| Town Council Meeting Tonight at 7 PM |
Prior to the start of the scheduled meeting, the Council will conduct a study session to discuss alcohol and entertainment in Los Gatos. The Council Policy Committee recently discussed these topics and decided that full Council consideration in the form of a study session would be the most appropriate next step. This study session will begin at 6pm in the Town Council Chambers.
Following the Study session, at 7pm, the regular Town Council Meeting will begin. During the meeting, Town Council will continue its discussion on how the Town defines and implements provisions pertaining to formula retail, specialty retail, outdoor seating and other related topics. This discussion began at the September 1, 2015 Council meeting and was continued to this meeting.
You may review the agendas, staff reports, and attachments prepared for both the September 1 and the October 6 meetings, including the study session report on alcohol and entertainment at: http://www.losgatosca.gov/2148/Town-Council-Agenda-Minutes
