BOARD PRIORITIES

A. Neighborhood traffic study:

The November 18 community meeting was attended by at least 58 people and went
smoothly. The CTTC advisory group will be meeting next Monday to hear the consultants
proposals. This will most likely be the first of a series of meetings. The board noted

that when possible calming options are available it will be important to disseminate

them widely in the neighborhood. Possible approaches include online links to the

consultants' reports (or summaries of same,) posters in the CT library and small

groups meeting in neighborhood homes.

B. Parking on College Terrace streets:

Alexandra will review a recent revision of cost estimates prepared by the city for
several possible solutions. If they are satisfactory, the next step will be to present

options to the neighborhood at focus groups meetings. Prior to the January board

meeting, Alexandra will provide the board with a brief summary update on this

topic.

OFFICERS' REPORTS

A. President:

Kathy will distribute by e-mail an updated Issues and Opportunities paper and the board

will vote on its adoption by e-mail before the January meeting. Kathy will try to
arrange some one-on-one post-election coffees with the recently elected Palo Alto

City Council members. Paula, Alexandra, Grace, Laura and Paul are willing to attend,

schedules permitting.

Kathy reminded board members that the bylaws require that the board appoint a
nominating committee 90 days before the annual meeting. Paula moved that the board
appoint Maritza Frankfurt as the chair of the nominating committee and authorize her to
approach Sarah Hainstock, Virginia Ferguson, Kay Culpepper, Otmar, and any other
College Terrace residents interested in participating on the committee. Holly seconded
the motion and it passed on a voice vote.

B. Vice-President:

Paula reported that Margaret Miller will no longer be coordinating work on emergency
preparedness. She will send her database to Paula soon. The board will address the

issue of community emergency preparedness at the January meeting. Also, Paula has had

help from her brother-in-law in organizing and updating the CTRA member database.

C. Government/University Observer:

Paul brought us up to date on the Mayfield site. Thursday morning he will attend a pre-

liminary meeting of the ARB at which the designers will present the design for soccer

fields, parking and landscaping. He also noted that Pillsbury, Winthrop will move into

2475 Hanover in mid-December and related to that, a new shuttle line will be running
during morning and evening rush hours. This Marguarite has already begun operating in
a loop from the Cal Train station, up California Ave., to Hanover, to Page Mill Rd, ECR
and back to Cal Train. When the kinks have been worked out of the schedule, it will be
printed and publicized.

NEXT MEETING:

The next meeting will be Tuesday, January 13 (NOT the first Tuesday) from 7:15 to
9:00 pm. at Holly's home.

Respectfully submitted by Holly Welstein, Secretary, CTRA.
