Ginger Summit, Pathways Committee Chair, reported that her committee had formally completed their recommendations on the Path Map and the Committee would be reviewing their comments with Public Works Director Louie and then forwarding them to the Planning Commission for their review and ultimately to Council for their consideration and approval.

PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR Jack Caffey,Adonna Court, deferred his comments on Item 11.1 until the Public Hearing. John Radford, La Paloma Road, reported that as a member of the PEC Ad Hoc Subcommittee, he had joined Mayor Warshawsky and attended the County Board of Education meeting. Radford advised that it appeared that the Town was faced with formidable opposition to redistricting and suggested that Council thoroughly debate the investment in time and money that should be expended to successfully move the petition through the redistricting process. Alien Bien, Conejo Court, explained that he was a concerned parent with a child in a Palo Alto school and hoped that his child would be able to complete his education with the district. He distributed a spreadsheet of recent home sales within Los Altos Hills and 9 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 suggested that there was a potential impact to property values if residents were no longer able to attend Palo Alto schools. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS 11.1 Consideration of Proposed Amendment to the Site Development Ordinance Requiring Removal of Eucalyptus Trees at the Time of Site Development Approval (Section 10-2.802) (First Reading) and Review and Consideration of an Initial Study and Adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Item continued from the July 13, 2006 Regular City Council meeting) (FIRST READING) Planning Director Debbie Pedro introduced this item. She reviewed her PowerPoint Presentation "Eucalyptus Tree Ordinance — Section 10-2.802" with Council noting that Council's initial interest in hazardous trees had been as a response to a major winter storm in January, 2006 that had caused a number of downed trees throughout Town including a eucalyptus tree on Natoma Road which had caused a fatality. Pedro exhibited pictures of the winter storm felled trees and debris. Subsequent to the storm, Council had directed staff to identify existing hazardous trees in the Town's major roadways and a program was initiated to target these trees for immediate removal. In addition to the tree removal program, Council directed staff to develop an ordinance to require the removal of eucalyptus trees on private properties at the time of site development approval. Pedro summarized the Planning Commission's review of the proposed ordinance. During their initial review in April, 2006, the Commission directed staff to consult with an arborist to determine whether all trees should be subject to removal. In a report prepared by arborist Barry Coate, he noted that there were hundreds of eucalyptus species and that some were relatively trouble free and suitable for ornamental plantings. However, six species commonly found in California were identified as prone to limb breakage or severe pest problems and he recommended that they not be planted around homes or roadways. Pedro identified the six species with photos of each that included: Eucalyptus globulus (Tasmanian Blue Gum); Eucalyptus sideroxylon rosea (Pink Ironbark); Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum); Eucalyptus rudis (Swamp Gum); Eucalyptus Melliodora (Honey Gum); and, Eucalyptus viminalis (Manna Gum). The Planning Commission reviewed the ordinance again in June, 2006 and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the ordinance with the added provision that allowed exceptions to be made to eucalyptus trees that were 150' away from any structures or roadways offering that if a tree fell it would not be within striking distance of any home or street. Pedro explained that if Council determined that the proposed ordinance was too restrictive, they could consider a modification to the exception to include trees that were 150' from any property line. Council thanked Pedro for her presentation and congratulated her on her recent promotion to Planning Director. 10 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 Council briefly discussed the exception. It was noted that eucalyptus trees pose a twofold threat as both potential fire hazards and from falling limbs and downed trees. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING Jack Caffey, Adonna.Court, explained that he was opposed to the proposed ordinance. He believed it would be a financial hardship to require residents to remove eucalyptus trees. He has approximately 10 to 12 eucalyptus trees bordering his residence. Caffey suggested that the ordinance was unnecessary because the Town's adopted landscaping guidelines advised against planting eucalyptus trees and the arborist had included other types of trees including the Pine tree in the "hazardous" category and yet the ordinance only focused on eucalyptus. He believed the Town's program to remove hazardous trees had been sufficient. Maria Caffey, Adonna Court, offered her opinion that the ordinance was based on a freak accident. She suggested that Council's response to the incident was appropriate and congratulated them on their efforts to remove hazardous trees in Town that had been identified by the arborist. Caffey opposed the ordinance that focused only eucalyptus trees and suggested that requiring a property owner to remove trees at the time of a remodel, if their property was on a back road, did little to promote public safety and was a financial hardship. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING Councilmember Mordo expressed his support for the proposed ordinance but noted that he could understand the concerns expressed that a requirement to remove trees with a simple addition would have a disproportionate cost. He noted that as a condition of approval for a new residence, the cost could be factored into the overall costs of the project. Mordo suggested it might be appropriate to increase the square footage threshold from 900 square feet to a major remodel. Councilmember Kerr requested clarification from the Assistant City Attorney on a properly owner's liability if a tree from his property fell and damaged his neighbor's property. Assistant City Attorney John Bakker explained that if the property owner were negligent in maintaining the tree, that might be relevant to the issue, however, he did not believe that there was a standard of strict liability and doubted that the homeowner would be responsible for the damage done by the falling tree. Kerr voiced his concern that old growth eucalyptus trees had been cut done on Page Mill Road and noted that he could support removing hazardous trees from property lines but questioned any action that would eradicate the species. Councilmember O'Malley spoke to the fire on Liddicoat Circle and the neighbors experience with the eucalyptus trees exploding during the event. He supported the ordinance but noted that he could support an amendment to the square footage requirement for remodels that increased the size to 1500 square feet. • 11 City Council Meeting Minutes July 13,2006 Mayor Pro Tem Jones cited the eucalyptus as a problematic, non-native species throughout Town. He noted that Council was considering a policy decision that would over time remove the trees from Town. Jones was supportive of the ordinance as written but was open to an amendment to the exception to include trees that were 150' from the homeowner's structure. Mayor Warshawsky supported the ordinance. He noted that Town residents had been afforded an opportunity to express their opinion of the proposed ordinance and most citizens that he had spoken with privately were very supportive of the Council's direction. Warshawsky reiterated the eucalyptus trees propensity as a dangerous tree and fire hazard. He noted that the Environmental Design and Protection Committee had not expressed any opposition to the proposal. He concurred that it was appropriate to require the removal of the trees as a condition of approval for new residences but favored increasing the square footage for remodels and suggested 1500 square feet. City Manger Cahill suggested that Council consider incorporating language into the ordinance for remodels by adding "alterations" into the ordinance. The term would be inclusive of remodels. Council discussion ensued regarding the proposed remodel square footage threshold. Council concurrence was to increase the square footage to 1200 square feet. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Jones, seconded by Kerr and passed unanimously to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and to waive reading and introduce the ordinance with the following amendment: (g) Eucalyptus Trees. All existing Blue Gum (E. globulus), Pink Ironbark (E. sideroxylon rosea), River Red Gum (E. camaldulensis), Swamp Gum (E. rudis), Honey Gum (E. melliodora), and Manna Gum (E. viminalis) eucalyptus trees shall be removed at the time of the construction of a principal residence or at the time of the construction of any structure, combination of structures, addition or alteration to structures which individually or cumulatively equal or exceed twelve hundred (1,200) square feet of floor area. Exceptions shall be made for eucalyptus trees greater than 150' from any roadways or structures. 12.
