APPOINTMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS 2.1 Presentation of Proposed Improvements at Bullis School— Superintendent Tim Justus,Los Altos School District Superintendent Justus addressed Council and thanked them for the opportunity to present an overview of the Bullis School improvement project. He introduced project architects, Gelfand & Associates and proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation that included an aerial view of the ten acre multi-level site; site plans for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. Justus explained that the full day kindergarten program would be maintained at the campus during Phase I of the project (construction year). Portables would be brought on campus and located in the parking lot to house the students and teacher facilities. Plans also included the renovation of the existing multi-purpose room to facilitate the office complex, serve as a small multi-purpose room, library and nurse's office. All construction staging will be located at the rear of the campus. Following Phase I,the first year of construction, the portables would be removed and the existing classes modernized. New buildings would include a new restroom, new library and new computer lab. Justus commented that the covered walk way that interconnected the • campus buildings was a design feature unique to the Bullis campus. The same standards and criteria that were used for the modernization of the other LASD elementary school 1 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 campuses were used for the Bullis-Purissima project. Justus discussed future improvements for the campus that included additional classrooms that would be constructed as required by enrollment. Justus reviewed the improvement options for the playing fields at the Bullis site. The original plan had called for minor revitalization of the lower field with any additional improvements including improvements to the upper field scheduled for the Phase II- future modernization. Following contact from a local soccer club that proposed participating in funding major improvements to the fields, discussions were broached with the Town. Justus noted that the District was very flexible in the kind of fields that could be provided at the site but if any expansion of the playing fields was planned, the District would need financial participation from the Town and Soccer Club. Lisa Gelfand, Gelfand & Associates, reviewed the field improvement proposals that included: a conceptual design for a soccer field built to NCAA specifications and a smaller field. She summarized the current problems with the area that would have to be addressed if improvements were made to the upper field that included the installation of retaining walls and drainage issues. If an artificial field turf was used for the playing fields, the architects proposed a drainage system to be built under the field and water retention tank to slow down water runoff from the field to prevent any overload on the storm water system. Gelfand offered that any field improvements would be consistent with the use of the campus. • Ms. Gelfand summarized the construction timeline for the Bullis School project. Construction is slated to begin in June 2007 with a"move-in" target of school year 2008. Drawings for site improvements were scheduled for submission to the Department of the State Architect for review at the end of the month and bidding for the project is scheduled for Spring '07. The field improvement schedule is not consistent with the construction schedule and could be managed separately. The project architect reviewed the field project budget including hard and soft costs with a total estimated cost of $2,067,120. Hard costs included an escalation at 8% for any unforeseen costs. Council questioned why there were currently no sports programs scheduled on the Bullis Fields. It was noted that there was no emergency vehicle access to the site which was an expectation for any organized sport program. Mayor Pro Tem Jones commented that currently, a key goal for the City Council was the expansion of recreational facilities for the Town and regionally. The questions to be resolved regarding the Bullis field project would be artificial turf vs. natural and one or two level of fields. He queried Superintendent Justus on whether the school district had a preference and what had been budgeted. Justus stated that they were open to any proposal for the fields. He reiterated that the District's original plan was to simply refurbish the field. Lisa Gelfand, project architect, noted that a field refurbishment would cost approximately $500,000 and would be budgeted in Phase Il of the project. Improvements would be made to all elementary school fields at that time. If a Bond • measure were to be passed in '08, construction for Phase II would be scheduled including the field renovation. 2 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 • Discussion regarding projected student enrollment at Bullis School ensued. Justus explained that portables would be brought in if needed. The all day kindergarten was scheduled to be at Bullis next year but the decision for location of the program in the future had yet to be determined by the District. Justus stated that feedback from the Town regarding the field was not critical to the renovation schedule. The District was flexible regarding the type of improvements to be made to the fields but no major project could be undertaken unless handicapped accessibility was addressed. The District preferred any construction work scheduled between school sessions during the summer. Council thanked Superintendent Justus for his presentation. 2.2 Appointment to the Environmental Design and Protection Committee Council had before them a Community Service application from Carl Silverman expressing an interest in appointment to the Environmental Design and Protection, Committee.

