TOWN OF LOS GATOS DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT MINUTES OF THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING NOVEMBER 5, 2024 The Development Review Committee of the Town of Los Gatos conducted a regular meeting on November 5, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. ROLL CALL Present: Sean Mullin, Planning; Roy Alba, Building; Corvell Sparks, PPW Engineering; and Kenny Ip, SCCFD. MEETING CALLED TO ORDER AT 10:00 AM VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS Gus Who I have three items that I would like to bring up quickly, two are videos. One video is on Lynn Avenue showing traffic and there is no sidewalk and lacks lighting along the street which is a safety issue. I talked to Alexa, Town staff, about the upcoming increase water bills and surcharge of 12% on top of the 33% increase and I want people to be aware. The other clip I am sharing is around the election and there being fraud. There appears to be a second shooter based on this video from the dark web. One person with a rifle walks out and walks away, then another person comes out with a rifle, leans the rifle against the railing, then the previous person comes back and takes the rifle that was leaning, but looks around like he is doing it sneakily.
