Subject: 9/18/18 Town Council Meeting
Mr. Mayor, Council , Town Manager & Town Attorney:
My take for your consideration:
1. Closed session
TC is between a rock and a hard place. High cost of living for workers and
TC strapped by high unfunded liabilities. Unions already bargained a fabulous deal with
pensions. TC’s first obligation is to the people of Los Gatos. High wages cuts services elsewhere
and reduces monies to cut unfunded liabilities. How to get out of financial hole (before
recession)? Raise taxes, cut services, keep wages down—everyone gets a hair cut.
2. Conflict-of-interest—makes sense.
3. Thumbs up. Shop for best consultants. City of Bellevue network with. Cutting edge.
Solicit Stanford graduate students to get involved.
Traffic relief on Winchester for residents living near Netflix structures. $350K avail per
settlement.

PROJECT 813-0227 TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODERNIZATION PROJECT
1. ACCEPT A VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE (VRF) GRANT FROM THE
VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (VTA) TO UPGRADE TRAFFIC
SIGNALS TOWNWIDE.
2. AUTHORIZE THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL FUTURE GRANT
DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS WITH VTA.
"Online customer sign ups started on August 20 and the
responses were very strong. By the August 31 deadline,
there were a total of 150 customers signed up for the
service. Table 1 shows the customers by route."
(Perhaps that 100 cars off the road every day, cool……….)
4. Seems ok.

5. Bus Program—Bravo!
Win, win, win. Recoup as much funds as practically possible from parents and
school district(s) to reduce pressure on town budget. Look to Danville model.
6. It is what it is. Tough choices will have be made at some point. I encourage the
TC, and the committees and staff to continue to address the issue of unfunded
liabilities.
