TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Town Manager Chanis thanked the Council for the Council -Staff Retreat last week and thought
everyone appreciated the shorter format. He stated that staff is working to consolidate the
discussion and will return to the Council in the coming months with ideas and recommendations.
He also reminded the Council he will be out of the office April 8 through 12th but available by
phone and e-mail.
In response to Councilmember O'Donnell, the Town Manager stated the McKegney Green
consultant's draft report will be forwarded to the Council shortly. Director Barnes stated the
report is still at the administrative draft level. The Town Manager stated the report will be
forwarded to the Town Council prior to their next regular meeting.
Councilmember Fredericks noted years ago the landscaping along Old Rail Trail west of San
Rafael Avenue was low-lying, drought -resistant plantings. She said that in recent years the
plants have grown taller are now disrupting water views. She would prefer vegetation that would
frame views of the Bay rather than block them. She stated that her comments were in no way a
criticism of the Green Team, which does such a great job in the area. She said that lower plants
would be preferable. Town staff indicated that it would look into the matter.
