TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 06/15/2021 ITEM NO: 13 DESK ITEM
DATE: June 15, 2021
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Direct Staff to Add Rainbow Stripes to Two Crosswalks on East Main Street in
Front of Town Hall
REMARKS:
Public comment and individual Council Members are inquiring about how this item was placed
on the Council agenda. This Desk Item provides additional details.
As mentioned in the staff report, the City of Cupertino installed rainbow striping. The Mayor
asked what it would take for Los Gatos to do something similar. After staff’s evaluation, we
determined that it would be best for this to be an agenda item to provide the entire Council
with the opportunity to consider the proposed installation.
From a process perspective, Town Policy 2-01 “Town Agenda and Format” guides the creation
of the agenda. The Policy states in part, that the agenda is prepared by staff in consultation
with the Mayor for the Mayor' s final approval. For this item, the Mayor made the decision to
place this item on the agenda for the Council’s consideration.
In July, the Policy Committee is expected to discuss the Town’s Flag Policy and identify potential
criteria to determine when additional flags could be flown (e.g., Pride Flag, Ireland Flag, etc.).
Any recommendations would come to the full Council for action. Similarly, the Policy
Committee could also recommend the establishment of a new Policy to govern requests
affecting Town infrastructure, which would also come to Council for final decision.
