Boulevard and Monterey Street. The street width at this location is
wider than some of the other intersections which have been dhannelized
successfully, and it is recommended that the Council authorize an
installation in accordance with the attached sketch."
The City Council discussed the markings suggested at Santa Rosa and
Monterey Streets and also the timing of the signals presently installed
on Santa-Rosa at Monterey, Higuera and Marsh. The City Council
discussed the matter of -this timing which is causing a delay in traffic
movement due to the erratic signal changing at these 3 intersections.
City Engineer Romero pointed out that due to the spacing-of the streets
it was not possible to time the signals so as to permit free flow in
' both directions; however, if the Council wished, the Santa Rosa signals
could be set to favor one direction at the expense of the other.

which had been approved by the City Council in prior years and, in the.current
year's budget; further, that under the Charter of the City of San Luis

Police and Fire Departments as is being done in many communities and would
make better use of personnel who do not seem to be too busy at this time.

promotion be denied until the City Council has had an opportunity to
study the Fire Department organization.and appoint a Council Committee ,
