Proposed Tennis Court Lighting Project Progresses - “Let there be Lights”
The Town of Los Altos Hills Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 24th to
consider the Club’s proposed project and voted 4-1 to recommend that the City Council
approve the project, with some modifications to the conditions of approval. The final
outcome of the Club’s proposed project will be decided at the Los Altos Hills City
Council’s regular meeting and public hearing on Thursday, August 21, 2014 at
7:00 p.m. in the Town Hall Council Chambers located at 26379 Fremont Road, Los
Altos Hills.
Thanks to all of you who wrote emails to the Los Altos Hills Planning Commissioners
about your support of the Club's proposed Tennis Court Lighting project! We believe
those emails had a positive impact on the Commissioners’ votes. And, thanks to all of
you who attended the meeting and spoke during the public comment period. It was
especially helpful that youth and non-members (even past LAH mayors) voices were
also heard. We were pleased that many more spoke in favor of the proposed project
than those opposed.
Please refer to the July 22, 2014 “FHCC – Important Update About Tennis Court
Lighting Application” email to Club members to see what you can do to help achieve
approval from the Los Altos Hills City Council on August 21st.
As mentioned in an email update about the project that was sent to members on May
30, 2014, it is important to restate that, if the Club is successful and receives approval
from the Los Altos Hills City Council, the Finance Committee and Board have
determined that no assessment of the membership would be required to fund the
project.
Any questions may be directed to Scott Domnie, FHCC General Manager,
Jim McLennan, FHCC Tennis Director, or Larry Russell, FHCC Board Secretary. An email
will be sent to the membership after the City Council meeting to inform everyone of its
decision on the Club’s proposed project.

The Fremont Hills’ Barracudas stormed into Avery Aquatics

AWESOME SWIMMING! The 2014 Barracudas outscored last
year by over 50 points with 7 individual event wins and 16
swimmers out of our 42 entered scoring massive points for
the team! It was our best showing in years and the team is
looking forward to growing, getting better, and having
even more fun in the 2015 season!

not potty trained must wear a swim diaper.
Swim Diapers are available from the

Take advantage of the amazing lesson
program and the remainder of the summer
by enrolling your beginning swimmers into
the Barracuda Swim School! There are still
2 full week sessions of our summer term
before we begin our fall enrollment. This
will be the first year that Fremont Hills will
be running a fall session of our Swim

to be part of it.

Come out to Trivia Thursdays by the pool!

mentally stack each other up with fun

Something New – Very New
We have installed a camera on court 2. You have
the option to use the court, and then later in the
day go to a dedicated server to watch your
tennis.
The default position for the camera is always
OFF. Tennis can be recorded only by unlocking
the enclosure to turn the camera on. Further, all
viewing is password protected, so only you can
review the tennis that you played.
If you are working on doubles tactics, singles
technique, or just want to see how you look on
court – I believe this is an incredible resource.
Food will be outstanding, beer and/or wine will
be served on the patio between courts 1 & 2
Reservations are always required and the
24 hour cancellation applies.
$16++
(fees are per person, plus service fee & sales tax)
