Los Altos Hills Amateur
Radio Club
Presentation to the LAH Town Council
15 February 2024
Item 12B
Ham radio is essential to the Town
➢ Since the dissolution of the Emergency Communications Committee (ECC), no LAH group is focused on emergency ham radio communications ○ EPRC charter is different, and it doesn’t have the ability to recruit and train ham operators or maintain the Town’s EOC radio room equipment
➢ Town’s EOC radio room is not currently maintained nor staffed ○ A weak link in the Town’s emergency preparedness planning ➢ No central LAH ham radio community since dissolution of ECC ○ Local ham radio network run every Monday night so hams can test their equipment and maintain skills
○ On volunteer basis, Neil Katin ensures network is run by recruiting an operator for each week’s net but individual participation is limited
2
Introducing the LAHARC
➢ Club established to serve hams in the Town and in the LAHCFD ○ Open to anyone 15 years and older interested in ham radio ○ Website: www.lahhams.com
➢ California nonprofit
○ Has EIN tax ID
○ Draft bylaws available at https://l.lahhams.com/bylaws ➢ Acting officers and directors
○ Bill Lattin, President - EPRC Associate Member, CERT Supervisor ○ Neil Katin, Treasurer - EPRC Associate Member, CERT Supervisor, SCC ARES-RACES EC ○ Dave Stewart, Director - EPRC Secretary, CERT Supervisor 3
Club Goals
➢ Encourage/develop a vibrant ham radio community within the Town and LAHCFD ➢ Provide a social and educational environment to meet fellow hams and learn about various radio technologies
➢ Underpin emergency communications functions for the Town ○ Provide ham operators to CERT for events such as July 4th Parade, drills, etc ○ Identify and train interested members on the operation and maintenance of the Town’s radio room equipment
■ These members would staff radio room in an emergency and also for Town/CERT and Town/County drills
○ At some point in the future, Club may take over repeater maintenance/operation from the LAH Emergency Group
4
What we need from the Town
➢ Continue to provide meeting location (thank you!)
➢ Continue to support Club outreach activities to the LAH/LAHCFD ham radio community to grow its membership
○ City Manager’s Weekly report, Our Town articles, etc
➢ Provide 24 hour access to identified/qualified club members to the EOC radio room ➢ Provide up to $1000/year in funding to be spent on: Town radio room equipment and software upgrades; member education & training; member meetings & outreach expenses ○ Note: for desired/necessary radio room equipment/infrastructure upgrades over $750, Club will present upgrade recommendations to the EPRC
○ EPRC will review and determine if they should be sent to Town Council for action 5
Action required
➢ We request the Town Council support the
the LAHARC to ensure this critical
emergency communications resource is
available when needed
➢ Thank you!

Background Information
7
What is Ham Radio?
➢ Small fixed and portable radios which can be used to transmit voice or data over distances from few miles to thousands of miles
➢ FCC license is required for individuals and “stations” to operate ➢ Provides resilient communications
○ Doesn’t rely on cell towers or the availability of the internet ○ Battery/car/generator backup power
○ The more licensed operators with radios, the more resilient the system ➢ Santa Clara County and State of California EOCs all have ham capability integrated into their emergency operations plans for emergency services coordination
➢ LAHCFD CERTs use ham radios for critical infrastructure and Town surveys 8
Town’s historical use of ham radio
➢ In event of cell/internet failure, Town relies on ham radio to provide ○ Emergency comms from Town EOC to County and State
○ Comms between the Town EOC and its CERT team based at Foothill College ➢ Town recognized importance of ham radio and established the Emergency Communications Committee (ECC) in 2000
○ ECC equipped, staffed and managed Town’s ham radio room in the Emergency Operations Center
○ ECC also built and managed other infrastructure such as the local ham radio repeaters which facilitate local operation

C. Community Development Director
Community Development Director Evans explained that his department has been publicizing the new Leaf Blower Ordinance since last fall, culminating in postcards being mailed out to all residents in town. This has allowed us to continue the education process on the new regulations before people get back into heavy usage of leaf blowers.
Director Evans further explained that Senior Planner Elaine Ling has tendered her resignation. She has been a valuable member of the Community Development Team, helping lead both the Housing Element Update and the permanent SB 9 ordinance adoption, and we wish her success in her new endeavor. He said he will be working with the other planners in Community Development to ensure that Elaine’s projects continue to be processed while we explore options with the Town Manager and ASD staff.
D. Public Works Director
Public Works Director Kim explained that with the Council’s approval to purchase a bucket truck back in October 2023, staff was able to quickly procure the bucket truck. The town received the equipment on December 29. Staff appreciates Council’s continuous commitment to support staff with the necessary equipment for maintenance work. Equipment as such would normally take over a year to procure, but they were able to get the equipment in two months. The Public Works maintenance team is getting trained to operate the equipment for aerial work, and the equipment will go through the necessary certification process.
Also, the final design projects for the Heritage House Upgrade and Corporation Yard Locker Room projects kicked off in January. The architectural firms hired for the projects are actively working on gathering data and finalizing the concept designs.
Staff will continue to work with committees and update the Council. If all goes well, both projects could start construction in 2024.
For the Pathway Fee Nexus Study project, staff is gathering up the pathways data for past few years to share with the consultant. Staff will be working closely with the Pathways Committee and Finance and Investment Committee on this project.

January 23rd CC Goal Setting
The annual City Council goal setting meeting will take place on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. At this point all the committees, council, and staff have been heard, incorporated, and included into the process. The plan is hefty but is manageable given staff resources and budget availability.

Council Chambers AV Project
The work has commenced and once we complete our goal setting meeting on January 23, the crew will be fully committed to getting as much done as possible until our next meeting on February 1, 2024.
Battery Backup Project Update
The town passed its inspection with PG&E for the Battery Energy Storage System CIP. This is good news – the construction fencing will be taken down soon between the Council Chambers and the heritage house.
We are one step closer to turning on the system and having the Town Hall operate on battery and solar power. Look out for news on a ribbon cutting event soon.
Residential Burglary Update
Thanks to the cooperative work of our County Sherriff, we have seen a decline in the number of residential burglaries. According to our county the numbers per quarter were:
Q1 - 18
Q2 - 15
Q3 - 18
Q4 - 10
Some positive trends that we believe have led to the lower numbers include the increase of neighborhood watch from 10 to almost 20 groups, increased SCCSD patrols and response to calls for duty, the apprehension of a number of suspects involved in crimes in and around LAH, the private security, ALPRs, and community awareness and vigilance.

Vice Mayor Schmidt stated that at the February Council Meeting we will be seeing a proposal to reinstate that Ham Club for Emergency Communication.
Mayor Mok explained that all the Ad Hoc Committees should be discussed amongst Council to determine which committees are still active and which ones to sunset.
Assistant to the City Manager Cody Einfalt listed the ad hoc committees that have not been sunset.
Council took a brief break at this time and returned to Open Session at 7:00 p.m.
8. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Introduction of Ordinance 611 (First Reading) of the Town of Los Altos Hills Repealing and Replacing Chapter 1.10 (Green Building Standard Code) of Title 8 Los Altos Hills Municipal Code and Adopt by Reference Local Amendments that add Local Energy Reach Code Requirements for New and Existing Residential Buildings. (Staff: J. Bradford)
Assistant Community Development Director Jay Bradford presented the item.
Council asked questions and received answers.
Council discussion ensued.
Mayor Mok opened the Public Hearing.
Mike Salameh, Los Alto Hills, Member, EIC, spoke about the key objectives of the EIC and how the 2019 Reach Code drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions in new construction. The proposed modification applies the same electrification rules to major remodels, which are much more numerous than brand new construction.
Allan Epstein, Los Alto Hills, was unclear how the town has any authority to regulate emissions.
City Attorney Steve Mattas explained.
Anand Raganathan, Los Alto Hills, said he was happy that Council was discussing this item and would be even happier when the ordinance was adopted.
Kjell Karlsson, Los Alto Hills, said he was not commenting on the merits of this but is concerned about the way the court hammered the City of Berkeley.
Mayor Mok closed the Public Hearing.
Council discussion continued.

