4.New Business:
a.Movie Nights at Purissima Sarah investigated the cost of a movie
screen and decided it’s not sustainable. We’ll need to find solid
volunteers to help for this activity as there is not enough manhour
from the staff. The only feasible time will be after Hoedown since the
schedule in spring and early summer is quite full.
b.Presentation from Prop 68 Subcommittee: Nina presented a
PowerPoint presentation. Liza motioned to form a subcommittee to
explore the overarching plan. Kathy second. Nina, Liza and Helene
form the subcommittee. Carol comments against any ideas related to
removal of the house ring and little league field because these are part
of Los Altos Hills heritage. Steve comments that any removal of the
baseball field is not ideal for Little League. The little league will
appreciate and benefit from a function room for meetings and etc.
Ying and Roger agree to the big vision in the presentation in general
but suggest the committee to present it to the city council strategically,
say, put it in different stages with specific ideas instead of
overwhelming them. Ying also think more feedback from the stake
holders will be needed. Kathy thinks giving the time and budget we
should just take down the snack shack and start with a multifunction
room as phase 1. Nina and Kjell concern that if we build the
multifunction room now, it might not be the best location in the bigger
plan. Sara reminds everyone the project for Prop 68 is time and
budget sensitive.
c. Voting on Prop 68 ideas
Nina Motions to present the over arching vision and ideas to spend the $250K as
phase one to the council. Yes: Yibin, Ingrid, Kathy,
