A Web search for the sen-tence “I don’t like fennel” retrieves 4,600 hits. For

mustard greens, 9,700. For radic-chio, 1,200. Such sentiments were probably not felt by reporters and local officials gathered at Atherton’s Sacred Heart Preparatory High School on Wednesday, March 3, where all of these vegetables are grown in the school’s 6-year-old organic garden. Two of the vege-tables — radicchio and mustard greens — were on the menu for breakfast. They went fast. The school had invited the

visitors to celebrate its new-ly acquired right to prepare and serve campus-grown food, including eggs, a first for a school in San Mateo County. The Environmental Health Ser-vices Division gave the school the green light in December. With that recognition comes another: As of March 3, Sacred Heart is the first school in the nation to receive the top green-building award, a spokeswoman said.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING

AND

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

CITY OF MENLO PARK PLANNING COMMISSION

MEETING MARCH 22, 2010

Measure to Limit Retirement Benefits for New City of Menlo Park

Employees (excluding Sworn Police Officers) and to Restrict City

Council from Increasing Benefits in the Future without Voter Approval

The initiative proposes to adopt an Ordinance to place limits on defined benefit pensions for “new employees” of the City of Menlo Park hired after the effective date of the proposed ordinance, excluding sworn police officers. The initiative would have no direct impact on existing retirement benefits for existing City employees, or on retirement benefits for new sworn police officers.

The initiative establishes 60 years of age as the minimum “full retirement age” for new employees. The City could offer retirement benefits to employees starting at age 55 with reduced benefits, provided there is a cost savings to the City.

Under the initiative, new employees generally would be eligible for smaller defined benefit pensions than those currently provided. The initiative establishes maximum pension ben-efits for an employee of no more than 2% of the employee’s annual average base wage as defined by the Public Employee Retirement System, which is based on no greater than the highest annual average base wage of the employee over a period of three consecutive years of employment, multiplied by the number of years of employment.

The initiative prohibits the City from providing retroactive increases in retirement pension benefits for any current or new employee.

Under the initiative, employees shall pay at least 7% of their salaries toward their retirement. If the City’s required contribution drops below 7%, the City may pay part of the employee’s contribution such that the employees’ and City’s contributions are effectively equal.

The limits imposed by the initiative may only be modified by approval of the majority of voters at a regularly scheduled election.

The initiative would become effective and apply following approval by a majority of voters and upon expiration of collective bargaining agreements with the City’s two non-safety bargaining units in effect as of the date of approval.

num Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) award from the U.S. Green Build-ing Council. Sacred Heart’s extra garden pro-duce is donated to those in need, including St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room in Redwood City, Sandwiches on Sundays in Menlo Park, and Food Not Bombs in San Francisco, school spokeswoman Annie Berlin said. The menu for the celebration reflected the season and included radicchio braised with bacon and rosemary, radicchio fritters, Swiss chard frittata, braised mustard greens, and blue-corn muffins. That it went fast and that such food probably goes fast every day there is easily explained. For one thing, it should not be called food. The more deserving term is cuisine. The school has a food service contract with Los Altos-based Epicurean Group, which has institutional clients throughout the Bay Area. Still, it seems natural that students would object to fennel, which tastes like black licorice, and radicchio, which is bitter. Epicurean’s Jim Julian said the staff is not intimidated and dis-cusses food with students. “We introduce things (in the spirit of) not being afraid, and not being afraid to reintroduce them,” he said. “You kind of build that excitement about it.” Some students also get their hands dirty. Those who take Human Geography and Envi-ronmental Science, an elective taught by history teacher and student garden coordinator Stew-

art Slafter, work the garden and learn of worldwide patterns of agriculture and different concepts of what constitutes food. The average Byelorussian, for example, eats 400 pounds of pota-toes a year, Mr. Slafter said. What do students take away? “At the very least,” Mr. Slafter said, “they know what it is to plant carrot seeds and weed and see the seeds germinate and nurse the crop and harvest it and know how meticulous a process that is.” The program is modeled on the edible schoolyard, an idea pioneered by celebrity chef Alice Waters. Sacred Heart’s 10,000-square-foot section of schoolyard is definitely edible. A innocent looking patch of weeds turned out to be sukiyaki greens and borage. One taste and you’ll want them in your backyard. Mr. Slafter and students also maintain a flock of egg-laying chickens, three goats and some

rabbits. While the goats help dispose of campus green waste, the animals also contribute valuable manure to the compost, which is segregated to prevent animal protein from finding its way to ground where food is grown, Mr. Slafter said.