WORK PLAN
A. Introductory Remarks
City Manager Peter Pirnejad provided introductory remarks.
Facilitator Dan Rich, Renne Public Management Group, San Francisco, introduced the agenda and ground rules for the day, as well as the foundational principles for goal setting.
City Manager Pirnejad explained the following:
In order to accomplish the priorities of the Council in an orderly and effective manner the Town goes through a comprehensive goal-setting process followed by a budgeting exercise every year. As has been the case over the past two years the Council has undertaken a goal-setting process in January with feedback coming from the Council, Committees, and staff. This has been a comprehensive and collaborative process that involved multiple stakeholders and ultimately the formation of a draft work-plan that reflects the priorities of the Council for the coming year. This year we went through a similar process with some learnings over the past year.
Item 14E 01.23.24 Draft Minutes
2 City Council Special Meeting Minutes
January 23, 2024
The process of preparing a set of priorities begins with a review of the adopted workplan from the prior year. In January of 2023, staff presented a proposed set of priorities for the year that reflected the goals of the Planning Commission and the 12 other standing committees, the City Council, and staff. The entire Workplan and attachments were presented to the Council on January 25, 2023, followed by the adopted Workplan presented to Council on February 16, 2023. The goals were reviewed by staff and prioritized prior to presenting them to the entire Council in a public meeting. By the end of the session the Council had received public input and eventually adopted a Workplan with modifications that represented the shared Council vision of what the staff should focus on throughout the year.
Over the course of the year the committees, Council, and staff were faced with new challenges and priorities that were accommodated through the year. In the end, the Council adopted 47 projects as part of the 2023 Workplan as well as several additional projects that were added to the Workplan during the year. A lesson learned over the course of that effort was that although the staff, Council, planning commission and standing committees appreciated the structure, we collectively need additional flexibility built into the next Workplan to accommodate new priorities as they come up over the year. Another lesson was that the projects themselves took longer than anticipated due to disruptions such as staff turnover, competing priorities, new priorities, state mandates, natural disasters, and unforeseen events. A mid-year progress report of the Workplan was presented to the Council on August 17, 2023.
In 2023 the one-year Workplan adopted by the Council included a total of 47 key projects made up of 92 individual milestones. They included things such as adopting the housing element, adopting reach codes, conducting an emergency drill, preparing a broadband feasibility study, and more. The status of those Workplan items was reviewed by the Council in August 2023. Back in August we completed approximately 41 of the 92 milestones and 33 were in progress. By the end of 2023 we had completed 60 milestones and 12 are in progress. In addition to the adopted Workplan the Council and staff added 15 additional projects. They included things such as filling key vacancies, a pathway nexus study, and more. Since August when staff reported to the Council, we have completed 2 more of the additional projects. Therefore, of the 15 additional projects 8 have carried over to the following year. Most of the projects (both original and added) that were not completed in 2023 have been carried over to the proposed new two-year Workplan (2024- 25).
Assembling the 2024-25 workplan is a process of constant improvement, and this year Town staff took a different approach in assembling the Town’s goals. Staff observed in several prior Workplans that many projects that get identified every year take more than a single year to complete. This has led to multiple carryover items from one Workplan to the next. Furthermore, the formation of the Workplan is a major endeavor and moving to a two-year plan also saves staff time.
Therefore, staff assembled a two-year Workplan as opposed to setting the priorities for a single year. Staff’s hope is that this shift in the Town’s goal setting process will reduce

planning work for staff and better align with the Town’s goals that are set at the beginning of 2024. Although it will be a two-year cycle, there will still be mid-year updates and an opportunity, a year from now, to adjust the Workplan given any changed circumstances.
To kick off the 2024-25 Workplan, staff started the process by re-engaging with Frank Benest, ICMA Executive Leader, to build a process with staff to collect and consider all the priorities from the various stakeholders into a draft Workplan that we can present to the Council. In addition, we engaged Dan Rich from RPMG, an established and experienced public sector leader with deep experience dealing with Council and communities, to develop a fair and collaborative process to walk the Council, community, commission, and committees through a process of adopting our 2024-25 proposed Workplan. The ultimate goal was to create a Workplan that is manageable by staff and considers the needs of the Council, committees, and commission. Once adopted, the staff will build a draft budget based on the goals.
The effort started in September when City Manager Peter Pirnejad and staff met with the Planning Commission and every standing committee to walk them through the goal setting process thereby asking them to review their accomplishments from 2023 as well as set their goals for 2024-2025. Dan Rich followed up with one-on-one interviews in September with each of the Council members to discuss their specific goals for the upcoming two years. While the committees started meeting over the next several months to discuss and vote on their shared goals, the staff went through an organized process to collect and prioritize projects for a 2-year Workplan. This involved two separate half-day retreats on September 27th and November 8th to collect and discuss the priorities for the next two years. By the end of the year the staff had assembled a proposed Workplan that considered mandates, carryover items from 2023, staff-identified priorities as well as current goals assembled from the Council, planning commission, and standing committees. Also considered was the reality of staff and resource constraints. To help the Council, staff also took an additional step to add budget approximations next to the items to help the prioritization process.
On January 11th a special meeting of the City Council was held to provide an opportunity for the planning commission and standing committees to share their 2023 accomplishments and their 2024-2025 goals. The goals were collected by staff prior to the January 11th meeting and considered in the development of the proposed 2024-2025 Council Workplan. The purpose of that Council meeting was to give the commission and committees an opportunity to present their goals and for the Council and for the community to ask any questions.
The main body of the proposed Workplan is comprised of items identified that carried over from the previous year and new items. The matrix includes a range of data that will be reviewed in the staff presentation. It has enough perspective for the Council to discuss strategic direction and detail for staff to prioritize work and build a budget that anticipates the Council’s top priorities. The proposed 2-year Workplan itself is made up of 63 key projects which include 138 milestones. The Workplan also has a list of eight (8) items in the “Parking Lot” that were identified by the Council that the staff felt needed more

discussion to determine if they were high enough priorities to be in the Workplan (likely at the expense of currently recommended items).
The reason this Workplan is so much larger than the previous one is first, because it is a two-year plan and second, the staff included everything that it could think of, that takes months or quarters to complete. Although many day-to-day operations such as issuing permits or processing entitlements were not included, large operational efforts such as the budget, audit, and sizable CIPs were included because of the allocation of staff and budget resources necessary. Given the number of priorities, this year’s Workplan is very comprehensive and reflects the staff’s full capacity. The staff made every effort to reduce the Workplan but in the end the proposed Workplan was considered the highest priority and reflects the collective vision of what needs to be done. Any significant changes or additions to the Workplan will need to include reprioritization and potentially the addition of staffing and budget resources. It should also be noted that the proposed Workplan will also need to be budgeted and during that time if the Council or staff feels we need to reduce the Workplan due to budget constraints that may come to light later in the year.
In late 2023 the committees all provided their goals for the next two years and those lengthy conversations by and with the committee resulted in a list of projects that every committee wanted to accomplish over the next two years. In reviewing the list of projects, staff attempted to accommodate as many of the projects as we could with respect to staff constraints and capacity. The comprehensive list of committee projects includes all projects adopted by the 12 committees and commission, assembled, and presented to the Council at the January 11 meeting. Over the course of several months staff met with every committee chair and Council liaison to review their specific goals and how they fit into the entire Workplan. The entire list of committee goals has been color coded to include projects incorporated into the proposed Workplan, projects that the committees have been asked to take the lead on, as well as what projects were not on the Workplan this cycle. The committees have all had a chance to voice their perspective and have come to some level of consensus with the staff and the Council liaison. In some cases, the committee has or may ask the Council for more resources. In those cases, the Workplan will need to be reprioritized and additional staff and funding may be required.
At this point the entire Council, commissions, and committees have seen and added feedback on the Workplan. The staff is prepared to present the Workplan to the Council at the January 23rd meeting and make any changes or reprioritize as identified by the Council prior to proposed adoption in February.
In light of the need for flexibility and for the committees to be heard, a new process is being recommended for bringing items forward outside of this formal goal setting process. If a committee (or a Council member) wants to add a new work item, they can have it added to a Council agenda; Council will first decide if it is worthy of consideration and if a majority agrees, then staff would return at a future meeting with a follow up report outlining the implications of adding the new item (deleted or deferring an existing one, additional resources, etc.).

Understandably many things are outside of our control like staff turnover, economic downturn, new Council priorities, a spike in residential burglaries, and unforeseen challenges like the wave of atmospheric rivers that pummeled the entire state. The staff and Council will work together to adjust and pivot in light of new developments with the goal of keeping the community informed as we work through the calendar year. The important takeaways are to understand that the Workplan is a living document that can change, extend, or adjust depending on the Council’s direction. However, to ensure that we can properly allocate staff and budget resources to the identified Council priorities on the adopted Workplan, it is important that the Council take very seriously the addition of new goals. As noted above, we ask that the Council take a two-step process to change the Workplan.
DISCUSSION:
Following the Council’s receipt of this packet the City Manager will have met individually with each Council member to answer questions and walk through the entire process. The staff encourages written comments or questions from the public which we will attempt to answer prior or at the public meeting and include as part of the public record.
The guiding principles are proposed to be similar to those at the 2023 Priority Setting Session. They are as follows:
• Day-to-day operations take up 85-95% of our organizational capacity. • If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority; only extraordinary or critical items should be added to the list mid-cycle. If new items are added, changes to the adopted plan are likely to be necessary.
• Upcoming budget allocations need to be aligned with the Council’s Priority Policies and the related key projects.
• The City Council’s role is to provide strategic direction and policy guidance, approving budget and staffing resources.
• Management’s role is to implement the Council’s adopted Workplan while, recommending resources needed, identifying reasonable timelines, achieving key milestones, noting constraints, and recommending adjustments along the way.
Going forward, the staff will bring back the final Workplan at the February 15th City Council meeting for final proposed approval. The Workplan considers items that will have budget implications and will be used to construct the proposed two-year FY 24- 26 Budget that will come to the Council in May 2024 for approval. Over the course of the year, like 2023, the staff will provide the Council a progress report in the summer/fall followed by a review and possible adjustments in January 2025. Staff will accommodate minor additions to the Workplan that do not take significant staff and budget resources. As noted previously in the “two-step process,” staff recommends that, going forward, the Council be asked to weigh the importance of new priorities while considering the adopted Workplan and make trade-offs prior to adding new goals.

