Old Business: Earth Day was successful with a larger turnout than expected.
All the data has been collected on house size regulations in neighboring cities. We will
contact Nancy Foquet to complete the graph presentation. We will then present this to
council and proceed from there as indicated. We will contact Duffey Price to have it
placed in the next town newsletter.
New Business: Councilman Kerr did not attend our meeting or respond to any of the
correspondence from the town or our committee. We will draft a letter to Councilman
Kerr and copy the other council members.
Town hired a wildlife biologist who will work with the open space committee to work on
wildlife corridors.
Purissima Hills Water District has hired a consultant to work with clients on landscape
water conservation.
Concern has been raised about the new curbs going in around town. They are 4 inches
(square profile) in height and pose a danger to humans (pedestrian and cyclist), vehicles,
small animals, and the environment (water run-off). Sandy will draft a letter to send to
council members outlining the problems with this type of curbing.
We would like to get copies of the minutes of the other committees on a regular basis like
we did in the past. This will help us understand the direction of each committee and how
we can all work together. Robin will contact Karen to arrange this.
Meeting adjourned: 6:45 PM