Student views Freshmen Johnathan Louie of Menlo Park and Bridgette Harper of South San Francisco take a global studies class at Sacred Heart and toured the garden with reporters. Asked if he has a home garden, Johnathan replied: “I have room for a garden, but do I have the time? No.” And his parents? “No,” he added. “We’re a very busy family.” Bridgette said her home has a small garden, which Mr. Slafter has inspired her to expand. (For the record, a Web search for the sentence “I don’t like tomatoes” yielded 99,000 hits.) A

The City Council of the City of Menlo Park hereby gives public notice of its intent to define the service area and increase the existing solid waste / recycling rates for single-family residential customers within the City of Menlo Park for the collection of solid waste and recyclable materials. The changes, if approved, will be effective on July 1, 2010. The City Council plans to consider these rate increases at a public hearing on March 23, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in the City of Menlo Park Council Chambers Building at 701 Laurel Street - Civic Center.

What are the new rates: Several rate amounts will be

considered at the public hearing. The maximum monthly rates under consideration by size and number of containers are as follows:

4 N/A 97.28 129.56 N/A 136.60 184.72

In addition to the rates shown above the City Council will also consider expanding the services provided to include Door-to-Door collection of Household Hazardous Waste, Universal Waste, Electronic Waste, and Sharps and Medicine at a cost of $0.45 per month per customer through a City-wide contract for the Recycling and Disposal Services provided by Curbside Inc. The additional services and fee, if approved, would be effective as of July 1, 2010.

Necessity for new rates: The intended new rates are necessary due to the terms of the City’s existing contract with Allied Waste Company, which provide for fees to be set at a level which gives the Contractor a rate of return based on approved costs. The Contractor’s costs have increased primarily due to increased labor and disposal costs. The City’s costs of providing billing services and environmental programs that support reductions in solid waste have also increased in recent years. Prior year rate increases have not kept pace with this combination of rising costs, resulting in a significant amount due to Allied at the end of the contract on December 31, 2010.

If you would like additional information on the proposed rates, please visit the Finance Department located on the second floor at City Hall, 701 Laurel Street or call 650-330-6644.

If you wish to file a written protest, please send a letter addressed to Solid Waste Rates, City Clerk, City of Menlo Park, 701 Laurel Street, Menlo Park, CA 94025. Your letter must identify the real property you own by street address and the assessor’s parcel number. Your letter must be legibly signed by any one of the current property owners. Your name should be set forth as it appears on your tax bill. The City of Menlo Park must receive your letter at City Hall by 5:00 p.m. on March 19, 2010, or it must be presented at the City Council meeting on March 23, 2010, prior to the close of the public hearing on the matter.

Any person interested, including all solid waste / recycling collection customers of the City of Menlo Park, may appear at the public hearing and be heard on any matter related to the proposed increase in rates.

David Palecek, 37, Atherton resident, father of four David Vaclav Palecek, an Atherton resident and a partner at McKinsey & Co. management consulting firm, died from com-plications of a staphylococcus infection at Stanford Hospital on Feb. 16. He was 37. A celebration of his life is sched-uled for 11 a.m. Sunday, March 14, at the Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford campus. Born in Richmond, Virginia, he spent the first several years of his life with his parents in Lau-sanne, Switzerland. The family moved to Palo Alto in 1975, and then to Atherton, where Mr. Palecek and his two brothers grew up. As a teenager, he was an Eagle Scout and became a member of the Alpine Meadows ski patrol, a volunteer job he performed for 20 seasons, family mem-bers said. He graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in genomics from the University of California at Davis.