Allan Epstein, Los Altos Hills, said was unclear on the status Finance Investment Committee and the 5-year plan and asked for direction from City Council. Mr. Epstein would like to establish a good working relationship with LAH County Fire District for emergency communication. Also, he wanted to see sewer system plans on the plan, he suggests an update on sewer plans at least once a year.
Carol Gottlieb, Los Altos Hills, would like water conservation because the current allotment is high. Ms. Gottlieb stated that the History Committee would like to see historic designation at the Heritage House and the water tower. She would like to see the green sheet codified to allow animals in Los Altos Hills.
Kjell Karlsson, Los Altos Hills, wants to make sure that the committees have access to City Council and not be forced to go through a liaison. Mr. Karlsson would like to see collaboration with other cities.
Rajiv Bhateja, Los Altos Hills, thanked Council for allowing Committees to bring proposals to Council in corporation with the liaison. Mr. Bhateja stated that at the request of Council Member Swan he sent out a letter to residence of the Town to gain support for an ordinance to preserve the character by addressing three points: pathways, allow large animals, and to prevent retail/commercial business and received 135 signatures in support of this in 48 hours.
Duffy Price, Los Altos Hills, stated that she involved with the 2002 initiative that was signed by a number of residents and Council approved it. Supports what Council Member Linda Swan is trying to do.
John Swan, Los Altos Hills, doesn’t want a new Council to change the character of the Town and wants to take the action that was taken in 2002 to happen again.
Further Council discussion ensued on potential additions to the proposed work plan.
The City Council elected to add two items to the Work Plan:
1. Review appropriate design and alignment for Pathway on Page Mill/Via Feliz with the Pathways Committee as well as Old Page Mill to Christopher Lane once an easement is obtained.
2. Engage with a consultant to prepare an Emergency Communication Notification Study in consultation with EPRC and the Council
To accommodate these projects in 2024-25, Council agreed to remove and/or modify the following items from the Work Plan:
1. Water Conservation (Removed)
2. Expand FireWise Program (Removed and Ask Fire District to take the lead)
3. Fremont/Redwood Grove Path (Report back after attorney discussions to determine next steps with respect to the established 2-step process)

4. Lobbying efforts that were being pursued in 2023 will conclude in light of new council priorities.
In addition, the following items will be deferred or rephrased:
1. Tabletop emergency preparedness drill (Deferred to a date to be determined)
2. Miscellaneous Pathways (Rephrased so that staff will work with the Pathways Committee to reprioritize the order of pathways to be worked on throughout the year) At the study session, the Council supported a clear methodology for taking on additional projects during the year that are not part of the Work Plan. The new 2-step process was created to allow Committees, after a majority vote, to bring items directly to the Council for consideration. In collaboration with their Liaison, an initial report by the Committee will be agendized to ask the Council if a majority supports considering adding the item to the Work Plan; if so, staff will return with a report that outlines the implications (hours and/or dollars required, implications for existing projects – dropped, deferred, etc.).
Approximately six months from adoption, staff will present a mid-year progress report to Council going into detail on the current status of the projects in the attached Work Plan; Next January, Council will have an opportunity to review and fine tune the plan for calendar year 2025.
Mayor Mok made a motion to accept the draft work plan with modifications and bring it back to the February Regular Council Meeting on the Consent Calendar. Council Member Swan seconded the motion.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 15, 2024
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: ADOPT AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 1.10 (GREEN BUILDING
STANDARDS CODE) OF TITLE 8 (BUILDING REGULATIONS) OF THE LOS
ALTOS HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPT REGULATIONS THAT
REQUIRE NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND SUBSTANTIALLY
ALTERED EXISTING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH ZERO NOx EMISSION EQUIPMENT
FROM: Jay Bradford, Assistant Community Development Director APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
Waive Reading and Adopt an Ordinance 611 (Attachment 1) to Repeal and Replace Chapter 1.10 (Green Building Standards Code) of Title 8 (Building Regulations) of Los Altos Hills’ Municipal Code (LAHMC) and adopt by reference the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code and make local amendments that require new residential buildings and substantially altered existing residential buildings to be constructed with zero NOx emission equipment.
BACKGROUND
In early 2023, the Council included expanding the local building energy reach code requirements to encompass residential remodel projects in the FY23-24 work plan and directed staff to return with a proposed ordinance for consideration.
On September 14, 2023, a joint study session was held between the Planning Commission (PC) and the Town’s Environmental Initiatives Committee (EIC) to discuss initial energy reach code policy options. During the study session, both staff and the EIC presented potential existing building reach code options for consideration.
On October 26, 2023, the EIC held a study session to refine the draft ordinance based on feedback from the PC and the community.
On November 15, 2023, for discussion purposes, staff provided the PC/EIC with an overview of the local amendments that are being proposed by the Assistant Community Development Director/Building Official. The PC/EIC was generally supportive of the proposed amendments and offered minimal changes to the draft ordinance, recommending the ordinance be presented to the City Council.
On January 18, 2024, staff brought forward the first reading of the adoption for consideration by the City Council, which received a majority vote of five (AYES) to zero (NOES) and zero (ABSENT).
Item 14H Staff Report
DISCUSSION
Based on expressed findings of need supported by local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions allowed by Health and Safety Code 17958.7(a) and together with stakeholder, community, and Council feedback, Staff recommends repealing and replacing Chapter 1.10 (Green Building Standards Code) of Title 8 of Los Altos Hills Municipal Code and adopting regulations that require new residential buildings and substantially altered existing residential buildings to be constructed with zero NOx emission homes and equipment.
Staff and the EIC have participated in multiple events and public hearings meant to engage stakeholders, the community, and Council to elicit comments and direction regarding the proposed amendments to the 2022 California Building Standards Codes. That feedback was instrumental in crafting the scope of the amendments presented to Council on January 18, 2024, which received a majority vote of five to none. Throughout the process, a few options were considered, with this approach and regulations being the preferred option.
The proposed ordinance would take effect thirty (30) days after adoption and would apply to any project for which a development or permit application is filed with the Town as of the effective date of the ordinance.
FISCAL IMP ACT
Although there is no fiscal impact to the Town associated with adoption of the reach codes, the cost of construction could increase with the implementation of these CALGreen Amendments. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
The 2023 Reach Codes were a part of the 2023 and recently proposed 2024-25 City Council Work Plan. The key project falls under the Priority Area, Increase Effective Service Delivery & Governance. Additionally, the 2024-25 Work Plan incorporates staff capacity to work with the community and EIC on future reach code initiatives prior to the next code cycle in 2025.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed ordinance amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to "general exemptions" described in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines since the ordinance amendments would not have any significant effects on the environment.

