- Road, veering back to the line of the Hill Haven Subdivision,

-
ofHilltop Drive.

too foresaid request of the County would in no way jeopardize
:the .position of the Town with Los Altos; however, as Los Altos
Chas refused sewer connections to service property in unincor-
porated areas

situation for Los Altos Hills residents, Councilman Aiken

feasibleto initiate an assessment district within this area

representing the County, assured the Council that the County's
primary interest is to have as much as possible of this area
severed.

position, as well as Charles Walter, 24240 Summerhill Road, who
was interested in hearing the cost of an assessment district if, '
formed by the Los Altos Hills residents in this area.
Feasibility of such a district was discussed.

no longer any urgency, the following action was taken at
8:35 F. M.:
