pleted from Arastradero Road to the summit as well as around the catch
basins; (3) Sand bagging had been done for erosion control; (4) An under-
ground pipe had been partially installed to resolve the drainage problems
on Lot 25; and, (5) All of the hydroseeding had not yet taken effect.
Councilman Perkins discussed with the City Engineer the problems being
resolved relative to the retention basin and security control needed for
this development.
The City Attorney then introduced an original Certification by City Clerk
pertaining to an Initiative Petition filed with the Town for Ordinance
amendment, stating that the County Registrar of Voters had determined the
number of registered voters'signatures had failed to reach the 10% required
to place this amendment before the Council for action. The City Attorney
further outlined the judgment of the court in favor of the Town on the
Bellucci vs. the Town of Los Altos Hills case recently heard. At the
present time, the revocation of the Condition Use Permit stands thus closing
Adobe Creek Country Club pending appeal or re -submittal.
Councilmembers discussed the City Manager's Report with consensus in favor
of Mayor Hillestad's suggestion for a Town sponsored "Safety Awareness
Run". It was determined to direct this item to the Traffic & Public Safety
Committee and organized jogging groups to determine routes, regulations and
ideas which would be mutually beneficial to all concerned. Councilman
Perkins questioned the problems with motorcycle traffic on the Roo Subdi-
