ITEM NO. 5 5
TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: October 15, 1992
TO: MAYOR AND TOW OUNCIL
FROM: TOWN MANAGER 11K
SUBJECT: CONSIDER REPORT RESCHEDULING 10/26/92 TOWN COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ON TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:
Reschedule October 26th Study Session to a later date.
BACKGROUND:
In 1991 the Council determined that the present traffic mitigation fee schedule has some inequities and
referred the matter to the Planning Commission for a recommendation.
The Planning Commission referred it to the General Plan Committee and the Planning Commission sent the
original recommendation for amendments to the Council in the fall of 1991. The Council referred the
changes back to the General Plan Committee in April 8, 1992 since the Committee developed the present
fee schedule. The Committee recommendation was made on June 10, 1992 and the Council has continued
the public hearing from November 18, 1991 to June 1, July 20 and November 2, 1992.
DISCUSSION:
The currently scheduled study session for October 26 is the last date the Council can hold a study session
before the November 2 public hearing. The study session has been delayed because it has been difficult
to find a date when all Councilmembers can be present.
Mayor Carlson was absent at the meeting when the Council moved the date to October 26 and has since
indicated that he cannot be present on October 26. Therefore, the study session should be rescheduled
and the public hearing on November 2nd continued to a later date. Council may wish to consider extending
both dates to January 1993 due to the election and the impending change in the Council membership.