He offered that Jim Lai's background in finance would be an asset and he recommended his appointment to the position. Mr. Lai is currently a member of the Town's Finance and Investment Committee. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by O'Malley and passed unanimously to appoint Jim Lai to the North County Library Authority. 3. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT Planning Director Debbie Pedro advised Council that the Planning Commission had reviewed two projects at their January 4, 2007 meeting: Lands of Moeller, a two-lot subdivision and the Conditional Use Permit for Town Hall.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 5.1 Town Goals 5.1.1 Public Education: Bring the Future of Public Education to a Vote Mayor Pro Tem Jones updated the Council on the efforts of the Ad Hoc Committee on District Reorganization (AHCDR). Since the December 7`h hearing before the County Committee, they have endeavored to answer in detail the questions that had been posed by the County Committee. The written response materials had been submitted to the County. Jones noted that the County Committee at the hearing had given clear direction to the School Districts and Town to attempt a negotiated resolution to the issues. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem had approached Tim Justus, Superintendent, Los Altos School District (LASD) via email correspondence on December 81' to open discussions along with the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD). They have continued to make contact with the involved parties to schedule a meeting. Jones suggested that this was an appropriate time for the Council to take formal action to support the negotiations. A proposed resolution would be considered during a Special Meeting scheduled tonight. Jones offered that one option for the County Committee at the January 25th hearing (continuation of the December 7, 2006 hearing) was to consider delaying their final decision if formal discussions had begun. Jones thanked the many volunteers that had spent numerous hours on the redistricting effort including Planning Commissioner Dr. Bart Carey, Kathy Evans, John Radford, Karla Jurvetson and Chris Vargas. Council discussion ensued. Councilmember Mordo questioned if it would be beneficial for the Council to agree in principle what would be an acceptable minimal solution prior to the January hearing. Jones commented that the initial process was to enter into formal discussions with the Districts. He suggested that the resolution outlined by Mordo would most likely be appropriate at a later date. Jones explained that the County Committee had not voiced an interest in establishing the specific details of an agreement however elements that could be considered in an agreement including trusteeship and territory transfers were the jurisdiction of the County Committee. He believed there was a consensus that the Town had a problem, notably the lack of a local neighborhood elementary school with equal access for all residents. At such time that formal talks commenced, Jones believed it would then be fitting for the City Council to give direction • to the Town's negotiating team. 5 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 Mayor Warshawsky added that the Bullis Charter School was an important part of the solution and should be included in the discussions and their needs identified. Mayor Pro Tem Jones reported that the AHCDR was relying on volunteer time to stay within the approved budget for this phase of the reorganization process.

Hills. She reported that Verizon had expressed an interest in a project at Town Hall that would be delayed until 2008 due to budget constraints. Cingular is expected to submit 6 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 two new applications in early 2007 including a proposal for a project in the western section of the Town. One proposed Cingular project was for a facility on private land and the second proposal called for a facility on Water District property. All projects would be constructed as artificial trees similar to the Town Hall cell tower. 5.1.5 Complete General Plan Review Councilmember O'Malley reported that the Ad Hoc General Plan Committee had completed their review and update of the General Plan Introduction, Conservation Element, and Open Space and Recreation Element. The General Plan documents had been forwarded to the Planning Commission for their review at their February 1, 2007 meeting. O'Malley explained that the charter for the Committee was to correct any errors; make the language readable and the Elements conforming and bring the information found in the General Plan up to date. Standing Committees had been afforded the opportunity to review and comment on the Elements during the update process. Some additional language had been suggested by the Standing Open Space Committee. It would be highlighted in the draft General Plan to ensure that the Planning Commission and City Council would be cognizant of the proposed additions. 