licensing, it has to be such as we have in Ordinance NO. 786. The only
other alternative is to not have one at all.
Councilman Saltarelli said his preference was to not have one at all.
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, related that Chief Thayer felt that
the Ordinance was desirable.

OLD
BUSINESS 1. DIAL-A-RIDE
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, reported that a private company was
interested in the Dial A Ride Program and that Joseph Nardulli and Alexander
Carrassi, II were at the meeting to present their ideas.
Joseph Nardulli, 17822 17th St., Tustin, an attorney for Xenex Industries,
Inc., spoke and along with him was Alexander Carrassi, II, 17822 E. 17th St.,
Tustin, who represents Rockford Financial, which is a subsidiary corporation,
which deals in the financial advisement of the parent. His proposal involved
Xenex Industries, Inc. entering into an independent contract with the City of
Tustin to take over the Dial-A-Ride and fixed route bus system. Their pro-
jection was to operate a two van and one part time sedan system for both the
fixed route, and Dial-A-Bus system, in the vicinity of $58,000 a year. Their
proposal was to enter into discussions with the City of Tustin on the basis
of entering into a long term contract whereby they would contract to provide
services at that level for a subsidy of $12,000 a year with them bearing all
other expenses. Basically, they envision a long t~rm contract and the poten-
tiality of obtaining the transportation rights for/both buses and taxi cabs
in the City of Tustin.
Mayor Welsh felt the staff and City Attorney should evaluate their proposal
and asked if there was any urgency in buying a bus at this time.
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 4, 2-5-79
Dan Blankenship said that we have an opportunity tobuy the same bus that
we saw at the last meeting with the seating being modified to comply with
Council's concerns. If we do not purchase the bus now for $19,000, we run
the risk of paying $28,000 if this bus is sold to someone else. In talking
with the parties for Xenex Industries, they feel this vehicle would meet
their needs and they would purchase it from us if they took over Dial-A-Ride.
Councilmen Saltarelli and Schuster felt that the taxi cab rights and the
fixed bus route were different issues from the Dial-A-Ride.
Dan Blankenship said that this company was looking for a local cab service
but it would not exclude other cabs from bringing passengers into the City
or from coming into the City to pick up passengers if they were called.
It was the concensus of th~Council that we encourage communications with
this company.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Schuster, to buy the Dial-A-Ride bus
at $19,000, based on the City Council's concerns and to add a part-time driver
in a passenger vehicle or van to help at peak times.
Mayor Welsh commented that he had sent correspondence to Orange County Transit
District (OCTD) telling them of the success of our Dial-A-Ride program. He
suggested that they drop the funding of one of the cities whose program is not
nearly as successful as ours and put Tustin in its place. He asked that If
OCTD should do this, what happens then?
Dan Blankenship responded that the City Council would receive help in oper-
ating their program or it would have the opportunity to look at any OCTD
assistance and the proposal with the private company and decide which of the
two they felt best met the needs of the community. He would presume that
OCTD would allow us to be the operators of the bus.
After further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Schuster, to adjourn at 5:00 P.M. to
the 7:30 P.M. meeting. Carried unanimously.

A Resolution of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Tustin,
ACCEPTING WORKS OF IMPROVEMENT AND AUTHORIZING RECORDATION OF NOTICE OF
COMPLETION. (Newport Avenue Widening)
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy, to adopt Resolution No.
RDA 79-1 and authorize final 10% retention payment as recommended by City
Engineer. Carried unanimously.
5. RESOLUTION RDA 79-2
A Resolution of the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of

It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp, to adopt Resolution RDA 79-2
as recor~nended by City Engineer. Carried unanimously.
6. REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT STATUS REPORT
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp, to approve the revised budget
and authorize staff to negotiate consultant contracts on an as needed basis
to complete the engineering design work, so that all projects may be adver-
tised for bids prior to June 30, 1979.
