Smart Planning for Los Altos Hills

Friends of Westwind Meeting Video

Friends of Westwind Meeting November 29th, 2006

Is the council failing its responsibility to maintain Westwind for the benefit of the Town? Over the years we've all heard stories about how the wait list for stalls was maintained in secrecy and how some Town residents felt they were passed over for non-residents. We've heard how residents would get the horses of their trainers into the Barn before residents, and so on. As far as we know, the Friends have tried to clean up their act. If anyone has any complaints about how they were treated, please forward the information to the Hills2000 Webmaster. If you wish, we will keep your name confidential.

The following video is a regular Friends of Westwind Board meeting.

Members of the Board appearing from left to right are: Linda Swan, Zsuzsa Molnar, Susie Holic (non-board-member?), Diana Watters (non-resident), Caesar Bisono(non-member, Barn Manager), Ulli Sharma, Patty Roche (non-resident, Secretary), Peter Biffar, Nick Dunckel (non-voting, Town pathways representative).

The people appearing in the audience include: Town residents and members of Friends of Westwind: Jane, Susan; and non-residents and members of Friends of Westwind: Sharon.

Of particular interest in this meeting is the address by Jean Mordo which lasts over 20 minutes and covers the intent of the Town to continue the use of the barn for boarding as it is currently being used, under the management of Friends, or a similar organization for the short term at least.

Also of interest is the dialog between Jane Kawasaki representing the interests of the Town and YRRP in an attempt to increase the amount of time available for the YRRP, starting in March, from a total of about 6 hours spread over 4 days a week to about 10 hours spread over 7 days a week. She never got the commitment. ("For terms of the Lease, we are already fulfilling the terms of the Lease.")

You can listen/view the meeting in two multi-media formats. These include a low speed video (56k modem), and (if you are watching on a Hills2000 supplied CD) high speed video (DSL or higher speeds).
