To all,
The Atherton City Council is scheduled to meet again this evening for its regular monthly council meeting. On the agenda this evening are several matters of importance to residents:
1) Approval of new garbage rates,
2) Consideration of the Park & Recreation Committee's recommendation to conduct a formal Town-Wide survey of Resident Opinions concerning the location of the new library in Holbrook-Palmer Park,
3) Approval of more town tax funds to be used by the Library Steering Committee to do an Environmental Impact Report for putting the library in the park, and
4) Reinstating the ability of the Town Manager to book events at Holbrook-Palmer Park (which were previously discontinued for 2012 events in light of what was seen as pending library construction in the park).
The November 8th Special Council Meeting requested by a petition with over 300 supporters to authorize a Master Plan prior to the expenditure of more tax funds by the library group, did not result in any action because the agenda did not provide for the council to take any action at that meeting. Tonight, Council members Carlson and Lewis are scheduled to present reports on a Master Facilities Plan and on Polling Town Voters in order to help the council determine future council agenda items (which require majority approval).
If you are interested in or concerned about how the council decides any of these issues, it would be good to attend this meeting, which is being held tonight starting at 7:00 pm in the Pavilion at Holbrook-Palmer Park. Discussion of Item 1 listed above (but Item 17 on the council agenda) is estimated to start at 8:00 pm.
