He thanked the Council for the opportunity to meet with them to discuss their goals and presented a list of their plans for 1993-94. First he commented on the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Citizens Police Academy which he and Barbara had completed and which Barbara Danluck was now attending. It was an excellent program which aimed at improving the image and relationship of the sheriff's department with the public. For Council's review they submitted a detailed report on this program. Mr. Vetterlein also reported on the neighborhood coordinators and noted that presently they had one opening. There was a map at Town Hall which showed the neighborhoods and coordinators and the Committee was planning a neighborhood coordinators meeting for the beginning of 1994 (no October 6, 1993 Adjourned Regualar Meeting date had been set). The committee was also discussing the possibility of a neighborhood drill toward facilitating efficiency in an emergency. The committee was also working on completing a telephone tree for the neighborhood coordinators. The subject of a Safety Fair was raised for the spring of 1994. Various locations were discussed including San Antonio Shopping Center. It was agreed the committee would review different sites and make a recommendation to the Council. The committee structure was also addressed with the chairman noting the importance of strengthening the committee involvement. On this subject he noted that one of their committeemembers, Brian Guilbert, who had been appointed to the committee in February of 1993, had missed most of the meetings. With Council's approval, he had written a draft letter to Mr. Guilbert stating that while they appreciated his interest they needed someone on the committee who would be available to attend the meetings and be an active participant. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To authorize the Chairman of the Safety Committee to send a letter to Brian Guilbert concerning his status on the Safety Committee. The committee also asked for direction regarding safety issues brought to their attention, i.e. requests for stop signs. It was agreed they would review such requests and submit a recommendation to the Council. The committee would also advise the City Manager and Director of Public Works of such requests and receive their input. The City Manager should also be advised of any concerns brought to the committee's attention regarding fire hazards. Mr. Vetterlein stated that one of the goals of the committee was to attend City Council Meetings. While Council believed this was commendable, they noted it was not required. Council also mentioned that the Chairman of the Safety Committee should receive agendas for the Emergency Managers Meetings, the Los Altos Fire Protection Distict Board Meetings and copies of the monthly fire reports from the Los Altos Fire Department. A complete list of the Safety Committee's goals for 1993-94 is on file at Town Hall. The committee thanked the Council for their support and noted they were looking forward to the completion of many tasks. The Council also thanked the Safety Committee for all of their work and contributions to the Town. 3. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR October 6, 1993 Adjourned Regualar Meeting 4.
