Ms. Fry, I apologize for this problem. I am still at work and I will see if
there is a way that I can access the report and find out what is wrong. I
am available tomorrow as well. One way that I can handle this is to send
you the pdf of all the attachments. Again, I apologize for the
inconvenience.

Subject: Fiscal Year 2007-8 Capital and Study Priorities

Dear Council,

I want to alert you to how very difficult it is for the public to make
meaningful comments regarding the above topic on your agenda for March 6th.
The city website has posted only the first 4 pages of the staff report and
NONE of the referenced Attachments. Worse, the city offices are closed
tomorrow so the public cannot take advantage of the weekend to review the
materials and provide comments.

Since I will be unable to attend next Tuesday's meeting I want to express my
hope that the Council will make the topic of Medical/Dental office use study
a current year priority (i.e., fiscal year 2006-2007). There is increasing
demand for medical offices that could push out potential revenue-producing
uses along El Camino at a minimum. The city needs to establish guidelines as
soon as possible to aid decision makers (Planning Commission) and property
owners, while a specific plan is developed. This work would complement the
larger planning effort of the El Camino corridor.

If there is concern that staff time is too limited, please consider putting
as a lower priority those projects that are not within the current Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan. After plans are in place, it will be much easier
and more smooth for projects to proceed within the context of that plan.
Please take charge of our city's destiny.

Thanks for your consideration,

Patti Fry
