NRissioner Perkins requested information from the City Attorney concerning
the Financial Disclosure Form, required by tho State, to be comnleted by all
City Council Members, Planning Commissioners and the City Manager, stating
that Los Altos Hills was in a unique position, as no members worked within
the Town's limits.
City Attorney Gillio discussed the interpretation of the form, prepared by
the Secretary of State. It is a uniform form, used state-wide, and even
though one does not work in Los Attos Hills, it does not excuse ono from
completing the form. Each official must complete the form, but it is up to
that official to decide on how the form will be carol -t.'.
Commissioner Young suggested the Council pass a resolution objecting to the
Financial Disclosure Form, and requesting that it be anoealed.
