Presentations from the floor i. Kathy Evans of the LAH Citizens Committee presented information in support of the movement to create a separate school district for LAH. At present the Town has no voice in PAUSD, LASD or MVLA. Additionally the Town has no voice to protect public assets in Town, which is a hardship not just for public education but also for Parks and Recreation and for Pathways, which originally provided access to school sites. The process of re-districting will take 5-8 years. Signatures are needed in 2 weeks to place the issue on the ballot in Fall of 2006 or 2007. 51% of whoever votes is needed. 3B. Meeting schedule a.

Miraloma Way to Hilltop Drive - (Reconsideration at Council request of D3.3a, 3.3b, 3.1 and 3.2a.) After lengthy discussion and input from residents Chang, Trafficante, Silver, Norby and Fong, there seemed to be a general consensus that a new route from Miraloma, to the utility easement along 12595 Miraloma to the St. Nicholas School property (and then along the school’s property line to the public part of Voorhees Drive) is the best compromise for this area. Ann moved. Nancy G. seconded. 9-1 The Committee agreed to give the Council the choice of a second route in the area, which would be 3.3a and 3.3b. Ginger moved, Jolon seconded. 8-1-1 4A.
