WALNUT AVENUE BIKE LANES The City Engineer reported that in meeting with Nelson School and Nelson PTO, an additional idea was suggested whereby an off-street trail would be placed within the school property along the fence. However, staff feels that any system should include a street trail; and although morning congestion at the intersection would be reduced by an off-street trail, if it is not done on a joint School District/City basis, a precedent would be set obligating the City at other school locations where a similar situation exists. Staff will proceed to contact the School District for cooperation approval. It was then moved by Edgar, seconded by Kennedy, to: 1 · Restripe westbound Walnut Avenue for two 11 ' -wide travel lanes between Cherrywood Lane and Red Hill Avenue; 2. Stripe a 5 ' -wide bike lane for westbound Walnut Avenue between Raintree Road and Browning Avenue; 3 · Restripe eastbound Walnut Avenue for two 11 ' -wide travel lanes between Oxford Avenue and CherryWood Lane; 4 · Stripe a 5 ' -wide bike lane for eastbound Walnut Avenue between Browning Avenue and Raintree Road; 5. Remove all on-street parking along Walnut Avenue between Red Hill Avenue and Raintree Road; 6. Defer action on the "No Right Turn On Red" until such time as the traffic signal at Walnut and Browning Avenues is installed and operational for further staff review; and 7. Consider the off-street facility in the 1980-81 Capital Improvement Program as a joint project with the School Dis- trict whereby each agency would participate on a 50% basis.

CALIFORNIA WATER ISSUES Peer Swan, a resident of Laurelwood and a member of the Irvine Ranch Water District, urged the Council to support SB 200 which favors the construction of the Peripheral Canal Project. It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy, to direct staff to prepare correspondence for the Mayor's signature to the Secretary of Interior urging the adoption of the City's position on the following four water issues: 1) Encourage policies that will lead towards entirely filling the $330 million new Melones Dam on the Stanislaus River, which will assure proper water supply backup in times of critical need for our system. 2) Support the construction of the Peripheral Canal Project as being vital to the water needs of Southern California, primarily due to the 55% cutback in Colorado River water supply around 1985. 3) Urge construction of the Auburn Dam in the Central Valley project as being critical for water supply backup assurances to our community. 4) If the City of Los Angeles is required to reduce its water supply from Mono Basin (constituting about 20% of L.A.'S water needs) as recommended by a 1979 Task Force report, that City would seek water diversions from other sources. Motion carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent- 107 5. PROPOSAL FOR NEW SERVICE AND RATE INCREASE - COMMUNITY CABLE- VISION COMPANY Peer Swan, a resident of Laurelwood, said that it was his under- standing that at the time the law was passed that went into effect in January, 1980, one of the provisions of the law was that if a certain percentage in any city is actually subscribing to the service that the amount of the increase in any year is limited by the Consumer Price Index. He asked if a copy of the law could be made available to the residents- Mayor Pro Tem Edgar expressed that it would be valuable to have all the data that relates to the history of this cablevision company available to the Laurelwood and Peppertree Homeowners. This action tonight does not establish a rate but just estab- lishes procedures for considering the rate increase. It was moved by Kennedy that the hearing should be before the City Council. The mation died for lack of a second. It was moved by Hoestere~, seconded by Kennedy, to have an Administrative hearing and also a Council hearing and to direct staff to proceed with implementing the procedures. Carried 4:0, Saltarelli absent. 53 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Page 9, 3-16-81 VI. OTHER BUSINESS 4. CENSUS TRACTS COTERMINOUS WITH CITY BOUNDARIES The Mayor Pro Tem reported that he had the opportunity to repre- sent the City at a Senate Committee meeting last week regarding reapportionment, and he urged the committee to have one (1) Senatorial District and one (1) Assembly District for Tustin instead of the three (3) that we presently have. He has had difficulty in reconciling the census counts with the city boundaries and population because the census tracts are not coterminous with the city boundaries. He recommended that a resolution be prepared which identifies the nature of the problem and recommends that the coterminous concept of census tracts and city boundaries be established and that this be sent to the Orange County League of Cities, the State League of Cities and the Federal Government to see if we can't make a more logical census reconciliation in the years to come. Council concurred. 33 VII. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Hoesterey, seconded by Kennedy, to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. to the next regular meeting on April 6, 1981. Carried.