AMENDING CHAPTER 1.10 (GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE) OF TITLE 8 (BUILDING REGULATIONS) OF THE LOS ALTOS HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE AND
ADOPT REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND
SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERED EXISTING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH ZERO NOx EMISSION EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, much of the Greater Bay Area, including the Town of Los Altos Hills, remains a nonattainment area that does not meet the federal air quality standards established to protect public health; and
WHEREAS, Nitrous Oxide and Nitrous Dioxide (collectively NOx) emissions from building appliances contribute significantly to the formation of ozone and other harmful air pollutants that are present at levels that violate federal standards; and
WHEREAS, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District approved rules on June 21, 2023 that outlaw the sale of NOx-emitting water heaters and furnaces in 2027 and 2029 respectively for installation into Bay Area buildings; and
WHEREAS, preparing the structures in the Town of Los Altos Hills for the upcoming implementation of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s rules will promote efficiency and cost savings that will benefit Town residents; and
WHEREAS, Section 39002 of the California Health and Safety Code authorizes local agencies to establish air pollution standards that are stricter than statewide or federal standards; and WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code section 17958 requires that cities adopt building regulations that are substantially the same as those adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and contained in the California Code of Regulations – Title 24; and; WHEREAS, the Town of Los Altos Hills adopted such regulations on November 17, 2022 with modifications as provided by California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5, 17958.7 and 18941.5 which specify that the City may make changes or modifications to the building standards contained in the California Building Standards based upon express findings that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills does hereby further ORDAIN as follows:
1. Title 8, Chapter 1.10 “Green Buildings Standards Code,” of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code is hereby repealed and replaced with the following Chapter 1.10.
Chapter 1.10 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
Item 14H Draft Ordinance
8-1.10.01 Adoption of 2022 California Green Building Standards Code. (a) The 2022 California Green Building Standards Code, Part 11, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, a portion of the California Building Standards Code, as defined in the California State Health and Safety Code Section 18901 et seq., (hereinafter referred to as “CALGreen”), and any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference herein.
(b) Appendix Chapter A4, Section A4.106.8, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging for New Construction, is adopted. (§ 1, Ord. 605, eff. December 17, 2022) (c) One copy of the CALGreen shall be kept on file at the Town of Los Altos Hills. (§ 1, Ord. 558, eff. February 15, 2015; § 1, Ord. 568, eff. March 16, 2017; § 1, Ord. 585, eff. (d) The requirements of this chapter may be adjusted or waived if the property owner demonstrates that applying this chapter would take property in violation of the United States and/or California Constitutions, or would violate applicable federal law. 8-1.10.02 Amended sections of adopted code.
The Green Building Standards Code is amended as follows:
(a) Chapter 2, Definitions, is amended by adding with the following definitions to read:
ADDITION. An extension or increase in floor area of an existing building or structure.
ALTERATION OR ALTER. Any construction or renovation to an existing structure other than repair for the purpose of maintenance or addition.
NITROGEN OXIDES (NOX). The sum of nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collectively expressed as nitrogen dioxide.
NOX EMITTING EQUIPMENT. Any equipment or appliance used for space heating, water heating, cooking, clothes drying and/or lighting that emits more than 0.0 nanograms of nitrogen oxides expressed as NOx per joule of heat and/or light output.
REPAIR. Reconstruction, replacement, or renewal of any part of an existing building for the purpose of its maintenance or to correct damage, as defined in the California Existing Building Code.
SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERED STRUCTURE. Any structure that is voluntarily altered such that more than fifty (50) percent of the structure’s permitted floor area is altered, or more than fifty (50) percent of the permitted exterior wall area is altered, or fifty (50) percent of the
structure’s combined wall and floor area is altered, or more than fifty (50) percent of existing structure’s permitted floor area is added.
TECHNICALLY INFEASIBLE. With respect to an alteration of a building or a facility, there is a low probability of successfully completing the alteration because existing building or site constraints prevent the modification or addition of elements, spaces, or features that would fully and strictly comply with the minimum requirements for new construction and are necessary for compliance. Examples include but are not limited to, utility conflicts, service capacity constraints, or construction limitations due to environmental conditions.
ZERO-NOX EMISSION BUILDING. A building with zero NOx emissions that utilizes zero NOx equipment or appliances.
ZERO-NOX EMITTING EQUIPMENT. Any equipment or appliance that emits no more than
0.0 nanograms of nitrogen oxides (expressed as NOx) per joule of heat and/or light output.
Equipment and appliance uses include, but are not limited to, space heating, water heating, cooking, clothes drying, and lighting.
(b) Chapter 4, Residential Mandatory Measures, is amended by amending the following sections to read:

1 TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 15, 2024
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN A.I. USE POLICY FOR THE TOWN FROM: Cody Einfalt, Assistant to the City Manager
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1) adopting an A.I. Use Policy for the Town.
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Altos Hills uses reliable, collaborative, and secure information technology solutions to support the efforts of staff in delivering high-quality services to the community.
As new, relevant local government technologies arise, the Town often assesses the value that each can deliver. In 2022, generative A.I. emerged as a powerful new tool in a wide range of contexts.
The Town quickly recognized that this technology could be useful in the public sector while also acknowledging that it could create unacceptable risks.
To help understand those risks, and provide clear guidance to staff on its uses, the Town engaged the services of Dr. Jonathan Reichental, former Chief Information Officer for the City of Palo Alto, to help put together an A.I. Use Policy.
DISCUSSION:
This policy provides rules and guidance for Town staff to support responsible use of generative A.I. tools. The Town is committed to encouraging the use of emerging technologies that promote progress and innovation, increase organizational performance and quality service delivery, and serve the public good.
Staff, with the help of the consultant, also engaged the help of the Technology Committee to review the proposed policy. The policy was taken to a Technology Committee meeting three times and ultimately approved by the committee on the dates below. • November 8, 2023 – introduction of the proposed policy, received comments; (Attachment 2)
• December 13, 2023 – second draft of policy, received additional comments; (Attachment 3)
• January 10, 2024 – Committee passed a motion to recommend adoption by City Council Attachment 4 is the proposed A.I. Use Policy for the Town of Los Altos Hills.
Item 14I Staff Report
Staff Report to City Council Page 2
A.I. Use Policy
February 15, 2024
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed plan for supplemental law enforcement services is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) due to the proposal not being defined as a “project” under CEQA.
2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
Adopting the proposed resolution to enact the attached A.I. Use Policy will help the Council complete an Effective Service Delivery and Governance project that has been identified in the 2024-25 City Council Work Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approving the A.I. Use Policy does not make any immediate additional financial commitment to the Town. Any future procurement of generative A.I. solution software will follow the Town’s standing procurement processes. However, according to the policy the Town will need to procure a generative A.I tool like ChatGPT if the staff were to use this technology for work.

DRAFT Generative Artificial Intelligence Acceptable Use Policy Approved by City Council xx/xx/2024
1. Executive Summary
The Town of Los Altos Hills uses reliable, collaborative, and secure information technology solutions to support the efforts of staff in delivering high-quality services to its community.
As new, relevant local government technologies arise, the Town often assesses the value that each can deliver. In 2022, generative AI – creating meaningful output such as text and images from human prompts -- emerged as a powerful new tool in a wide range of contexts. The Town quickly recognized that this technology could be extraordinarily useful in the public sector while also acknowledging that it could create unacceptable risks.
The Town of Los Altos Hills will partner and collaborate with other government agencies in the region and beyond to maximize the benefits of generative AI and to reduce its risks such as security, privacy, and content issues.
This policy provides rules and guidance for Town staff to support responsible use of generative AI tools. The Town is committed to encouraging the use of emerging technologies that promote progress and innovation, increase organizational performance and quality service delivery, and serve the public good.

