ELIZABETH WAY ANNEXATION NO. 130 TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN
It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Saltarelli, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 82-59.
Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy said that this was a costly annexation.
She supported it originally and can give it some lukewarm sup-
port now but feels that the days are over that the Council can
annex in areas that cannot pay their own way.
Motion carried 5-0. 24
2.PUBLIC HEARING -- 1982/83 BUDGET aND PROPOSED USE OF FEDERAL

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 3, 7-19-82
Councilman Greinke was not in favor of awarding the bid when
there 'was just one bid submitted and especially since it was
$10,000 above the Engineer's estimate. The City Engineer
explained that there were several different types of bid items
in this job and two items, one which was a drinking fountain,
came in substantially higher than the engineer's estimate.
Councilman Hoesterey said there was a possiblity that if we
readvertise, the bids would even come in higher than this time.
It was moved by Greinke, seconded by Kennedy, to reject the bids
and readvertise. Motion failed 2-3, Edgar, Hoesterey, and
Saltarelli opposed.
The original motion to award the contract carried 5-0. 77
2, SPEED ZONE -- MAIN STREET AND BRYAN AVENUE
ORDINANCE NO. 873 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City
of Tustin, California, REVISING PRIMA FACIE SPEED LIMITS ON CER-
TAIN STREETS
Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, gave the staff report basically
as contained in his report dated June 29, 1982. He recommended
setting the speed limit on Main Street at 40 mph from the
Westerly city limits to "B" street, 30 mph from "B" Street to
Prospect, and 40 mph from Prospect to Bryan Ave; and for Bryan
Avenue at 40 mph from Main Street to Browning Avenue and 45 mph
from Browning Avenue to Myford Rd. The area near the school at
Farmington would be posted "25 mph when children are present."
These speeds would be enforceable with radar.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Greinke, that Ordinance No.
873 have first reading by title only with the addition that stop
signs be placed at Pacific Street and "B" Street on Main Street.
Councilman Hoesterey was concerned that when the Town Center is
put in we will have traffic backed up and rather than solving a
problem, we may be creating one.
The City Engineer expressed that we can put in the stop signs
but people will still drive 40 mph between the stop signs. He
recommended not putting in stop signs at either street until
warrants are taken. We presently have a suit from an accident
in the area of Pacific over visibility coming over the overpass.
The Police Dept. has not had an opportunity to enforce the speed
limit because they could not use radar. Perhaps we should take
time to see if enforcement by radar will reduce the speeds.
A substitute motion was made by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy,
to continue this item to see if we can bring the speed limit to
35 mph on Main Street from Pacific to the downtown area.
Carried 5-0.
3, SELECTION OF CONSULTANT TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION SURVEYING
SERVICES FOR IRVINE BLVD. FAU PROJECT
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy, to select the
firm of Greer and Company to provide subject services and autho-
rize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest to the
subject agreement. Carried 5-0. 95
4, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH MELAD & ASSOCIATES
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Hoesterey, to affirm the
ongoing relationship for contractual services for Melad & Asso-
ciates and authorize execution of the subject agreement by the
Mayor. Carried 5-0. 45
5. RESOLUTION NO. 82-55 - A Resolution of the City Council of the
City of Tustin, California, REQUESTING THE COMMENCEMEnT OF PRO-
CEEDINGS FOR THE ANNEXATION~ AND REORGANIZATION OF CERTAIN NON-
CONTIGUOUS UNINHABITED AREAS DESIGNATED AS "TUSTIN WATER UTILITY
ANNEXATION NO. 131" TO THE CITY OF TUSTIN
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 7-19-82
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded b~ KennedX, to adopt Reso-
lution No. 82-55.
Edgar said that this resolution includes a well site on La Veta
in Orange and we might want to sell that site to the City of
Orange at a future date.
R. Kenneth Fleagle, Consultant, responded that there is one pro-
perty in Orange, which is on Parcel "D" and one in Santa Aria,
which is Parcel "L". These two well sites have not as yet been
'-u~de~-~.dlscusston for transfer of ownership. This would be a
separate negotiation. We will wait to submit this to the Local
Agenc~ Formation Commission Until the determination has been
made as to the disposition of sites in Santa Ana and Orange. We
will still proceed then as an annexation without reorganization.
The City Manager said that whether we proceed or not, it is not
going to limit your flexibility to either retain or sell them at
some later point because the sale wouldn't hinge upon whether it
is inside or outside the City. These sites will only be annexed
as long as the City owns them and uses them for mUnicipal
purposes. Motion carried 5- 0 · 24
6. PAVING OFNARROW NECK CENTER MEDIANS WITH STAMPED (EMBOSSED)
CONCRETE
The City Manager recommended that the CoUncil include the narrow
neck center medians on Irvine Blvd. from Yorba to Mountain View
and from Newport Freeway to Prospect to be paved with stamped
concrete in conjUntion with the Irvine Blvd. FAU Project. With
regard to the other projects, there are two things that need to
be considered: 1) Any differential between what is funded out
of RDA would come out of the Gas Tax fUnd. and 2) We need to
look at this cost relative to the monies needed for Moulton
Parkway. The Moulton Parkway preliminary estimate from the
Engineering study will be available the first week in August.
Also each time we allocate additional Redevelopment money, that
is less money available to cover any start up costs on the bond
program. If the CoUncil postpones any action on sites "C"
through "J" until the second meeting in August, you would still
have time to include them as part of the FAU project.
CoUncilman Saltarelli suggested that we might want to consider
changing some of the wide portions of islands on Newport, south
of First Street, in order to allow more stacking room.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy, to include
sites "A" and "B", which are on Irvine Blvd., from Yorba to
MoUntain View and from Newport Freeway to Prospect, and consider
the other sites after we have the financial input.
The City Manager said this would be included on the August 16th
agenda ·
Motion carried 5-0. 95

