Council Comments: Mrs. Benjamin urged those with questions concerning the budget to come to the Clerk's Office or Library to read the appropriate documents and to speak to staff regarding their concerns. Noted that the Library will be closed the week before Christmas as one of this years' budget cuts. Spoke of the priorities within the community as they relate to the budget cuts which have been made over the last four years. Also how this has affected long range goals and plans, and how the utility tax will ease the impact on the services which the community has grown to expect. Mr. O'Laughlin spoke of the decision making authority of the Council. Noted that the voice of the people can change those in the decision making position during election procedures. The sunset clause was one request which most of the speakers at the public hearings have asked for and which Council has supported. The continual erosion of Town services is being addressed by Council and participating citizens in the adoption of a utility tax for a period of five years. This measure of addressing the Town's financial shortfall was developed from the community financial forums held last year as an answer to the Town's failing infrastructure.

Commended Council for supporting the Los Gatos Boulevard vision and plan. Spoke in favor of approving the plans, mission, goals and objectives. Asked that the Boulevard Charette be treated as a fluid guideline and direction but not as a non flexible, frozen, final conclusion. Use the ideas creatively and allow them to unfold naturally, please do not take this creativity and use it with constrictive oppressiveness. Mrs. Benjamin spoke of the last General Plan meeting and the discussion regarding the energy flow generated from the Community and the Los Gatos Blvd. Alliance interaction. She noted that the General Plan Committee needed to plan for some agenda topics which would address implementation regarding the ideas and designs which have been submitted by the charette. Mrs. Lubeck addressed the need for an implementation discussion and methods of procedure for acting on the charette designs within the boundaries of the communities resources Catherine Hoffman, 105 Garden Hill Drive, as a residential member of the Los Gatos Boulevard Alliance, gave input on the cooperative venture and spoke of the ideas and plans as a beginning which need more time and thought as the planning progresses.

Speakers continued Carl Cilker, 1631 Willow Street, San Jose, spoke in favor of the mission, goals and objective in Item 29A. Emphasized that there is no plan for the boulevard yet. The plan is under discussion and being worked on but it is not established in concept at this time. Therefore asking a developer to conform to a plan that does not exist will create many problems for the Town and applicant. Applicants may be advised as to the status of the Alliance's work and the applicants may incorporate the concepts as they are identified and developed in the mission and objectives of the Alliance. Mayor O'Laughlin alluded to interim guidelines that could be used. Spoke of flexibility and parameters of those ideas which have already been expressed. Any developer considering working on the Boulevard should at a minimum be familiar with the work the Charette has done so far. Barbra Toren, 15933 Orange Blossom, as a resident of Blossom Manor, spoke of the benefits to her community due to the work of the Boulevard Committee. Mrs. Benjamin discussed saving attachment two, Item 29B, for the General Plan Committee to give more time to and for Council to consider ways to provide resources for the implementation of this activity. Mr. Anderson, Town Attorney, noted that the policy now in effect is only altered by paragraph five. Paragraphs one through four were adopted by Council six months ago. Elizabeth Smith, noted the great variety of ideas expressed during the Charette, and the inappropriateness of trying to take one of these ideas and microscopically review it as the ultimate resolution for the Boulevard. Mr. Attaway believes the issue of the development applications should return to the General Plan Committee for additional consideration. Motion by Mrs. Benjamin, seconded by Mrs. Lubeck, that Council adopt Resolution 1995-88 entitled, RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS ESTABLISHING THE LOS GATOS BOULEVARD PLAN - MISSION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES, and send back to the July meeting of the General Plan Committee the Resolution (Attachment 2) expanding policies for development applications along Los Gatos Boulevard from Spencer Ave. to Route 85.

She asked for Council's approval and noted the time involved in planning this event, including the musical groups that are committed. Barbra Toren, 15933 Orange Blossom, spoke in support of the Music in the Plaza events and the July 4th concept. Mayor O'Laughlin suggested that the July 4th concept be celebrated on the 2nd during the regular Sunday Music in the Plaza event from 5 to 7 pm. If more is planned for the 4th of July then more of the Town should be involved with the initial planning, such as clubs, schools and businesses. TC:D7:MM061995 June 19, 1995 Los Gatos, California INDEPENDENCE DAY FESTIVAL CONT. Motion by Mrs. Lubeck, seconded by Mr. Blanton, that Council deny the request to hold Music in the Plaza on Tuesday, July 4, 1995, but urge consideration of holding such an event next year with full community involvement. Carried unanimously. COUNCIL COMMITTEES (31.20) Mr. O'Laughlin noted the Brazilian festivities to take place August 6th through 13th, which would recognize the Brazilian World Cup win last year.

The Los Gatos Theatre is planning to show Brazilian films and some restaurants will be featuring Brazilian menus. Music in the Plaza would feature Brazilian music. A small reception would be held at the Civic Center to welcome the Brazilian dignitaries. There will be no need to expend any additional funds on police services.
