Disputed Los Altos Hills trash talks terminate

Disputed Los Altos Hills trash talks terminate Marie Godderis/Town Crier File Photo GreenWaste garbage cans lined up on a Los Altos Hills street. Although it certainly won’t preclude complaints going forward, the epic saga of Los Altos Hills’ garbage collection contract seems to have concluded – officially, at least. City Manager Carl Cahill, at the Hills’ Feb. 18 city council meeting, announced the end of attempts to convince San Jose-based GreenWaste Recovery to provide adjustments lowering residents’ monthly rates. “We’re not getting anywhere with GreenWaste,” Cahill said. Yes, with prodding, GreenWaste did provide four alternative rate structures, but each made the town’s 15-year contract with the company even more expensive for residents, Cahill said.

Defeated once more: Hills council denies controversial housing projects

Written by Megan V. Winslow Even with three new members seated on the virtual Los Altos Hills City Council dais, Forrest Linebarger once again failed to secure approval for his Mora Drive housing projects last week.  Councilmembers Thursday voted 5-0 to uphold a Planning Commission decision to deny permits and variances that would allow the developer to follow through with his most recent designs for two single-family homes at 10728 and 10758 Mora Drive. Approving the projects, Councilmember George Tyson told Linebarger, would violate the key tenets that influenced him to run for office in 2018: preservation of the town’s semi-rural environment, respect for the thoughtful recommendations of volunteers like commissioners and adherence to responsible fiscal management.
