Councilzna.n Byxbee formally resigned from the Board
of Hospital Directors in favor of Councilman Rohrs, new member,
of the Council who is a member of the Hospital Board for the term
expiring lane 30, 19`64:
Mr. Byxbee recommended that consideration be given
t(' having two Council members on the Hospital Board. The present
operating agreement„ between the City and Stanford University
provides that not more than one council member may serve on the
Board at the sarne time. Mr.Byxbee suggested that the two
Council members be rotted every two years scthat more members
of the Council would have experience on the Board. He felt that
such an arrangement would provide stronger liaison and a better
understanding of Hospital problems.
On motion of Porter and Rodgers, the suggestions of

recommendation back to the Council.
Initiative Petition on Planning and Zoninz
Councilman Debs called attention to the appeal now
pending on the decision of the Court relative to the petition of
initiative on planning procedures and zoning, and moved that the
Council drop the appeal and place the initiative ordinance before
the people fora vote. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Dias.
At the request of the Mayor, the Assistant City Attorney
reviewed the,, actions previously taken by the Council on the initiative
petition. On October 10, 1960. on advice of the City Attorney, the
petition was filed by the. Council. On January 9, 1961, the City
Attorney was authorized to appeal the trial court's decision to the
District Court of Appeal, and on June 12, 1961, the Council
adopted the recommendation d Committee No. 3 that no action be
taken on the citizens' request that the Council reconsider its position
in regard to the initiative ordinance.
The Assistant City Attorney advised that the motion is in
substance a mt:iion to reconsider action taken by the Council and
as such, in; accordance with the rules of order, the motion should
be made by one who voted with the prevailing side.
It was moved by Porter, seconded by Woodward, that
the matter be referred to the Committee of the Whole for discussion;
Councilman Rohrs stated that he would like to clarify'
his position Hereferred to the open letter to new councilmen in
tonight's Palo Alto Times which contained the statement that at'.
a meeting before the election all the candidates who were elected
had stated that if they were on the Council they would vote to put
the petition of initiative on the ballot. Mr. Rohrs advised that he
did not believe he made the statement that he would favor putting
the matter= on the ballot if elected. He referred to a statement
which he had first made that he felt the initiative ordinance should
have been put on the ballot first and then its legality challenged by
the Council, but since legal action had been instituted he felt now
that it should be settled before any further action is taken.
The motion to refer the matter to the Committee of the
Whole was carried by majority voice vote.
It was znoved by Stephens and seconded that the Council
instruct the staff to consider and report to the Council on other
possibilities and alternate :proposals for the proposed Oregon -Page
Mill Expressway When the County officials present their plans for
the expressway to'the Council. In making the motion Councilman
Stephens•.,stated that he thought the Council should take a "new look"
with the staff submitting alternate proposals which might take care
of the situation and., if possible, avoid the taking of existing residences
along the south side of Oregon Avenue.
After discussion, the motion to refer the matter to the
staff for a. study and report on alternate proposals was carried.
Mr. John Sturm, 932 Oregon Avenue, and Mr. Franke
Barr, 951 Oregon Avenue spoke briefly to the Council asking that.
there be no further delay on plans for the Oregon Expressway.
Mr. Sturm pointed outthat some of the property owners on Oregon
Avenue have taken options on other property or made commitments
elsewhere, .and urged that action be taken as soon as possible.
The City Manager advised that the County was not
prepared to make its presentation of the plans at this meeting, but
that he would contact the County officials and urge then to make
their presentation at the next Council meeting on July 24, 1961,
in order to avoid any further delay.
There being no further business to come before the
Council, the meeting was declared adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
