Helgesson called this regular adjourned meeting of the City <br />Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills to order at 7:45 P.M. in the Council <br />Chambers of the Tann Hall, 26379 Fremont Road, Los Altos Hills, with the fol- <br />lowing members answering roll call: Present: Councilmen Davey, Kubby, Miller, <br />and Mayor Helgesson. Absent: Councilman Grabowski. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVE: Commissioner Mueller. <br />NOTE: Since the agenda for the Regular May 15th Council Meeting was only <br />partially completed and the balance was discussed at this regular ad- <br />journed meeting on May 16th; and the items were discussed out of the <br />sequence shown on the agenda, the separate recorded minutes of May <br />15th and 16th are prepared in the sequence of the agenda for clarity. <br />UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: <br />ACTION ON REQUEST TO ABANDON "FUTURE STREET WIDENING" STRIPS ALONG FREMONT ROAD. <br />Staff reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation that the "Future Street <br />Widening" strips along portions of Fremont Road be removed. It was noted that <br />these strips were established when it was thought Fremont Road might become the <br />major traffic arterial to the Stanford Industrial Park, but it is now felt that <br />with the Expressway and Freeway, Fremont Road will never need to be widened. <br />Lengthy Council discussion ensued with floor comments heard from Pathway Com- <br />mittee Chairman Saviano. Staff was requested to further study the need for <br />retention of these future street widening strips as it relates to the General <br />Plan Transportation Element and then report back to the Council with a recom- <br />mendation. <br />UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2: <br />REQUEST FOR ACTION ON "TOPICS" MONEY. <br />Town Engineer Crabtree reported on action required to hold 1971-72 money, which <br />may be used at a later date or transferred to a neighboring city as our share <br />of a joint project. Mayor Helgesson defined TOPICS: Traffic Operations Program <br />to Increase Capacity and Safety. Use of this money is restricted to improve- <br />ment of existing road systems. Following discussion Council concurred to hear <br />Resolution No. 668 later in the agenda. <br />UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 3: <br />DISCUSSION OF AND ACTION ON REPORT FROM THE PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMISSION ON <br />POLICE SERVICE. <br />(This item was discussed at the May 15th meeting which Councilman Grabowski <br />attended but is shown here to provide continuity with the agenda.) <br />I Staff reviewed that Chairman R. C. Cheney of the Public Protection Commission <br />*4W had presented the majority report on the formation of a Town Police Department <br />at the May 13 1972 Council Meeting, but discussion had been continued for pos- <br />sible action. A minority report prepared by Mr. F. Wheeler was read. Chairman <br />
