2) Review of minutes October 30th, 2018
Two things were missing from the minutes:

came up with this list together and all agreed it is complete:
▪Scott Vanderlip
▪Chris Knopf
▪Kathy Evans
▪Nina
▪Ingrid Sperow
▪Ying
▪Liza
▪Jim Basiji
▪Steve Padovan
▪Kjell Karlsson
▪Val Metcalfe
2) Motion: Scott made a motion for Scott to present Plan B as a committee at the
upcoming Planning Commission meeting. Kathy seconded. Approval unanimous.
Scott motioned to approve amended October 30th minutes with these two changes,
Kathy seconds, all were in favor.
3) Members of the public - none
4) Town Hall Expansion discussion
Ying says members of the public need to be aware of the town hall expansion
plan, and community center options
Sarah says Steve will be giving an update to council at the March council
meeting
Kjell asks - is the staff space proposed to be added even sufficient for staff
growth?
Sarah is on board with the new Plan A from a staff standpoint. A lot of things
missed in the original concept design are now remedied.
Kjell says the new community center idea needs to be disconnected from the
failed 2015 effort
Scott suggests agendized meeting inviting council and other committees and the
public to go to see Portola Valley Community Center
Scott makes a motion to ask Deborah to help us set up an agendized field trip to Portola
Valley Community Center, inviting Planning Commissioners, Council Members, all
Committee members, and all members of the public. Portola Valley is half the size of
ours and has a really nice community center. Ingrid seconds the motion. All in favor,
unanimous. Aiming for some time in early March.
-It seems a significant portion of residents did not get the postcard notice in January,
including many Parks and Rec members
example: Nina (but her address wasn’t on the town list), Ying, Scott on Fremont Pines,
and Ingrid on Melody Lane whose addresses were in fact on the town’s list.
5.
a. Earth Day - sent out ask for 4/14
6.
e. Touch a truck - trying to figure out if we want open to non-residents, turnout is quite
large
Website calendar - Ying wants events updated on there more long-term.
Meeting Adjourned: 7:26PM
Respectfully Submitted by: Nina Sutaria
