Los
Altos
Hills
Education
Committee
Meeting
Regular
Meeting
August
13,
2014
1.
Meeting
was
called
to
order
at
7:15pm
by
the
Chair,
Ms.
Rose.
Present
were
committee
members
Duncan
MacMillan,
Heather
Rose
and
Andrea
Angquist.
John
Harpootlian
was
present
as
the
council
liaison.
2.
Due
to
lack
of
a
quorum,
no
action
was
taken
by
the
committee.
With
secretary
absent,
Heather
volunteered
to
take
minutes.
3.
John
Harpootlian
said
that
the
LAH
City
Council
was
cutting
their
charitable
giving
funds
from
$60,000
to
$30,000
this
year.
The
potential
impact
to
CHAC
could
be
that
they
no
longer
receive
funds
from
LAH
for
their
services
to
local
schools.
CHAC
is
in
a
special
category
because
it
is
a
JPA,
co-‐founded
by
the
City
of
Los
Altos
Hills.
4.
John
Harpootlian
made
some
points
of
procedure
for
distribution
of
information
clear
for
the
committee:
• Distribution
of
FINAL
minutes
needs
to
include
the
City
Clerk.
The
City
Clerk
is
tasked
with
official
storage
and
distribution
of
public
information
to
members
of
the
public
who
request
it.
• Committee
members
may
pass
public,
non-‐opinion
related,
information
in
email
as
long
as
the
City
Clerk
is
included
on
the
Cc:
line.
This
public
information
will
also
be
stored
and
distributed
to
members
of
the
public
who
request
it.
• To
email
an
“opinion”
can
create
an
unofficial
meeting
–
if
emailed
from
one
person
to
a
quorum
or
more;
or,
an
unofficial
“serial
meeting”
-‐
if
emailed
from
one
person
to
the
next
for
a
total
of
a
quorum
or
more.
Any
opinions
over
email
that
includes
a
quorum
or
more
(4
is
a
quorum
for
the
LAH
EC
now)
would
create
an
unofficial
meeting.
• Distribution
of
DRAFT
minutes
to
only
committee
members
is
OK.
This
is
considered
“work
product”
as
long
as
the
committee
does
not
start
an
“unofficial
meeting”
over
email.
(See
above
point
on
unofficial
meeting.)
• Exchange
of
opinions
over
email
among
sub-‐committee
members
can
be
done
without
Cc:
of
the
City
Clerk.
Sub-‐committees,
by
definition,
do
not
constitute
a
quorum.

5.
Those
present
answered
questions
for
new
committee
member,
Andrea,
including
how
to
find
out
which
school
district
she
lives
in
by
looking
at
her
property
tax
bill.
There
being
no
further
business.
