NEW BUSINESS 6. VEHICLE WEIGHT LIMIT RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN STREETS - Pacific and "B" Streets between Main and Sixth Streets A. J. Holub, 644 S. "B" St., requested that no restrictions be put on "B" Street or Pacific Street until something is done about a traffic signal and street parking at 6th and Pacific Streets. He also requested that no traffic tickets be given until this problem area is corrected. Council concurred to direct staff to study downtown truck traf- fic, weight loads, parking on 6th and E1 Camino, etc. and this to preclude any ticketing regarding weight restrictions. 100 1. TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODIFICATION AT RED HILL AND WALNUT AVENUES Matt Nisson, property owner at Walnut Ave. and Red Hill Ave., agreed~that ~he traffic signal needs modification but felt that could be done without widening the street. Councilman Saltarelli expressed that 4 or 5 more feet would allow us to have another lane of traffic. ROb Ledendecker, City Engineer, agreed that another lane of traffic would help some but that this would have nothing to do with Tustin Meadows Association's request. People are going into Tustin Meadows to avoid the light. At the morning rush hour, 6 out of 10 cars go into Tustin Meadows. Mr. Ledendecker said that a left turn signal could be put in but he would not recommend it because it would take green time away from Red Hill which would cause a greater traffic congestion. The pedestrian way could be eliminated for a right turn lane. Councilman Hoesterey said that this would not take care of the problem, which is too many cars on Red Hill. It was moved by Edgar, seconded blx Kennedy, to defer any action until staff can look into alternatives discussed at this meet- ing. Carried 5-0. 94 IV. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Edgar, seconded by Hoestere~, to adjourn at 6:20 p.m. to the 7:30 p.m. meeting. Carried 5-0. City Council Minutes Page 2, 9-8-81 CITY COUNCIL MEETING RECONVENED 7:40 P.M.

Councilman Saltarelli responded that those residents of the Mobile Home Park voted unanimously not to be annexed to the City. We made no promises to them whatsoever. They were annexed under the MORGA Act. Dr. Fleagle, Consultant, agreed. Mr. Saltarelli felt the improvements for "B" Street Mobile Home Park annexation should be put on a priority list and be treated the same as other areas of the City. City Council Minutes, Page 7, 9-8-81 7. PARK BOND MONEY Councilman Edgar suggested that we ask the County for financial help on the Columbus Tustin Park Recreation Facility since the park is so close to County area · Royleen White, Community Services DirectOr, pointed out that the amount the County would contribute is a very small portion and if they contribute, we will not be able to charge non resident fees for programs.

Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, responded that at pre- sent we do not have enough staff to maintain all the sidewalks at the rear of property so it is up to the adjacent owner. He said he would prepare a report on how many miles or feet of sidewalk would have to be maintained. l l. ILLEGAL FIRE WOOD AT SECOND AND "B" STREET $-~ Mayor Sharp reported illegal sale of fire wood on Second and "B" Street.