Councilwoman Kennedy asked about the E1 Camino undergrounding project being
first on the priority list.
Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, responded that until So. Ca. Edison Co.
finishes the estimate and design work, we cannot proceed with this project.
Mayor Welsh asked Brian Chase to ask the Edison Company to give us a letter
indicating how things are progressing on the estimates and design work on
E1 Camino Real.
Richard Edgar, 13622 Loretta Drive, stated that the modified budget is
completely in accordance with the original intentions that were voiced. The
real priority that was established was that we do things underground before
we spend a lot of money on the surface. To extend the water main up E1
Camino would be doing precisely that and when the undergrounding is completed,
to put some good street widening, etc., would be an intelligent way to proceed.
Walter Flaherty, 661 W. 1st St., said that so the City Council would know if
the people on E1 Camino were in favor of this, he had passed out around 64
questionaires to see if the people were in favor of the undergrounding and
23 were in favor and 5 were not. He said that there was some apathy and
skepticism on the street and a fear of how much it would cost each one but
in essence, he felt that the street was very much in favor of it.
Mayor Welsh had had a very fruitful meeting with the E1 Camino Real repre-
sentatives and he recommended that wecontinue to have this kind of communi-
cation.
After further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

MEETING OF TUSTIN CITY COUNCIL
RECONVENED AT 7:55 P. M.
February 5, 1979
I.
PUBLIC
CONCERNS Helen Edgar, 13622 Loretta Drive, called attention to an article in the Los
Angeles Times on January 19, 1979 - "Warning Given to Insurance Rate Change."
She felt the Council should adopt a resolution against auto insurance rates
increasing. She had talked to her insurance company and to several other
parties who wished to remain anonymous and they said that rates would go up.
She said that Santa Aria and the League of Cities have adopted such resolutions.
Mayor Welsh responded that he had this on his list to bring up under OTHER
BUSINESS.
Margaret Byrd, 158 N. "B" St., asked if there was any way the Council could
control the parking of cars on the street overnight, especially the days that
the street sweeper cleans the streets.
Councilman Schuster suggested that a notice could be sent out informing the
residents that if they will cooperate and remove their cars from the street
when the street sweeper is to be in their neighborhood, it will not be nec- __
essary for the City to pass an ordinance forbidding overnight parking.
Mrs. Byrd suggested tagging cars with courtesy tags.
Mayor Welsh had two suggestions to Mr. Blankenship, City Administrator:
1. Notification to owners, perhaps in the Tustin Today, and 2. A rider to
accompany the sweeper and put courtesy tags on the cars that are parked on
the streets.
Richard B. Edgar, 13622 Loretta Dr., said that one of the items that the
Council did last year in the capital budget was the expenditure of approxi-
mately $50,000 to renovate a nu~nber of roads in the City. The choice of the
roads that were improved was done on a very analytical basis by a firm that
had been hired to do that. There is over $100,000 committed to improve roads
this fiscal year and he was curious what steps have been taken to choose what
roads should be improved this year.
Dale Wick, Assistant City Engineer, responded that the same firm has been
engaged and staff will have a report in two or three weeks.

ORDINANCES
FOR
ADOPTION 7. ORDINANCE NO. 786
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Tustin, ENDING THE
TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATIVE TO TRAFFIC REGULATIONS AND BICYCLE LICENSING
Chief Thayer gave a report that bicycle licensing does help tremendously in
recovering bicycles that are stolen. Many homeowners do not record their own
serial numbers and the only way they have to put a stolen bicycle into the
State wide computers is by registering the bicycles. Another good reason for
bicycle licensing is that usually bicycle riders, especially young children
and older people, do not carry any identification and in the case of a serious
accident, registration of the bicycle is the only way to identify the person,
and notify the relatives.
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Schuster, that Ordinance No. 786 have
second reading by title. Carried unanimously.
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 7, 2-5-79

III.