Draft Generative AI Acceptable Use Policy
3. Definitions
What Description
User Staff, contractors, or others using Generative AI for Town work purposes.
Town The local government of The Town of Los Altos Hills, California.
Artificial
Intelligence (AI)
A system that performs certain tasks that simulate those of a human.
Generative AI A system that creates content such as text, audio, or images in response to human or computer inputs.
4. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to set forth requirements and guidance that Town users must adhere to when acquiring and using solutions that meet the definition of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
5. Scope
While AI is a broad and deep topic, this policy is currently concerned with solutions that use a specific type of AI called generative AI. Examples include ChatGPT and Google Bard, as well as products from Stability.ai, Jasper.ai, and similar. This policy also acknowledges that the boundaries of such solutions can be complex to define, and the nature of the technology is changing at a high rate. In the event of uncertainty in how any part of this policy applies, staff should first seek guidance from a supervisor.
6. Benefits and Risks of Using Generative AI in Local Government Benefits (not an exhaustive list):
a) Ability to analyze large amounts of information and then identify patterns, answer questions, make recommendations, and summarize findings. b) Reduce time spent on regular tasks including the creation of documents such as memos, emails, job descriptions, and reports, and assist with rapid knowledge acquisition. c) Improved decision-making by discovering and exploring scenarios, evaluating options, and analyzing relevant data.
d) Assist in the development of new content such as policies and procedures, website content, and social media posts, including rewording and improving grammar. e) Provide community-facing chatbots that provide 24-hour access to information and services.
f) Translates text into different languages.
Draft Generative AI Acceptable Use Policy
Risks (not an exhaustive list):
a) May create output that uses, for example, inappropriate, generic, and irrelevant language, bias, and tone. Translations too, may not be of an acceptable level of quality. b) Information produced may not be accurate, which includes dates, places, names, events, and more.
c) May reveal personally identifiable or sensitive information, disclose confidential information, or release draft information to the public. d) Reliance may reduce the important use of human empathy, personal contact, discretion, and judgement.
e) All input and output content may be subject to relevant public record laws. f) Content produced may be subject to copyright laws and use could result in legal challenges.
7. Acceptable Uses of Generative AI
The range of uses of generative AI are wide and new capabilities are being frequently introduced.
This list provides a small set of staff usage examples that can be used as guidance. a) Creating an outline for written content. The generative AI content is used as a starting point, but the final product is created by staff. Examples include:
• Letters
• Emails
• Project documentation
• Speaker notes
• Presentation slides
• Social media posts
• RFPs and similar
• Web content
• Reports
• Procedures
• Policies
• Job descriptions
• Press releases
b) Copying a document into a generative AI tool for the purposes of summarizing and/or querying it.
c) Suggesting writing improvements.
d) Learning about and exploring topics.
Draft Generative AI Acceptable Use Policy
e) Analyzing different types of data.
f) Idea generation.
g) Research.
8. Requirements for Using Generative AI
a) All generative AI tools used for work purposes require an account that is explicitly for Town use. Personal accounts are not permitted for work use. b) Assume that all use of generative AI tools and content are subject to relevant public records requests and must adhere to existing Town data retention requirements where appropriate.
c) Only provide input content that is okay for public disclosure. d) Staff are responsible for all outcomes of generative AI used for work purposes.
Specifically, the consequences of generative AI use are a human responsibility and issues cannot be deferred to the software and system. Staff assume all responsibility for content produced by generative AI.
e) Conduct a fact check on all content that is produced by generative AI. Staff must validate all output and ensure that it is factually correct. Staff are responsible for managing the risks of AI hallucinations, i.e., the creation by AI of inaccurate or nonsensical content.
f) Provide attribution whenever generated content is published including images. g) Log usage of generative AI for possible reference purposes later. h) Do not use generative AI to generate code or audio at this time.
9. Procurement of Generative AI Solutions
a) To procure generative AI solutions, staff must follow the existing policies and procedures for acquiring hardware and software for the Town.
b) Staff acknowledge that the procurement process may be slower than normal as a risk and impact assessment may be required.
c) The policy and procedures for acquiring generative AI solutions also applies to free-touse, freemium, open source, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and any other solution formats.
d) Approval to procure a generative AI solution is not required if the identical solution has already been formally approved.
Draft Generative AI Acceptable Use Policy
e) Use of any generative AI solution may be restricted or revoked at any time if, in the judgement of the Town, the risk of use results in non-compliance in part or full, with this policy or any other Town policy, or other relevant policy, rule, or law.
10. Enforcement
Enforcement may be imposed in coordination with individual division directors and department leaders. Non-compliance may result in department leaders imposing disciplinary action, restriction of access, or more severe penalties up to and including termination of employment or vendor contract.
11. Training
The Town will occasionally provide training in generative AI and specific tools. For specific requirements, staff should work with their supervisor to request training following their normal learning needs process.
Khan Academy provides high-quality, free online training. Access via khanacademy.org and search for “generative AI”
For developing prompt engineering skills—the ability to provide good input for great generative AI output—the following site provides free, high-quality training: learnprompting.org
12. Contact and Oversight Information
This policy will be maintained through the City Manager’s department, owned by the City Manager or designee. Their responsibilities include creating and maintaining the generative AI risk and impact criteria, making recommendations for policy updates, communicating updates on the Towns position on generative AI, and as a point of contact for escalating challenges and issues with the technology.
13. Document Control
This policy shall be effective on XX/XX/24 and shall be reviewed annually. A review and update may also be initiated in the event of substantive changes to generative AI and its associated solutions.

5. IT Vendor RFP Process Review (30 minutes, Cody Einfalt) a. Cody – My intent in formatting the subcommittee was that staff and the consultant would be working with the subcommittee and not have to involve the full committee. b. Rajiv – Do you want to set a date?
c. Cody – Will put together a doodle, will work specifically with the subcommittee on this one.
6. LAH Draft Generative AI Policy Review (30 minutes, Peter Pirnejad) a. Peter – The goal is to have a very high-level AI use policy. We used the San Jose as a model, but found it was too specific. We talked about hallucinations, falsifying facts and making sure that employees take personal responsibility for identifying facts, validating facts. We want to do it in a responsible way. This should be embedded into the IT policy.
I’m hoping to bring to the committees an AI generated minute taker or recap solution.
3 b. Rajiv – In section 8, the staff members are responsible for outcomes. I think that needs to be emphasized more that they take sole responsibility for the use of the AI. c. Lew – Chat GPT does log for the last 30 days. Will these be individual account or will it be a shared account?
d. Peter – We must investigate that; they do make enterprise solutions. e. Rajiv – Every time somebody uses AI, can we make it policy to log the prompt and the output of the AI and capture that as a saved document?
f. Peter – We want to make sure that it complies with our retention policy as well. g. Rajiv – This looks like it was put together by a consultant. h. Peter – Yes, I consulted with Jonathan again since he’s been doing this for a bit. i. George – Do we review this annually, after?
j. Peter – We review it on an as needed basis if the committee feel like it’s time.
7. Review 2024 Projects, discuss Next Steps and assign Owners (15 min, All) a. Speed display
i. Peter – the Council wants to do it, need to know where it’s needed from the Technology Committee. Make sure they get public comments. Then we install it. ii. Rajiv – Should investigate the cost of fixed vs. movable/trailer, the benefit of the new ones is the fact that they can record the speed and time. b. Gas shutoff – provided it’s an incentive.
i. Peter – You show a receipt, the town will figure out the amount rebate. Will work with committee on the number of rebates, capped at a certain amount. ii. Rajiv – They generally cost $100, and limit the rebate to the cost of the valve. c. Register private cameras with the sheriff.
i. Rajiv – This program already exists. We need to inform the public. This can be done via a newsletter or public forum.
d. Workshop for home and online security.
i. Peter – We do not have a date set for this for 2024. ii. See item 7.
e. Website Update
i. This will be part of a bigger item.
f. Rajiv – We will assign owners for these projects at the next meeting.
8. Staying Safe Online - Session Plans (10 min, Annie/Rajiv) a. Rajiv presented slides on content and topics for the home and online security workshop/forum. This includes choosing good passwords, how to detect a scam, and how to be safe online.

1 TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 15, 2024
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISED JOB
DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY SERVICES SERIES
POSITIONS OF RECREATION SPECIALIST, COMMUNITY SERVICES
COORDINATOR, COMMUNITY SERVICES SUPERVISOR, AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES MANAGER
FROM: Cody Einfalt, Assistant to the City Manager
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
Adopt the attached resolution (Attachment 1) approving revised position descriptions for the job classifications of Recreation Specialist, Community Services Coordinator, Community Services Supervisor, and Community Services Manager.
BACKGROUND:
Periodically, position descriptions need to be updated to ensure they reflect the duties of that particular job classification, which can evolve over time. In some cases, position descriptions need to be updated to reflect the actual work being done by an incumbent in the position, and in other cases, a vacancy, or pending vacancy, creates an opportunity to review and potentially revise a position description.
DISCUSSION:
There are four position descriptions recommended for revision at this time, all of which belong to the Community Services series of positions. This series includes the Recreation Specialist (Attachment 2), Community Services Coordinator (Attachment 3), Community Services Supervisor (Attachment 4), and Community Services Manager -- previously the Senior Community Services Supervisor (Attachment 5). In the fiscal year 2023-24 budget, there are two full-time positions budgeted in the Community Services Division, a Community Services Manager and a Recreation Specialist, with the former being vacant and the latter being filled on an interim basis at the Community Services Supervisor level.
Given the current status of personnel in the division, staff took the opportunity to review and update the entire series of classifications to provide flexibility as to how those positions are recruited and hired. Further, because of the flexibility in how the division ultimately ends up being staffed, the classifications all indicate that the position reports to the City Manager or his/her designee, which allows the City Manager to hire at the level(s) that best suit the Town’s needs at that time.
Item 14J Staff Report
Staff Report to City Council Page 2
Position Description Revisions
February 15, 2024
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Approving the revised position descriptions is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) due to this work not being defined as a “project” under CEQA. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN
Adopting the resolution to approve revised position descriptions for the Recreation Specialist, Community Services Coordinator, Community Services Supervisor, and Community Services Manager job classifications supports two aspects of the City Council Work Plan:
1. Improve employee attraction and retention; and
2. Review the Town staff classification structure and plan for growth.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approving the revised position descriptions does not make any additional financial commitment to the Town, as the salary range for each job classification is not changing.

