AD/OURNMENT IN MEMORY OF., BIRGE_QW
Council Member Woolley said Birge Clark parsed away on April 30,
1989. He was born on April 16, 1893, which wade him, to the day,
one year older than the City of Palo Alto. He gave Palo Alto some
of its favorite buildings, many of which were in a style liked very
much by the City and which were currently being simulated by the
developers of the newest buildings in the downtown. Three of his
buildings were on the National Register of Historic Places. His
written records provided commentary about all his commercial and
buildings; problems in the developing of the design; or interesting
notes, on the clients. He also had a "monograph* about College
Terrace which detailed the grocer who went to every housewife twice
a day, once in the morning to get the order, and then again in the
afternoon to deliver the crder. It was before there were tele-
phones, and the grocer served as a kind of courier. Birge Clark
would be greatly missed.

STUDY SESSION - REPORT FROM CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES
TO THE CITYJS'HQQk 111 SOJ COMMITTEE
Council was given an overview and status report of the work of the
City/School Liaison Committee by Chair Council Member Cobb.
Council Member Cobb thanked staff for their hard word and empha-
sized that the report to be gf.ven was a status report and would
indicate the agreement that the City/School Liaison Committee had
reached and had yet to be approved by the Palo Alto Unified School
District (PAUSD) Board and the Palo Alto City Council.
Council Member Sutorius reviewed the alternatives considered by the
Committee, which were defined in the report, dated April 27, 1989,
from the Council Members on the City/School Liaison Committee.
Council Member Cobb indicated the School Board would vote on school
configurations on Tuesday evening, May 2. at its regular meeting.
If the Board agreed to one of the proposed alternatives, City staff
and PAUSD staff would then proceed to amend the existing agreement.
Staff would probably return to Council in Septem er with a proposed
revision to the agreement.
