On November 28th, she detected a scent in the air at the corner of ~ and Newport Fwy.; on Dec. 7th, 2 complaints were phoned to her; and on January 18 and 19, she received 4 more complaints by phone and 2 in person. Of these, 6 were of a pung. ent sweet smell that caused a stinging eye and headache, and one said it smelled like broccoli. She was concerned that we had not heard the end of this odor problem. TRAFFIC LIGHT AT REDHILL AND SYCAMORE Councilman Saltarelli reported that he had had a lot of complaints about the traffic light at Redhill and Sycamore because there was so little time on Sycamore. He asked if it is now a timed intersection. Bob Ledendecker, City Engineer, clarified that the operation of the signal is such that the long time is given to Redhill traffic. Each leg of Redhill north and south at approximately 400 ft. up the road has detectors and if a car keeps tripping it, it will continue to hold for 2 minutes. If no car trips it, it will change in about 45 seconds. Staff is in the process of looking at that particular intersection to see what modifications can be made. CENTENNIAL PARK AND BRIARCLIFF Councilman Saltarelli advised that Briarcliff is still being used as a parking lot for Centennial Park and the residents are still quite upset about it. All weekend and weekday afternoons the residents are not able to park on the street. The park situation is a lot better than it has been. It was moved by Kennedy, seconded by Schuster, to adjourn at 9:42 P.M. to an Executive Session and thence to the next regular meeting on February 4, 1980. Carried. MAYOR CITY CLERK
