Review of Minutes: The Committee reviewed and approved without modification the
minutes of its 4/21/09 meeting.
Historical Sites and Structures Subcommittee. Barbara Packard discussed her ongoing
work on this project and distributed a couple of handouts.
Town Picnic display. Committee members reviewed their participation in the Town
Picnic and the need for the Town to provide a table for future picnics.
Request to Council. The Committee unanimously adopted the following resolution.
The History Committee asks that the History House that is next to Town Hall be turned
over to the History Committee to be used exclusively as a museum. This Heritage History
Museum would house a number of historical artifacts that are worthy of public display
and whereas there likely are additional artifacts that residents might be willing to donate,
we recommend that the Council adopt a long range plan to make these materials through
a combination of additions to the Town website and the creation of a Los Altos Hills
History Museum and in the meantime encourage public donations to the Town of both
historical artifacts and private funding for this project, to be kept in separate Town
accounts.
Inventory Subcommittee. Les Earnest observed that in order to be cable to calculate the
size and expense of the proposed historical document scanning project that we need page
counts, so the Inventory Subcommittee will take that up on Tuesday, June 23 at 1:30pm
in Council Chambers.
Public Comment None.