1 TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 15, 2024
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN FOR 2024-25 FROM: Cody Einfalt, Assistant to the City Manager
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council should:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the City Council Work Plan for 2024-25 BACKGROUND:
On January 23, 2024 the City Council held a two-year Priority Setting Session, at which staff presented a proposed Work Plan for 2024-25. The Work Plan included 63 projects identified by Council, Committees and staff. After dialogue and public comments at the session, the Council was given the opportunity to add and delete items from the Work Plan; by a process of “dot” voting, the City Council elected to add two items to the Work Plan:
1. Review appropriate design and alignment for Pathway on Page Mill/Via Feliz with the Pathways Committee as well as Old Page Mill to Christopher Lane once an easement is obtained
2. Engage with a consultant to prepare an Emergency Communication Notification Study in consultation with EPRC and the Council
To accommodate these projects in 2024-25, Council agreed to remove and/or modify the following items from the Work Plan:
1. Water Conservation (Removed)
2. Expand FireWise Program (Removed and Ask Fire District to take the lead)
3. Fremont/Redwood Grove Path (Report back after attorney discussions to determine next steps with respect to the established 2-step process)
4. Lobbying efforts that were being pursued in 2023 will conclude in light of new council priorities.
In addition, the following items will be deferred or rephrased:
1. Tabletop emergency preparedness drill (Deferred to a date to be determined)
2. Miscellaneous Pathways (Rephrased so that staff will work with the Pathways Committee to reprioritize the order of pathways to be worked on throughout the year) At the study session, the Council supported a clear methodology for taking on additional projects during the year that are not part of the Work Plan. The new 2-step process was created to allow Committees, after a majority vote, to bring items directly to the Council for consideration. In Item 14K Staff Report
Staff Report to City Council Page 2
2024-25 Work Plan Adoption
February 15, 2024
collaboration with their Liaison, an initial report by the Committee will be agendized to ask the Council if a majority supports considering adding the item to the Work Plan; if so, staff will return with a report that outlines the implications (hours and/or dollars required, implications for existing projects – dropped, deferred, etc.).
The final approved Work Plan is attached, as is a summary of the session prepared by the consultant from RPMG. Staff informed Council that additional resources would be needed in the upcoming two year budget cycle to be able to move forward with some of the projects in the plan and that barring any unforeseen events such as loss of staffing, natural disasters or a change in council direction, the staff intends to make every effort to accomplish the goals on the Work Plan.
Approximately six months from adoption, staff will present a mid-year progress report to Council going into detail on the current status of the projects in the attached Work Plan; Next January, Council will have an opportunity to review and fine tune the plan for calendar year 2025. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN
Adopting the 2024-25 workplan will help staff prioritize their bandwidth for the next two years and set the direction for projects across Town.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Adopting the 2024-25 Work Plan is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) due to this work not being defined as a “project” under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adopting the 2024-25 City Council Work Plan does not have any direct financial impacts. Projects identified in the plan that require new or additional funding will come before the Council with the 2-year budget approval or throughout the year for approval and budget appropriation.

The 2024-25 Priority Setting Session was held on January 23 in the Council Chamber, with Mayor Mok presiding over the public meeting.
City Manager Peter Pirnejad and members of the executive team were present at the meeting, which was facilitated by Dan Rich from the Renne Public Management Group (RPMG). Ultimately, a Work Plan with 61 projects, including a number of projects being redefined, deferred, or removed, was endorsed by the City Council and is attached as Exhibit A to this report. A summary of the session follows.
Background
Planning for the session began long before the actual meeting on January 23. Given the multi-year nature of many of the projects, and the impact of this process on staff, it was decided to develop a two-year Work Plan for the first time. The effort started in early September with the help of Frank Benest, ICMA Executive Leader, who worked with staff to build and facilitate a process to collect and consider all the priorities from the various stakeholders. This effort was followed by the City Manager meeting with all of the City’s standing committees to discuss the process and ask them to develop a list of desired priority projects for 2024-25. Concurrently, Dan Rich held one-on-one meetings with each member of the Council to discuss their priorities for the two-year cycle. Staff then went through an organized process to determine the proposed priorities, including two half-day work sessions. In doing so, they considered mandates and carryover items from 2023, as well as new items identified by Council, Committees, and staff. Using all that input, staff developed the proposed 2024-25 Work Plan.
2 On January 11, the City Council held a special meeting to hear from the Planning Commission and standing committees on their 2023 accomplishments and proposed 2024-25 priorities. Then, at the January 23
rd session, staff presented a recommended two-year Work Plan with 63 projects, categorized in the following four Value Areas (similar to those in 2022 and 2023):
· Maintain Quality of Life and Community Character
· Promote Public Safety
· Increase Effective Service Delivery and Governance
· Protect and Maintain Infrastructure
The recommended work plan incorporated 17 of the items proposed by standing committees – and 25 others can be worked on by the committees without staff time or funding from the Town; an additional 3 are “just do it” items and will be done but not shown on the Work Plan. The presentation also included 8 “Parking Lot” items – projects suggested by Council that were desired but there were not sufficient resources to undertake, as well as the 12 items from committees that could not be taken on.
Agenda
The agenda for the priority setting session was as follows:
· Introductory Comments
· Agenda Overview
· Recommended 2024-25 Work Plan
· Council Questions and Initial Discussion
· PUBLIC COMMENTS
· Identify Possible Changes to the Work Plan
· LUNCH
· Discussion of Items NOT on the Work Plan
· PUBLIC COMMENTS
· Discuss and Vote on Changes to the 2024-25
Work Plan
· Staff Huddle
· Recap and Next Steps
3 Ground Rules
After introductory comments by the City Manager, Dan Rich from RPMG reviewed the agenda and reintroduced the following suggested ground rules which were similar to those used in 2023:
· All voices matter
· Actively listen with intention and respect
· Be constructive when providing feedback or asking questions · Recognize common interests and seek consensus
· Focus on high-level goals, not the day-to-day operations · Enjoy the day
Guiding Principles
In 2023, staff created and presented “foundational principles” to the Council; they were designed to acknowledge the importance of prioritizing specific work efforts, ensure clarity of roles, and to focus staff work on the Council’s priorities. The Council supported these again for 2023. For the current cycle, they were modified and shortened slightly, without changing the intent, and called Guiding Principles. Council adopted the following:
· Day-to-day operations take up 85-95% of organizational capacity · If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority; only extraordinary or critical items should be added to the list mid-cycle. If new items are added, changes to the adopted plan are likely to be necessary.
· Upcoming budget allocations need to be aligned with the Council’s Priority Policies and the related key projects
· The Council’s role is to provide strategic direction and policy guidance, approving budget and staffing resources
· Management’s role is to implement the Council’s adopted Work Plan while recommending resources needed, identifying reasonable timelines, achieving key milestones, noting constraints and recommending adjustment along the way
Following endorsement of the Principles, a new “Two-Step” process for Committees to add items mid-cycle was outlined and discussed (the same process applies to Councilmembers), where first Council would give a simple yes/no to considering the item, and if yes, then staff would return (step 2) with a report explaining the implications (drop, defer other items, cost, etc.). After some dialogue and clarification, Council supported this idea.
Dan Rich then briefly discussed some of the trends appearing across the local government landscape, such as recruitment and retention issues, aging infrastructure and climate change adaptation. The purpose of this overview was to provide a high-level awareness of the Town’s workload within the greater landscape of new and ongoing issues impacting all local government in California.
4 The following nine items were identified and
discussed by Council after lunch, with another
opportunity for public input before the Council voted
on them:
· Historic Landmark Designations
· Pathway on Page Mill /Via Feliz
· Christopher Lane Pathway
· Expand Emergency Communication
Notification Study
· Green Sheets Study Session
· Lobbying Efforts
· Continue Broadband Efforts
· Establish Charitable Fund
· ‘Our Town’ – Increase to Four Issues
Review of the 2024-25 Work Plan
The City Manager provided a recap of the 2023 Council priorities and achievements (60 milestones completed) and then went through a detailed presentation of the proposed 2024-25 Work Plan and how it was developed, walking through the recommended projects in each of the four Value Areas, the parking lot items (those that can’t be taken on at this time), and the committee requested projects.
The City Manager noted that the proposed Work Plan included 63 projects, many of which are mandated or carryover items; 29 are new for the upcoming cycle. 17 of the projects in the plan came from the committees and another 28 will be worked on, so 79% of what they prioritized will be acted on in the coming two years.
Council Dialogue and Public Comments
After initial questions and a general discussion of the proposed Work Plan, public comments were solicited. The consultant then facilitated a multi-step process for the Council to consider possible deletions or additions to the work plan, including a review of the “parking lot” and committee items not proposed to be worked on. First, Council provided direction to delete the water conservation item and take a light approach to enforcing the leaf blower ordinance to emphasize education and corrective action. On the Fremont/Redwood Grove path item, Council suggested waiting for the attorneys to talk and see if agreement can be reached before taking further action. Council then discussed items they were interested in considering for addition to the Work Plan prior to a lunch break.
5 Changes made to the 2024-25 Work Plan
After Council discussion of the nine items noted on the previous page, members voted with a colored “dot” system, with one dot having a #1 to indicate that member’s top priority. The voting led to two items receiving majority support for addition to the Work Plan.
The meeting was then recessed briefly so staff could confer on what tradeoffs would need to be made in order to incorporate the items Council wished to add. After staff discussion, the following changes were recommended:
Items Removed
1. Fremont / Redwood Grove Path – Report back after attorney discussions
2. Water Conservation
3. Expand Firewise Program – Ask Fire District to take the lead Items Added
1. Pathways - Review appropriate design and alignment for Pathway on Page Mill/Via Feliz with the Pathways Committee as well as Old Page Mill to Christopher Lane once an easement is obtained
2. Emergency Communication Notification Study – Engage a consultant to prepare a study in consultation with EPRC and Council
Deferrals
1. “Improve Pathway System – Key Projects” – staff will work with the Pathways Committee to reprioritize the order of pathways to be worked on throughout the year
2. Tabletop Emergency Preparedness Drill
Exhibit A is the updated 2024-25 Work Plan with these changes incorporated.
6 Staff will begin working on the projects in the Work Plan and will seek budgetary funding for specific items as necessary during the 2024-26 Budget Process. Staff will also update the City Council on the status of each project within the plan at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting in approximately 6 months. As noted earlier, there is a “two-step” process for new items to be added during the year.
And next January, a review and fine tuning of the two-year Work Plan will be undertaken by the Council.
The Council priority setting session concluded at approximately 2:45 after a recap and discussion of next steps by the City Manager.