NEW
BUSINESS 1. REQUEST FOR SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION ALONG MAIN STREET
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Schuster, that this project be con-
sidered for inclusion into the 1979-80 Capital Improvement Budget. At the
time the 79-80 budget is reviewed, this project can be compared to other
capital projects and evaluated with respect to availability of funds.
Carried unanimously.
2. CONSULTANT SELECTION FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN - 17th St. at Yorba S~.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Kennedy, to authorize the firm of
VTN of Irvine to perform the engineering design services for the 17th St.
and Yorba St. traffic signal modifications and widening of the south side of
17th St. between Yorba St. (south) and the freeway off-ramp for the fee of
$6,193.00. Carried unanimously.
3. ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR RED HILL AND VALENCIA AVENUE TRAFFIC
SIGNAL RELOCATION
It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Schuster, to authorize an additional
appropriation in the amount of $6,600.00 for the improvement of the traffic
signal system at Red Hill and Valencia Avenues to provide for: 1. Replace-
ment and relocation of traffic signal standards at southwesterly and north-
easterly corners of the intersection; 2. Elimination of median mounted stan-
dards within intersection; 3. Illuminated street name and Air Base signing;
and 4. Upgrade intersection lighting, and for staff to proceed with these
improvements at the earliest practical date. Carried unanimously.
4. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION AGREEMENT
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Schuster, to approve by minute order
the amendment and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the amendment
agreement. Carried unanimously.
5. REQUEST FOR POSSIBLE CONVERSION OF TWO CETA MAINTENANCE MAN I POSITIONS
It was moved by Schuster, seconded by Saltarelli, to approve authorization of
two Maintenance Man I positions to replace two CETA positions if they become
vacant. Carried unanimously.
6. REQUEST TO FILL VACANCIES IN POLICE DEPARTMENT
It was moved by Sharp, seconded by Kennedy, to approve the request to fill
the vacancies of one Police Officer and one Records Clerk. Carried unanimously.
IV.
OTHER
BUSINESS DAN BLANKENSHIP, City Administrator
1. Council has been furnished with a report prepared by the Finance Director
of the budget for the first six months of this fiscal year, which is an ex-
cellent report and bright in its outlook.
2. Informational item regarding the Tustin Water Works. The Tustin Water
Works has received a letter from the State Health Department because approx-
imately five of their wells exceed the nitrate level that is authorized by
the State and they will be required to put notices in the paper and send out
notices to their water purchasers that they should not use the water for
babies under 6 months of age, who are particularly susceptible to high ni-
trate levels. They will probably have to buy more purchased water which does
not have the high nitrate content. The City will have to keep a check on
this. The Water Company will have to notify the residents every 60 to 90
days as long asthe situation exists. Charcoal, filtering or boiling the
water does not help the situation.
ATTORNEY ROURKE
1. Attorney Rourke requested that the Council authorize settlement of the
Workman's Compensation Claim of Officer Edward Vales for $6,000, of which
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 8, 2-5-79
the City will be reimbursed $1,200.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp, to authorize settlement of
the Workman's Compensation Claim of Officer Edward Vales in the amount of
$6,000.
Councilman Sharp asked if this was the last transaction with this person.
Attorney Rourke said not necessarily. This was the final settlement and
resolution under Workman's Compensation but he will probably seek retire-
ment benefits. "
Motion carried unanimously. ~
2. The Council had inquired at the last meeting whether they could appoint
some other people or what they could do relative to the governing body of
the Redevelopment Agency. The law on that is that the governing body can be
either the City Council or it can be a body composed completely of persons,
none of whom are officers or employees of the City. The source for this
information is the Community Redevelopment State Law.
COUNCILMAN SALTARELLI
Mr. Saltarelli was concerned about the atrocious mess that Mitchell Avenue,
between Browning and Red Hill, is in. It is falling apart, it isdelapidated,
there are chuck holes, the surface of the street is turned to rock and dust
and he felt we should get in touch with the County on an emergency basis s_bout
fixing this road. He felt we should perhaps notify those residents who were
in opposition to bringing that County island into the City and ask them to
use some of their influence with the County to fix the road.