5.1.6 Develop Plan For and Begin the Process of Approval of the Building of a New Town Park/Recreation Facility 5.1.6a Town-wide Recreation Preference Survey Update Parks and Recreation Supervisor Tod McLemore introduced this item to Council. Council had before them a draft "Public Recreation Facilities Survey". McLemore reported that the Parks and Recreation Committee had not met prior to the Council meeting and had not had an opportunity to review the survey. The survey had been developed by staff in response to the City Council's request at the December 14, 2006 meeting and was specific to developing new parks and recreational facilities. Mayor Pro Tem Jones commented that he liked the short, simple survey format but wanted additional clarification language in the preface that explained that the Council was proposing to spend tax dollars on recreational facilities and was seeking input from residents on their recreational facility preference. He requested that equestrian be added to the survey options. Council discussion ensued. Councilmember Mordo suggested that it might be appropriate to include the price range for the options. Council consensus was that the goal of the survey was to identify the relative interest of residents in different recreational options Staff was directed to keep the survey simple. Residents could check their three top preferences out of the options and then identify their number one choice. It was suggested that a space for comments be added to the survey format. Councilmember O'Malley suggested that a more detailed survey could be conducted at a later date after the community's interests were identified. • 7 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 OPENED PUBLIC COMMENT John Harpootlian, Anacapa Drive, commented that there were problems with the proposed survey because it did not denote the associated costs with each recreational option. He suggested that the Council consider using a pollster to review the survey questions. He had forwarded a proposal for an alternative survey to Council. Jim Abraham, resident, suggested that the survey should give an indication of where the recreational facility would be built. He noted that he favored adding horse programs to the survey. Sandy Humphries, Fremont Road, suggested that the Council consider developing a natural lake and wetlands on the Town's O'Keefe property-as a recreation facility. She believed the creation of a lake could potentially.prevent flooding in the area. Kathy Evans, La Loma, questioned if the survey would include the option for the respondents to offer their preference for a facility or make any distinctions. She noted that she would like a full size soccer field but only if it was located at the Little League fields. CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENT Council directed staff to incorporate their suggestions into the survey, including: • additional language in the opening paragraph that explained that the City Council was considering the future expenditure of tax payer dollars for expanded recreational facilities; adding a swimming pool and equestrian facilities as options under item 1#; provide direction in the survey for the residents to select three recreation options and then to identify their.first choice; and, to adding a space for comments. Council consensus was to approve the survey as amended. 6. NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Consideration of Council Meeting Scheduled for January 25, 2007 Due to the timing conflict of the scheduled hearing before the SCCOE Committee and the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, Council consensus was to cancel the January 25, 2007 meeting. Council noted that a Special Meeting would be convened to approve the Sewer Agreement between the Town and City of Los Altos when it was received by the Town. Mayor Pro Tem Jones requested that discussion of the January 22, 2007 meeting be added to the next agenda. 7.

COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS 9.1 Consideration of Town Meeting on Development Issues— Mayor Pro Tem Jones Mayor Pro Tem Jones introduced this item to Council. He offered that he was bringing the topic forward as an informational item and was seeking input from the Councilmembers. Jones proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation that outlined his proposal for a Town Meeting to discuss development issues and garner input on the subject from residents. Jones suggested a panel format for the meeting with a discussion on the basics of planning similar to the informational meeting public education held in November, 2007. Following a brief discussion and explanation of the Town's development codes, the session would offer residents an opportunity to comment on any topic regarding development codes and their experiences with any project including theirs or neighbors. Suggested panelists for the meeting included: staff, Planning Commissioner(s) with a City Councilmember as a facilitator. Jones reviewed the possible options for the resident input that included forwarding the ideas from the Town meeting back to the City Council for review with the residents comments or suggestions then routed either directly to the Planning Commission or to an Ad Hoc Committee and subsequently through the Planning Commission and City Council process. In concluding 10 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 his presentation, Jones outlined his justifications for initiating this discussion. He believed it was of value to learn how the citizens evaluated the Council's performance on key development issues at least once every Council term and noted this would be the first time this subject had been broached during his tenure. Jones advised that he had no preconception on what the findings of the process would be but believed the process itself was of value. Councilmember Mordo suggested that it would be beneficial to survey residents on development prior to the proposed meeting. He proposed a simple survey that would identify the key issues that are of concern to residents and then focus the meeting