He took a job with McKinsey & Co. in its Prague office, and then attended Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, graduating in 1998. It was there he met his future wife, Melissa Black. They married in 2000. Mr. Palecek rejoined McKinsey at its Palo Alto office and was made

partner in 2003. He was a devoted and loving father to his four daughters, 6-year-old twins Katrina and Caroline, Sierra, 5, and Annika, 14 months. He enjoyed wind-surfing, water-skiing and sailing, and was an avid skier, a certified dive master and a licensed pilot, family members said. Besides his wife Melissa and their four daughters, Mr. Palecek is survived by his parents, Peter and Hana Palecek of Atherton; and his brothers Misha Palecek and Tom Palecek, both of San Francisco. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the David V. Palecek Memorial Trust to assist with his daughters’ health-care, welfare and education. Checks should be made payable to “David V. Palecek Memorial Trust” and sent to David Palecek Memorial Trust, 68 Mesa Court, Atherton, CA 94027.

Town of AthertonNotice of Public Hearing Regarding Proposed

Increase in Solid Waste/Recycling Rates

A public hearing on proposed increases to solid waste/recycling rates will be held by the City Council on Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 7:00 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, 94 Ashfi eld Road, Atherton CA

The proposed new rate could be increased up to 16.9% effective March 17, 2010. This notice also describes how to fi le a protest regarding the proposed rate increases. All property owners/tenants and other interested parties are invited to attend the public hearing and be heard on the proposed rate increases.

Proposed New Rates:As detailed below, the proposed rate schedule includes a fi xed rate for each gallon of refuse, with no additional charge for recycled materials or green waste collection. A new $20 per month fee is proposed to cover the cost of backyard service. This fee would not be charged to households where disability prevents the use of the curbside service.

Quantity Volume Current Monthly Proposed Monthly Rates Rates

1 20 gallon $14.80 $17.311 32 gallon $23.68 $27.691 45 gallon $29.60 $34.612 32 gallon $47.36 $55.38

Basis For New Rates: The above new rates are necessary because the cost to Republic Services (Allied Waste Company) of providing solid waste/recycling services has increased due to increased labor costs, increased disposal costs and bond debt necessary for the Recycling Facility improvements. The need for these increases was discussed by the City Council at its meeting of January 20, 2010. The staff report for this matter is available on the Town’s website www.ci.atherton.ca.us, or at the Town’s Administrative offi ces.

Protest Procedures: The City Council of the Town of Atherton will hold a public hearing on March 17, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at Atherton Town Council Chambers, 94 Ashfi eld Road, Atherton, CA. At this hearing, the City Council will consider public comment as well as written protests by ratepayers and property owners against the proposed increase in solid waste/recycling fees. Any person interested, including any solid waste/recycling collection customers of the Town of Atherton, may appear at the public hearing and be heard on any matter related to the proposed increase in rates.

Any written protest must be signed by the property owner or the customer responsible for payment of the fee and it must include the service address or assessor’s parcel number (APN). The Town of Atherton must receive any written protest at Town Hall by 5:00 p.m. on March 17, 2010, or the written protest must be presented at the City Council meeting on March 17, 2010 prior to the close of the public hearing on the matter. If you wish to mail a written protest, please send it in a sealed envelope addressed to Solid Waste Rates, Deputy City Clerk, Town of Atherton, 91 Ashfi eld Road, Atherton, CA 94027. Only one protest may be fi led per parcel or service address.

If written protests are presented by a majority of affected property owners/customers prior to close of the public hearing, the City Council cannot adopt the proposed rates and another rate structure would have to be proposed.

If you would like additional information on the proposed rates, please visit Town Administrative Offi ces at 91 Ashfi eld Road, Atherton, CA or call 650-752-0529.

Proposition 65 Warning L-3 Communications Randtron Antenna Systems operates facilities located at and around 130 Constitution Dr., Menlo Park which uses and emits chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. We do not believe that any person is exposed to these chemicals at levels constituting a health or safety risk. However, we have not made a formal determination that actual exposure levels are below the Proposition 65 "no significant risk" levels for car-cinogens or "no observable effect" levels for chemicals known to cause reproductive harm, and we have not performed a risk analysis to determine the precise amount of exposure that any individual would receive over a 70

year period. Proposition 65 therefore obligates us to provide this warning to potentially effected individuals. Further information may be obtained by con-tacting L-3 Randtron Antenna Systems at 650-326-9500 Ext. 483. (Almanac March 10, 2010)