Subject: A Partnering Opportunity with Foothill College Hello Council Members,
You have a unique opportunity to: 1). Improve Internet services to Town Hall AND 2). Develop a strategic partnership with Foothill College.
For the past 6+ years, the town has been exploring how we can improve Internet services to residents. There has been positive progress by LAHCF and our legacy providers to help achieve that goal. During the past two years we have spent considerable time and money to develop a broadband strategy for Los Altos Hills.
The proposal;
1). Following the recommendations from our broadband consultant, revise the work plan, item 14.K on the consent calendar, to include the development of an RFP to build two broadband fiber segments to link town hall and Foothill College to our community fiber network. Utilize ARPA funds to help underwrite the costs of these segments. The Technology Committee can help create that RFP thereby minimizing the staff time needed.
2). Develop a partnership agreement with Foothill College to help underwrite the costs to build out the fiber link to the college.
3). Reward the contract to a vendor/entity that can start work on these fiber segments prior to December 31, 2024 with completion no later than June 1, 2026.
Best Regards,
John Swan

Dear City Council,
I am wriƟng to indicate my support for city council to approve spending the $1.8MM in ARPA funds to extend the Los Altos Community Fiber. I live at in LAH and have found that during storms the Internet oŌen goes out because Xfinity cable runs on poles (that get disrupted in windy storms). The fiber will not only provide much faster service but also much more reliable service. In the world of remote work this is crucial. In fact, to ensure connecƟvity I have had to pay for an addiƟonal Starlink connecƟon just to have a back up. A fiber connecƟon is a much beƩer opƟon.
Since one of the connecƟons recommended by your consultants was to connect to the emergency services bunker near Foothill College this would put the fiber line close enough to my house that hopefully it will get extended the 1/2 mile to my home at some point in the future.
Thanks for the consideraƟon,

Subject: Non-agenda comments regarding BROADBAND
Dear Council Members,
We believe the town has an opportunity to act in its own best interest, the best interest of its citizens and the best interests of an important neighbor in Foothill college by following the recommendations of the GTG consultant that was hired last year.
The consultant's report gave clear direction and priority to two underground fiber projects that could utilize ARPA funds (which must be spent by end of 2024). The result would be connecting the town hall to the existing LAHCF fiber backbone, allowing the town to leverage the many miles of underground fiber that LAHCF has already laid for the town. In addition, it would connect the emergency bunker near foothill college, hardening our disaster preparedness.
I believe now is the time to move rapidly as Foothill-De Anza college has committed and budgeted a six figure sum to help the town defray some costs and extend this fiber backbone to their campus thereby providing redundancy for FHDA. It provides the town an excellent strategic partnership with the recently named Best Community College in America!
Thank you for your consideration and diligence. We know there are many competing interests and needs, and we believe this to be among the highest priority items.
Sincerely,
Gautam Agrawal

ARPA Funds for LAHCF
. Learn why this is important
I have been a subscriber to LAHCF for about a year and have been very pleased with both the performance and reliability of their offering. My experience with the large commercial providers has not been terrific with both reliability and performance issues. I don't think there is a viable 1Gig fiber offering even available from any other vendor for the Hills at this time.
As we are now transitioning to a completely new and bandwidth voracious era with applications including Al, VR, and AR(augmented realty) coming online even in the last year, the need for increasing performance of LAHCF to 10Gigs while maintaining reliability will become more pressing. My personal experiments with Al applications would not have been possible without the bandwidth provided by LAHCF.
Please reconsider your financial support using the ARPA funds for this community fiber project in light of my comments.
Sincerely,
Willam Carrico

Hello Council Members,
I have already sent a letter in on this agenda item for tonight to use some of our ARPA funds to improve the Town's broadband, but I received important comments from others that I want to share with you;
1) This is also a "public safety" issue. Connecting the command and control centers of the Town into a high-reliability network is an important goal of this effort. This will improve our overall emergency response which benefits everyone in town.
This link will allow Town Hall, Purissima Hills Water District and CERT's Foothill ARK to have a fire-hardened Internet connection.
Once Foothill College becomes part of this network, we will then have a fire-hardened, redundant Internet connection that will include the Foothill De Anza Police and the El Monte Fire Station.
2) Underground fiber is far less subject to environmental threats than wires on poles are. We cannot develop a fail-safe solution but if we have redundant, fault tolerant, firehardened Internet service, we all become more protected in times of emergency.

John Swan

AT&T's Pending Regulatory Application to Abandon Landlines February 15, 2024
Dear Los Altos Hills City Council Members,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter that affects our community, particularly residents who rely on landlines due to limited or unreliable cell coverage and internet access in the hills.
AT&T has issued a notice of pending regulatory application to abandon landlines, which could have serious implications for our community. I have attached a copy of my letter to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), outlining specific reasons why it is critical to maintain our landlines.
Furthermore, it has come to my attention that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) may also be in jeopardy in the future, as indicated in the attached AT&T letter I received. This further underscores the importance of taking action to protect our communication infrastructure.
Please spread the word and ask your network of friends and associates to submit a public comment to the CPUC regarding this matter at

Proceeding Docket: A.23-03-003
Subject: Preserving Wired Landline/Legacy Copper Service Item 14K, Supplement 32
2 Dear Members of the California Public Utilities Commission, I am writing on behalf of our organization, California For Safe Technology, to express my strong support for the preservation of wired landline/legacy copper service as an essential and reliable method of communication. I understand the Commission's responsibility to consider the evolving landscape of telecommunications, but it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value that landline phones provide, both personally and for all Calfornians.
Landline phones have proven to be more reliable than cell phones in various situations. I have personally experienced instances of lost cell coverage during weather events and emergencies, relying on my landline for crucial communication and emergency services. It is imperative to consider the health implications of widespread cell phone usage, particularly the growing concerns related to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure.
California For Safe Technology receives an increasing number of calls from individuals facing serious health issues due to wireless radiofrequency exposure. For these individuals, continued access to their landlines is not just a convenience but a necessity. Wired connections play a vital role in minimizing health-related risks associated with cell phones and wireless technologies.
I would like to highlight several key advantages of landline phones that contribute to their importance:
1. Emergency Functionality: Landlines are more reliable during emergencies, providing clear address information to emergency operators. In contrast, cell phones may only display latitude and longitude, making it harder to locate individuals in need. Especially if someone lives in a high rise apartment.
2. Power Outages: Landline phones continue to operate during power outages, ensuring communication even in extended outage scenarios. This is a critical feature that cell phones cannot guarantee.
3. Ease of Use for Specific Populations: Teaching small children to dial 911 on a landline phone is often considered easier, and elderly individuals are more familiar with landline technology, making it simpler for them to use in emergencies.
4.. Home Security: Landline connections offer a more stable option for home security systems, crucial for monitoring fire and burglar alarm sensors.
5. Sound Quality: Landline phones generally provide better voice quality, which is important for individuals with hearing impairments or those who spend a significant amount of time on the phone.
6. Accurate 911 Service: Placing a 911 call from a landline is reliable and accurate, ensuring that emergency services receive precise location information.
While technological advancements continue, it is essential to recognize that landline phones are a consistent and familiar technology, especially for elderly individuals and slow tech adopters. The accuracy and reliability of 911 services provided by landlines further emphasize their importance in emergency situations.
3 I urge the California Public Utilities Commission to consider these points and prioritize the preservation of wired landline/legacy copper service for the benefit of all Californians.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Mathews

Item 14.K. RESOLUTION APPROVING CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN FOR 2024-25 The workplan represents the roughly 60 priorities and principal activities beyond basic services that the Town staff will be progressing over the next two years. Unlike the prior one-year work plan, no estimated completions dates are provided. Without dates it is not possible to evaluate schedules and progress. Quarterly completion dates should be added.
A number of the task descriptions are too general, without measurable criteria or clearly defined goals. Tasks should have clear objectives and milestones.
It is unclear what the dollar amount in column one represents. Is this the estimated out-of-pocket expense? As stated previously, the budget and goal setting process are out-of-sync. Priorities are prepared on a calendar year basis and budgets on a fiscal year basis, so that authorized funding may not coincide with scheduling.
The staff report states, “Staff informed Council that additional resources would be needed in the upcoming twoyear budget cycle to be able to move forward with some of the projects in the plan.” This workplan approval process eliminated tasks so that the approved workplan could be accomplished with available staff resources. What additional resources are being referred to? Staff, consultants, or funds.
Hope you find this helpful.

