Special Meeting
May 4, 2011
1. Meeting was called to order at 7:10PM by Chairman Carey. Present were committee members
Jennifer Carlstrom, Eric Ramberg, Tracey Stewart, Duncan McMillan, Susan Stark, Anne Marie
Gallagher, Christine Murad, and Bart Carey.
2. Los Hills Town Council member and Mayor Ginger Summit was present as the council liaison
with the committee.
3. Bart Carey presented an update on Measure E. As of 1:40pm, May 3, 2011: 9,187 yes (67.08%)
and 4509 no (32.92%) votes. Total turn out was 13,696 voters or 54.8% of the total electorate.
4. Duncan McMillan shared an update on the Pinewood/Fremont Hills location situation. The
current Pinewood lease needs to be re‐negotiated by July 2012. Duncan spoke during public
comments at a recent PAUSD closed session meeting regarding the lease negotiations. He
emphasized that the district should negotiate for as much money as they can and to not remove
the current cancellation clause from the lease. There was a recent article in the Los Altos Town
Crier about Pinewood’s interest in purchasing the property. The LAH Town Council previously
had sent a letter expressing interest in the property for public use, should the property become
available.
5. Duncan McMillan shared the current LAH enrollment data for 2010‐2011. The data was not yet
100% accurate and was in the process of being verified. Currently there are questions about
some of the assessed dollar values and the number of PAUSD IDTs to Gardner Bullis. Duncan will
follow up on clarifying the data.
6. With no old business, the meeting was adjourned.
