The Los Gatos General Plan Committee has called a special two-hour public hearing on April 16 to discuss a proposed telecommunications ordinance. The purpose of the ordinance is to set specific criteria and guidelines for the location and design of cell phone towers. Last year the town council set a moratorium on approving wireless communication facilities until an ordinance had been drafted. That moratorium will expire in July. A draft of the ordinance is available for review at town hall, 110 E. Main St. The April 16 meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m.


Special senior award will be given in May

The seventh annual Senior of Distinction Award will be presented at a champagne reception at The Terraces of Los Gatos in May. The event, co-sponsored by The Terraces and the Los Gatos Weekly-Times, recognizes one senior living in the Los Gatos/Monte Sereno area who has enriched the lives of others through outstanding contributions. Honorable mention awards will also be given. For more information on the nomination process, call The Terraces at 408.356.1006 or the Los Gatos Senior Center at 408.354.1514.
