Council names Hynes new city attorney

By Los Altos

Town Crier Staff Report

The Los Altos City Council named Marc Hynes new city attorney last week during a closed meeting. Hynes has served as interim city attorney for the past 10 months, filling the vacancy left by his legal partner Robert Booth Jr., who died unexpectedly last September. Booth had served as Los Altos’ city attorney for 19 years.

Hynes is a partner in Atkinson-Farasyn, LLP, a private law firm in Mountain View. A 1970 graduate of the University of California, Boalt Hall, Hynes began his law career as a legal officer on the Seventh Fleet Flagship USS Oklahoma City in 1971.

He was general counsel for San Martin County Water District, Community Health Awareness Council and Cooperative Library Agency for Systems and Services.

Hynes has served as city attorney for Atherton, Morgan Hill, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Milpitas and Monte Sereno. He was assistant city attorney for Los Altos Hills from 1983 through 1990.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
