TOWN OF LOS GATOS CIP
Council Comments:
Mr. Attaway and Mr. Pirzynski asked that Council consider resurfacing Lot 6, so
that the whole area looks good after Old Town is completed. It was suggested
that this work begin a little before the completion of Old Town.
Mr. Pirzynski emphasized the need to repair Parking Lot 1. He asked that the
striping in Lot 6 be carefully considered because of the problems inherent in the
configuration of that lot.
Mr. Pirzynski pointed out a typo on page 74. The third line from the bottom
should read N. Santa Cruz resurfacing between W. Main St. and Bean Ave. This
change will then allow completion of all of North and South Santa Cruz.
Mr. Pirzynski received confirmation that the lane narrowing and street striping on
Los Gatos Boulevard would be taking place within the next month.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CIP
Agency Comments:
Mr. Pirzynski asked about the timing for the realignment of Bachman Ave. at
Santa Cruz. Staff noted that it would not impact the holiday season.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CIP CONTINUED
Mr. Attaway and Mr. Pirzynski would like to move the Town Plaza improvements
forward. The electrical improvements and the fountain replacement are items
which should be done soon for community benefit.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS
Mr. Hutchins noted that Pat Dando and the Cities Association would like towns to
consider a graffiti ordinance they would be willing to adopt. The Association did
praise Los Gatos for having a program in place already. The association
suggested that an anti graffiti program could be added to the DARE Program.
Mr. Pirzynski asked that the graffiti on the Winchester Union Pacific Overpass be
addressed. The City of San Jose has negotiated for ten years with Union Pacific
and having read San Jose's contract found that Union Pacific was required to
maintain their bridges in San Jose. Tom Johnston in Pat Dando's Office may
offer insight on this issue.
Mr. Attaway asked if a Councilmember would take his place at the CDAC
meeting this Wednesday at 4:30 PM. Mr. Hutchins volunteered. Mr. Attaway will
be attending the opening of the Frank Lloyd Wright House at Stanford University
at that time.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Hutchins adjourned this evening's meeting at 8:35 P.M.