Received and filed. 95
2. ESTABLISHMENT OF A GATE FEE AT DUMP SITES BY THE BOARD OF SUPER-
VISORS
Mayor Edgar reported that he went to the meeting of the BOard of
Supervisors and they lacked sensitivity and voted to approve
this gate fee without considering committee reports or cities'
feelings. It was improper and illegal and I think that we
should join the other cities of Orange CoUnty andl Sa~itation

District in taking the Board of Supervisors to task.
Jim Rourke, the City Attorney, said that he and several of the
attorneys in his office had conferred on the matter and have
talked with other concerned Orange County City Attorneys and a
meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday morning in the City
Attorney's office in Anaheim and all Orange County City Attor-
neys have been invited to send a representative. We have done
some very preliminary research and we think that the County is
on very thin ice in this matter but in any event, after this
meeting on Wednesday, we expect to come up with some recommenda-
tions to the League as to how we might then proceed.
It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, that we authorize
Attorney Rourke to participate and share with the other cities
of Orange County in whatever legal items can be pursued.
Carried 5-0. 102
3. CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION (DOWNTOWN AREA)
It was moved by Hoesterey~ seconded by Saltarelli, to review the
subject survey letter and direct staff to mail same to the
twenty-five property owners whose properties do not contain
curbs and gutters.
Mayor Edgar felt the reference to sidewalks would react nega-
tively. Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy agreed and volunteered to
rewrite the letter for the next meeting.
Council concurred to leave open until the next meeting. 92
4. WATER SERVICE STUDIES TIMETABLE
Received and filed. 107
XI. OTHER BUSINESS
REDHILL TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Councilman 8altarelli reported that the Redhill traffic signals
had been out of synchronization for four days. The City Engi-
neer responded that this was due to one being knocked down but
they have been reset.
2. 4TH OF JULY PROGRAM
Councilwoman Kennedy had received a letter thanking the City of
Tustin and the Police Department for the fine work they did in
controlling all phases of the 4th of July program.
CouncilmanHoesterey suggested that staff should send a response
back from the Mayor and Council to people who take the time to
send letters of con~nendation. Mr. Huston responded that staff
tries to acknowledge every letter that comes from residents.
3. MEETINGS
Councilman Greinke reported that he and Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy
had luncheon with Supervisor Stanton which was very productive
as far as communications. Also he artended the League of Cali-
fornia Cities meeting in Monterey and gained some ideas on
~ finance, some fresh approaches from cities and about 500 differ-
ent suggestions that he would like staff to duplicate for the
other Councilpersons.
4. POLITICAL SIGNS
Mayor Edgar reported some political signs from the April elec-
tion are still up on Moulton Parkway and in industrial park.