Subject: LAH Council Meeting — Prioritize BROADBAND
Hello,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the potential decision to reallocate funds from the Los Altos Hills Community Fiber (LAHCF) project to other initiatives within our community. As a new resident of , LAH, I have become acutely aware of the critical role that reliable internet access plays in our daily lives, particularly in light of recent events.
During the severe storm that struck our area last month, my household experienced a two-day disruption in cable service despite retaining power. Given that my husband and I both work remotely, uninterrupted internet access is essential to our livelihoods. The situation forced us to relocate our work operations to a nearby café, a less than ideal solution that impacted our productivity and added unnecessary stress during an already challenging time.
Moreover, with the increasingly frequent and severe weather events attributed to climate change, it is imperative that our city takes proactive measures to ensure that essential utilities, including internet connectivity, remain resilient in the face of such challenges. Investing in the undergrounding of fiber lines is not merely a matter of convenience but rather a fundamental necessity for the well-being and safety of all residents.
We installed Tesla Powerwalls in our new construction, which rely on internet connectivity for remote control and management. Without a stable internet connection, we would be unable to access these emergency resources, potentially compromising our ability to respond effectively to unforeseen emergencies. I urge you to consider the broader implications of diverting funds away from the LAHCF project and instead prioritize the critical infrastructure needs of our community.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I sincerely hope that you will stand with the residents of Los Altos Hills in safeguarding our essential utilities for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Elaine and Rudy Wen

Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
UPDATE THE STANDING PURCHASE ORDERS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2023-24 IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $6,559,432
FROM: Cody Einfalt, Assistant to the City Manager
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute purchase orders for routine supplies and services for the fiscal year 2023-24 in an amount not to exceed $6,559,432.
BACKGROUND:
This resolution does not include capital project related services which the City Council considers on a case-by-case basis. In addition, this resolution does include previous noncapital project contracts and agreements that the Council individually considers through separate resolutions and authorizations.
DISCUSSION:
Town operations require supplies and specialized services to conduct business and provide certain specialized services. The attached resolution provides the City Manager with authorization to execute purchase orders with vendors where expenses are anticipated to exceed $60,000.
This update to the Standing Purchase Order list has the inclusion of Tripepi Smith, which is a communication consultant helping Town staff assemble and distribute the Town Quarterly and the Town Activity Guide, as well as other communication efforts throughout the year. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
Including Tripepi Smith on the Town’s Standing Purchase Order list will enable staff to continue strong communication with the public through newsletters and the activity guide.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Standing Purchase Order list is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS February 15, 2024
Staff Report to the City Council
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING AN OPEN SPACE EASEMENT AT 13021 N ALTA LANE; LANDS OF LIAONING BENEFIT INVESTMENT, LLC;
FILE #SD23-0024
FROM: Bradley Evanson, Community Development Director
APPROVED: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) accepting the grant of an open space easement at 13021 N Alta Lane; Lands of Liaoning Benefit Investment, LLC.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is a 2.17-acre lot with an average slope of 22.86%. Access to the site is provided by a private road, Alta Lane North, which connects to Alta Tierra Road, a public street.
The property is moderately sloped north resulting in a LUF of 1.57 and a maximum development area (MDA) of 16,040 square feet and maximum floor area (MFA) of 8,443 square feet. An application for site development permit for a new residence, accessory dwelling unit, and swimming pool was submitted to the Town on June 9, 2023, and approved at Fast Track by the Community Development Director on August 15, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
The dedication of an open space easement was required as a condition of approval for the new residence and associated improvements that was approved by the Community Development Director on August 15, 2023 (File #SD23-0024). The dedication is pursuant to General Plan Land Use Element Program 2.1 (Attachment 3) which states, “Continue to require the dedication of open space easements where appropriate as a condition of approval for new development”. The easement area, which is 32,902 square feet or 0.755 acres in size, includes portions of the property generally in excess of 30% slope and containing heritage oak trees.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The open space easement dedication qualifies for the commonsense exemption outlined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), as it can be found with certainty that the activity in question is not a project and, therefore, not subject to the provisions of CEQA. 2024-25 CITY COUNCIL WORK PLAN:
This is not part of the 2024-25 City Council Work Plan as easement dedications are, depending on applicability, part of the standard site development approval process.
Item 14M Staff Report
City Council Page 2
13021 N Alta Lane
February 15, 2024
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the Town for review of easement dedications, agreements, or grant documents as the Town requires payment of a deposit of $3,500.00 to cover staff and consultant time. The deposit is generally not exceeded, and the remaining amount refunded, conversely, if the deposit is ever exceeded, additional funds would be requested to cover staff and consultant time. The recordation of the open space easement agreement with the County of Santa Clara requires payment of a recordation fee of $5.00.
CONCLUSION:
The open space easement dedication is consistent with the goals of the Town’s General Plan Land Use and Conservation Elements. The requirement for an open space easement over those portions of property with steep slopes in excess of 30% slope is consistent with prior site development permit approvals. Staff recommends that the Council accept the open space easement agreement granting an open space easement to the Town at 13021 N Alta lane.

GOAL 2
Ensure that all development occurs in a manner that
minimizes disturbance of natural terrain, vegetation and wildlife, and maximizes the preservation of natural resources and open space.
Policy 2.1 Within incorporated Los Altos Hills and its sphere of influence dwelling types shall be limited to single-family detached residences, which may include a single secondary unit.
Policy 2.2 Residential densities shall be guided by considerations of topography, vegetative cover and significant physical limitations inherent in the natural environment.
Policy 2.3 The minimum parcel size shall be at least one acre and shall increase as the steepness of the land increases.
Policy 2.4 In subdividing land, the number of dwelling units permitted shall decrease as the steepness of the land increases.
Policy 2.5 Steep slopes, canyons and ravines generally in excess of 30% slope, as well as natural swales and drainage channels, and geologic hazard areas within areas designated for residential development shall be left undisturbed and preserved in their natural condition to the maximum extent feasible.
Policy 2.6 Limits on the development of individual residential lots shall be determined based on evaluation of such factors as natural vegetation, topographic characteristics, soils and geology.
Policy 2.7 The natural character of ridgelines shall be preserved to the maximum extent feasible.
Policy 2.8 Promote the use of green building methods and practices in the planning, design, construction, renovation, operations, and demolition of buildings.
Policy 2.9 The Town shall encourage the installation of drought-tolerant landscaping and other methods of reducing water use for landscaping.
Program 2.1 Continue to require the dedication of open space easements where appropriate as a condition of approval for new development. Each parcel shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis during the site development review process to determine whether an open space easement should be required, based on the extent of steep slopes generally in excess of 30% slope and the presence of heritage oak trees and/or creek corridors.
Other considerations shall include the size of the proposed open space easement, its contiguity with existing open space easements, and whether the property is located within an Open Space Conservation Area.

TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 15, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Peter Pirnejad, City Manager
RE: Receive and Accept Memo on Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Mid-Year Budget Recap
As we move into February, I wanted to provide you with an update on the budget development process for the upcoming fiscal year. Typically, the process for developing the following year’s budget is initiated with a mid-year update of the current year’s budget. This update is generally intended to provide information on how actual revenues and expenditures are tracking against the budgeted amounts, as well as to make a request for additional appropriations for unplanned needs.
As I have discussed with you all, I am not planning to put a specific mid-year budget update on an upcoming agenda, and the purpose of this memo is to explain my rationale.
There are three main reasons I am taking this action:
1. I have reviewed budget-to-actual expenditures for department operations with the Finance Manager, and based on that review, the Town is tracking to stay within budgeted expenditures at the fund level, meaning staff will not be requesting any supplemental budget appropriations as we have typically done in prior years. Given the review that I have done, as well as the recent appropriation of $150,000 that Council made to address staffing shortfalls, there is nothing significant to report with respect to revenues or expenditures.
2. With the staffing shortfalls, specifically the fact that we are without an Administrative Services Director, the focus for the finance team is keeping operations running and preparing for the development of the next operating and capital budgets. Allocating our limited resources to a mid-year update where there is limited information to report would be extremely burdensome for staff, and I feel their time could be better spent on other work.
3. We are transitioning to a two-year operating budget for the upcoming budget cycle, which we plan to present to the FIC and Council in May. As a part of that presentation, we will be presenting an update on the status of the 2023-24 budget. While this update will be later than the typical mid-year budget update, it will serve the same purpose. Additionally, should there be any material change in the Town’s financial situation, or if there is a need for an appropriation between now and the presentation of the budget, staff will bring forward a report and resolution for Council’s consideration at a regularly-scheduled meeting.
Item 14O Staff Report
Staff took a high-level overview of the budget to the FIC on February 5th and explained our rationale for not putting a more formal update on the Council meeting agenda. FIC gave feedback that the information about the City’s position at mid-year was adequate and would look for the staff to share reconciliation in May.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this,and thank you for your support.
