COUNTY REFERRAL CONT.
Council Comments: Mrs. Lubeck feels that a golf course is managed open space and that the
venue for hearing this subject is at the County. Mr. Blanton agrees with the goal course
managed open space if the land can not be purchased as park land, but would like Council to
take an opinion on the proposal. Mrs. Benjamin would like to view the property and have
additional information before she make any declarative comments. She is very interested in
seeing a comprehensive specific plan for the Lexington Hills to show how many homes could be
expected in that vicinity over time. She would not like to make any comments on golf courses
until she sees what will be neighboring the project and the impact that might have on the roads
and services. She requests that the County do a Master Plan for the area. Her feeling is that
the golf course will be growth indusive. Mr. O'Laughlin also spoke for a comprehensive plan
of the area which would delineate strict guidelines for development. He suggested dedicating
some of the land to open space. Mr. Attaway would like more information but until that time
he thinks the Council should remain neutral.
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. O'Laughlin, that Council accept the report for filing,
keeping a neutral position, and forward the minutes with discussion and concerns to the County.
Carried unanimously.

Motion by Mrs. Benjamin, seconded by Mr. Attaway, to encourage social consciousness among

problems; to be cognizant of the waste products in our streets due to take out food containers.
Carried unanimously.
COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE/1995-96 (27.10)
Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. O'Laughlin, that Council approve revised Town

Carried unanimously.
COUNCIL COMMITTEES (28.20)
Mr. Blanton reported that he would be resigning from the Solid Waste Commission due to a
conflict of schedules. He reported that the Vasona Corridor project would need matching funds
from the neighboring cities in order to keep a prioritized position for completion. Mrs. Lubeck
noted that ABAG General Council meeting was coming up and she will be unable to attend.
Mr. Attaway reported that West Valley Sanitation had a litigation problem involving a sewer line
in Los Gatos and was discussing taking the maintenance of the lines from Los Gatos. Town
needs to send a detailed report to the District and hold discussions with them. Mrs. Benjamin
reported on the League of California Cities vote on radar cameras in police vehicles.
