Consent Calendar, Item 8 - The Director of Public Works responded to
Councilman Edgar's concerns regarding the number of projects sub-
mitted for AHFP funding and utilization of AHFP funding as an addi-
tional resource should FAU funds be restricted. The Director
reported that the five-year program outlined one cooperative project
with the County through AHFP funding. The City will have a project
in the next year or so which will probably be referred to as the
widening of Red Hill/walnut Avenue adjacent to the Nisson property.
At present the City has virtually run out of ANFP projects until the
~newer area starts developing or more controversial projects are
tackled, such as widening of Walnut/Red Hill.
It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt the
following resolution:
8. RESOLUTION NO. 81-140 - A Resolution of the Council of the City
of Tustin REQUESTING THE COUNTY OF ORANGE TO INCLUDE WITHIN THE
ARTERIAL HIGHWAY FINANCING PROGRAM THE DEVELOPMENT OF VALENCIA
AVENUE FROM RED HILL AVENUE TO THE NEWPORT FREEWAY
Carried 5-0. 86
Consent Caledar Item 15 - Councilman Edgar stated his preference to
list Myford Road as second priority rather than Jamboree Boulevard,
and expressed concern over traffic movements on and off the free-
way. The Director of Public Works stated that the Myford Road
interchange is being submitted by Irvine wherein 75% of that inter-
9hange is located within Irvine city limits. The Director provided
background information pertaining to interchange movements at the
Jamboree Road project.
Council concerns were expressed regarding diverting traffic from the
industrial district around residential areas; acknowledging/reaf-
firming Irvine's submittal of Myford Road as a priority; grading and
banking of the ramps; noise attenuation walls; and elimination of
the northbond Jamboree ramp by encouraging use of the Myford
cloverleaf for northbound traffic. The Director of Public Works
stated that staff is requesting Council's confirmation of priorities
only, which has nothing to do with design, type, etc. The City's
projects will be competing with between 50-60 other projects being
submitted by Orange County cities which will then compete with
statewide projects. By submitting the projects, the City is letting
CalTrans know our concerns. Previously, the City submitted three
projects, one of which made the CalTrans program and is currently
being reviewed and worked on - the I-5/55 Interchange modifications.
Councilpersons Hoesterey and Kennedy expressed concern about devel-
opment of Jamboree Road (i.e., design, levels of traffic, the possi-
bility of at-grade exit ramps, and eliminating the overpass at
Jamboree) which was the only portion of the staff recommendation of
concern.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 5, 12-21-81
Councilmen Saltarelli and Hoesterey expressed apprehension about
setting a precedent. Council discussion followed.
The substitute motion by Kennedy to table the matter and look
into how drop boxes will affect private property, parking lots,
etc., died for lack of a second.
The Community Development Director reported that there are cur-
rently four drop box requests which would be subject to Use
Permit review if they were designed as a drive-up service. At
this point they are designed as a walk-up facility within a par-
ticular business center, and staff's reaction is that it is a
service being provided as part of the business center.
A substitute motion was made by Hoesterey, seconded by Salta-
relli, to not allow any drop boxes in the public right-of-way and
to let the issue die. Carried 5-0.
Council concurred to have staff look into the matter of drop box
services in comparison with other service-type boxes (i.e., Good-
will Industries) that are permitted on various private proper-
ties. 81
