Willie Mays greatly deserves this recognition by Atherton.

Measure L: "Should the Town of Atherton primarily use private donations to construct and design a new Town Center? Other funding sources might include funds derived from Building fees or future grant money but would not use general fund or parcel tax money.
I hope they don't plan on going back to the residents to pay for this project.

"I hope they don't plan on going back to the residents to pay for this project."
Especially when the grandiose design of the huge new civic center was based on residents not paying for it. If it were to be residents, or will be residents, it should be scaled way back to something affordable. We don't need a 27,000 square foot police station for a small police department that is supposed to be out walking or riding a beat most of the time anyway.