It was the concensus of the Council that staff should correspond with the
County about this.
COUNCILWOMAN KENNEDY
1. Mrs. Kennedy asked about the possibility of providing in the Council
Chambers, smoking and non-smoking areas. She suggested that perhaps the
last couple of rows could be marked for smoking.
Councilman Saltarelli did not think it was a problem but if it was going to be
done, he suggested removing two center seats on each row and clearly marking
one side smoking and the other non-smoking.
It was the concensus of the Council that staff should look into the cost of
removing the two center seats and then work from there.
2. Mrs. Kennedy asked if staff had had any response from the owners of the
Stevens house about making the Stevens home a historical landmark.
Mr. Blankenship said that he believed that there was already action on the
County level that has it on a waiting list to be designated as a historical
landmark.
Don Biery, Parks and Recreation Director, said that there are five places,
including the Stevens house, that are on the County list and they will be
putting a plaque on them.
Mrs. Kennedy asked staff to call the County to see if we can get an approxi-
mate date when this will be done.
Mayor Welsh asked that staff follow through with the initial recommendation
of the Council of corresponding with the Stevens family regarding this matter.
Councilman Saltarelli said that he had talked to Mrs. Stevens a couple of weeks
ago and the property was not for sale.
3. Mrs. Kennedy said that she had received a few complaints about Dynachem
from the same people who had complained before.
COUNCIL MINUTES
Page 9, 2-5-79
MAYOR WELSH
1. Mr. Welsh asked that the Council pass a resolution opposing the legis-
lation of increasing auto insurance rates for the same reasons Mrs. Edgar
gave under Public Concerns. He also had contacted 4 agencies and they said
rates would go up.
It was the concensus of the Council that a resolution regarding this be
presented at the February 20th Council meeting, and that Council presently
go on record as opposing such legislation.
2. Mayor Welsh asked Council to concur that he should cast a vote against
the Metropolitan School Desegregation Plan at the League of Cities meeting.
Council concurred.
3. Mr. Welsh asked Council to concur with the withdrawal from Cal Trans
District 7 which would mean that the County of Orange would receive a tre-
mendous amount of funds that we are not presently receiving. Council con-
curred that he should cast such a vote at the League of Cities meeting.
4. Mr. Welsh had correspondence from Mrs. Davis and he referred this to
staff for response.
5. Mayor Welsh asked that the Council go on record ~n support of the
concept of a regional park at Peters Lake Canyon. Council concurred.
6. Mayor Welsh asked that the Council concur with the introduction at the
February 20th meeting of a resolution expressing its support of the efforts
of the California Mosquito and Vector Control Association and the Orange
County Vector Control District in acquiring State subvention monies from
the State Legislature. Council concurred.
7. Mr. Welsh requested Council's approval on a joint study with the
Chamber of Commerce to develop a check off list for new businesses so that
they would know just what is required of them in order to operate in the
City of Tustin. Council concurred that staff should communicate with the
Chamber of Commerce to develop such a list.
8. Previously, Council has had before it problems on McFadden Street be-
tween Newport Avenue and the Freeway. Residents have problems of trying
to get out of the tract of homes this side of Pasadena and between Pasadena
and Newport. He suggested that there be no parking between Newport and
Pasadena on the side of the homes. There is a block wall there and would
allow a left turn aisle. This would perhaps also allow a southbound Newport
Avenue right turn onto MCFadden by eliminating the parking there. Also it
would allow a right and left turn into Myrtle. Council concurred that this
be agendized for a future meeting.
9. Mr. Welsh had a request for a traffic signal at Cherrywood and Walnut
and he was referring this to the Peppertree and Laurelwood Homeowner's
Associations for their combined opinion on this.
V.
