Councilmember Saltarelli stated he supported the fee increases and noted the importance of the user covering rental costs.

CITIZEN REQUEST FOR MODIFICATIONS TO ON -STREET PARKING RESTRICTIONS ALONG SIXTH STREET BETWEEN EL CAMINO REAL AND 11011 STREET Doug Anderson, Transportation Engineer, reported that resident Don Lejeune had requested the City implement the following changes to existing parking restrictions in the El Camino Real/Sixth Street area: removal of the two-hour parking zone along Sixth Street between El Camino Real and "C" Street; and reduction of red zone on Sixth Street at the southwest and northeast corners of E1 Camino Real and Sixth Street intersection. Staff investigated the requested modifications and concluded that the two-hour parking restrictions should remain since there had not been substantial changes in the area to warrant modification of parking restrictions, and the El Camino Real/Sixth Street intersection had not been physically modified since installation of the traffic signal and the red curb markings in 1984. The markings were recommended to improve intersection visibility and to provide adequate turning radii for vehicular traffic, and the original concerns that led to the installation of the red curb in 1984 still remained. Council/staff discussion followed regarding parking restrictions near intersections. Councilmember Thomas suggested implementing a parkin restriction from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Sixth Street. g The following member of the audience spokeon approval of modificationso on -street parking restrictions along Sixth betweenStreet Camino Real and C��Street.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 10, 11-2-92 Councilmember Saltarelli said he would not support the modifications to the parking restrictions because he felt that additional parking could be attained if the property owner removed the junk and debris from the backyard area. He also stated that repair and maintenance was needed on the property's fencing and grass areas. He noted safety concerns regarding modifications to the red curbing, which would create a dangerous intersection for motorists. He wanted to review the request following improvements to the site. Mayor Pro Tem Potts said he agreed that the premises should be cleaned but said he believed the red curbing could be removed as long as there was adequate turning radii for vehicles. He noted the curb was in poor 'condition and the City needed to repaint it. Councilmember Thomas stated that the issue was not the condition of the building and premises but the parking restriction and he favored removal of the red curbing. He suggested that the owner contact staff regarding redevelopment assistance. It was moved by Thomas, seconded by Potts, to reduce the red zone on Sixth Street and El Camino Real intersection; approve parking restriction from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. along Sixth Street between El Camino Real and "C" Street; and schedule review by Planning Commission in nine months. Mayor Pontious questioned if the owner would be eligible for assistance through the Community Development Block Grant Fund program.

Motion carried 3-10, Saltarelli opposed, Puckett absent. 5. COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION William Huston, City Manager, reported that at Councilmember Thomas' request, staff had collected information from other municipalities operating or co -sponsoring community non-profit foundations. He summarized findings including the premise of the non-profit foundation; guidelines; structure; and cost to incorporate a non-profit foundation. Mayor Pontious stated she favored implementing a general purpose non-profit foundation including youth activities. Councilmember Thomas stated that creation of a non-profit foundation would allow people to remember the City other than through a will or trust. He said the foundation would involve the community and provide more youth, cultural, and educational programs. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 11, 11-2-92 It was moved by Thomas, seconded by Potts, to approve the non- profit foundation concept; and direct staff to submit a report regarding funding appropriation and articles of incorporation at the November 16, 1992 Council meeting.
