CONSENT CALENDAR MEETING OF TUSTIN CITY COUNCIL RECONVENED AT 8:18 P.M. August 20, 1979 JAMBOREE ROAD Peer Swan, 14351 Morning Glory, asked that the matter of Jamboree Road becoming a major roadway be agendized for public input. Councilmen Saltarelli and Welsh responded that there are intricate negoti- ations going on now between the City of Irvine, the Marine Corps, the County, and the Sanitation Districts for an alternate road and they did not think that the timing was right to have a hearing at this time. Mr. Swan was concerned that at a future time a tract might be approved without the residents knowledge, that would be predicated on Jamboree Rd. going in and then it would be too late for them to make their thoughts known. Council assured him that they are hoping an alternate road pattern can be worked out with the Marine Corps and that the Homeowners' Associations would be notified of any hearings that would affect Jamboree Road. Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, advised the Council from staff's point of view that a complete traffic study should be done before a complete down- grade of Jamboree would be decided upon. SERVICE TAX FOR UNINCORPORATED AREAS Richard Edgar, 13622 Loretta Drive, inquired of the status of any service tax for unincorporated areas to 'eliminate tax inequities between city and unincorporated residents. Councilman Welsh indicated that this subject was being pursued with the County. Mr. Blankenship added that, in addition to the Tax EqUity Study, the County is studying the possibility of a street lighting charge. New legislation now permits a County to levy a service charge for Police or Fire services. BICYCLE CROSSING AT SERVICE ROAD AND RED HILL Jack Eppinger, 14532 Alder Lane, was concerned about the heavy bicycle traffic at the signal at Service Road'and Red Hill. He asked if we could put in a push button so that the children could cross with a green light. Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, responded that the intent of the City was to discourage bicycle crossing at that point and to have the bicycles go through the school area to Sycamore and cross at that point. He said it was a matter of an education program at the school and at the Little League games. He said that he would look into the matter and report back. 1. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - August 6, 1979. 2.
