CITY CODE RELATIVE TO TRAFFIC REGULATIONS AND BICYCLE LICENSING.
Mr. Sharp said that due to Proposition 13, the Municipal Courts were
increasing the fines for traffic and parking violations and were
setting a large fine for riding bicycles on the sidewalk. He felt
we should find out more on this subject and consider how the public
will react to these increased fines before we adopt this Ordinance.
Mr. Saltarelli had questions regarding Section 32 of the Ordinance
and why skate boards are allowed on the sidewalk when bicycles are not.
Mr. Welsh had questiohs about the following sections: Section 3 gives
the mayor too much authority; Section 4 not allowing anyone but Police
and Fire personnel to direct traffic in an emergency; Section 8 gives
too much authority to City Traffic Engineer; Section 15 may be too
restrictive; and, Section 21 should be omitted.
It was moved by Welsh, seconded by Saltarelli, that this Ordinance be
continued until a later date when the concerns of the Council can be
addressed. Carried unanimously.

OTHER
BUSINESS CITY ADMINISTRATOR:
Dan Blankenship said that as a result of the island annexations, the
County has requested that the Council take formal action on the question
of bonded indebtedness of the islands and they would like a Minute Order
that could be reported to them as to whether the islands will or will
not be subject to the bonded indebtedness of the City. The Council had
previously indicated that they would waive the bonded indebtedness for
those islands but have not taken any formal action.
It was moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp, that the island annexations
that come into the City under the MORGA Act be specifically exempted from
the provisions of bonded indebtedness.
Mr. Sharp questioned the reasoning for this exemption.
Council Minutes
9-5-78, Page 4
Mr~ Saltarelli explained-that the reasons were: ~1~ These County
residents had been assured there would be no increase in their taxes,
and 2. SinCe they did not have a vote on the bond issues, they should
not be taxed for them.
Mr. Chase stated that the new office buildings and other commercial
buildings that are already being proposed as a result of these annex-
ations will generate much more revenue for the City than this exemption
will cost the City.
Motion carried unanimously.
CITY ATTORNEY: None
COUNCILMEN:
Mr. Saltarelli was concerned about the Nisson sidewalk report. He
felt that this matter should be agendized for a regular meeting.
This matter to be discussed at the 7:30 P.M. meeting.

Hartmans. He felt the Council had been cooperative and if the law
is good, it is good for everyone.

dents. They both spoke in favor of keeping the Tustin City Bus.

3. ,. Noise Attenuation for Single Family Residences Along the Freeway
Richard B. Edgar, 13622 Loretta Dr., was concerned about the incon-
sistency of noise attenuation of single family residences along the
freeway. He stated that the two story homes along the freeway north
of Santa Clara Street have no windows for the second story while the
homes along the freeway north of 17th Street have many windows for
the second story.
Mr. Chase responded that the developer had the option of either no
windows or doubled glas'ed windows wi~hadditional insulation ~or
the second story. Staff further elaborated on building requirements.
II.
OLD BUSINESS 1. MASTER PLAN OF COLUMBUS TUSTIN PARK
Dan Blankenship presented the staff report. He asked for direction
from the Council as to acceptability of concept presented, continuance
in drawing up plans and moving ahead with the recreational building.
Mr. Saltarelli felt that since 85% of the people around the park are
County residents, we should look into having the County develop the
park.
Mr. Sharp said that since this park could be mutually beneficial to
the City of Tustin, the County and the School District, perhaps it
should be some sort of joint venture.
Mr. Welsh agreed that the different agencies should cooperate.
Public Hearing was opened at 8:43 P.M.
Richard B. Edgar said that we asked for and got matching County
Revenue Sharing money to acquire a good deal of the land in this
park and also the County permitted us to take the total population,
rather than just the City population, to get the State mandated
park money.
Council Minutes
9/5/78, page 7
Mr. Blankenship informed the Council that the State has caused some
delay in the City receiving some of the money. The County gave
$100,000 (matching~basis) for land, some of which has not been
received yet. The County has $70,000 which may be allocated to us
but which is still in budget discussions.
J. Bart Duescer, 14072 Dall, a County resident who was against annexing
to the City, spoke in favor of the park in the north part of Tustin,
alleging that all of the parks go to the south part of Tustin. He
said that if the City would present them with a park, they probably
would annex to the City.
After further discussion, it was moved by Welsh, seconded by Saltarelli,
that the City should communicate with the Orange County Board of Super-
visors and the Tustin School Board for the purpose of joining with us
in developing a Master Plan Of long term recreation development and a
report to be given back to the Council by November 6, 1978. Carried
unanimously.