on those issues. Councilmeinber O'Malley noted that during his first term on the Council there had been numerous late Council meetings on development issues. The incorporation of the Fast Track approval process into the site development process has been very successful and there have been few complaints regarding development the past four years. He agreed that it might be productive to review development issues every Council term but reiterated that there have been few citizen complaints regarding development. O'Malley noted that the Council and Planning Commission have been consistent in their decisions and this has been an important factor in eliminating criticism of the process. He suggested that the topic does bring out passionate comments on the issue. Mayor Warshawsky commented that resident education of the planning/development process and polling the residents for their input were both positive ideas. He favored leaving the topic broad during the initial phase and gaining an understanding of the issues would be of value. City Manager Carl Cahill advised the City Council that several public meetings would be convened for the General Plan update.including the Land Use Element. Planning Director Pedro offered that a Study Session for the General Plan Land Use Element update could be scheduled in April and May on the zoning and site development issues with a Town-wide notice sent inviting residents to participate in the discussions. Mayor Pro Tem Jones requested that the discussion of his proposal be continued to the next Council meeting to afford Councilmember Kerr an opportunity to comment. He supported the use of a survey and scheduling the Town-wide meeting in conjunction with the General Plan hearings. Mayor Pro Tem Jones volunteered to work on the development of the survey with City Manager Cahill and staff. Councilmember Mordo volunteered to assist with the draft survey. OPENED PUBLIC COMMENT Jim Abraham, resident, suggested that he agreed that it was a good idea to survey the • residents however the Council was potentially opening "Pandora's Box" with any discussion on MDA/MFA and slope issues. 11 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 10. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR Lee Ann Meyers, Los Gatos resident, read into the record a letter outlining her grievances with the Friends of Westwind regarding what she deemed was an illegal eviction notice for her horse from Westwind Barn. She asked that the City Council set up a checks and balance system for the Friends of Westwind or engage another entity to manage the facility. Sue Cretekos, resident and Friends of Westwind member, expressed her concern with the recent eviction of a boarder and the lack of proper meeting procedures for the Friends of Westwind Board of Directors meetings. She thanked the Council for the recent improvements to the Town Riding Ring and commented that she uses the facility daily. Sue Sullivan, Campo Vista Lane, commented that the Bullis school neighbors were concerned with the proposal for a full size soccer field that had been tendered by the soccer club. She noted that it would be nice to improve the fields but suggested that if CYSA/MVLA clubs were involved, use of the fields would be intense and activity would be scheduled for all daylight hours and well into the evening. Sullivan added that the neighborhood was very private and quiet. They did not oppose improvement to the field but wanted the Council to give careful deliberation on what type of fields was planned. Jim Abraham, Viscaino Road, offered that he was in concurrence with the speaker who had expressed a concern with the proposal from the soccer club for a full size, artificial Sturf field at Bullis. He questioned what their expectation was for their financial participation. Abraham believed that the disruption to the neighborhood, the required retaining walls, and site drainage issues were a negative to the proposal that should be considered. He suggested that a rehabilitation of the field would be a more appropriate project and offered that his daughter had played AYSO soccer on the Bullis fields. Dr. Sadri Khalessi, Los Altos, commented that he had been forced to move his horse from the Byrne Preserve pasture at Westwind Barn in December, 2006 by the Friends of Westwind. He explained that his eviction had been a very trying and costly experience and his worst experience in over forty years of equestrian activity. He spoke to the continued on-going change with the boarding rules and offered that he believed it was important for the Council to hear his experience. Meg Finn, Redwood City, spoke to the problems she had encountered at Westwind Barn as a trainer. She suggested that the empty spots at the Barn were due to the dysfunction of the Friends of Westwind. Councilmember O'Malley noted that the problems were normal to boarding facilities and questioned if she had not had some mutual confrontations at Westwind. She concurred. Rodney Robinson, Los Altos Hills resident, explained that he was a proponent of a large soccer field noting that there was no field in Los Altos Hills for older children to play soccer. He commented that boys had the Little League fields but that girls had no sports facilities and he believed they should have an equal opportunity to participate in a sports 12 City Council Meeting Minutes January 11,2007 program. In response to a Councilmember query on the soccer season, Robinson explained that the CYSA season consisted of three seasons of competitive play with practice nine months out of the year.
