B. Outstanding Issues

Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, r
expenditures Council could use in making
list for street signals. Currently, the
number one priority as Tank Farm /Higuera
hope to find an-additional $70,000 to do
Drive and Foothill Blvd. Illustrated as
aviewed possible resources and
a determination of the priority
Council had indicated.the
traffic signal and they would
a second signal at Patricia. .
follows:
Resources Expenditures
80,000 CIP 3 signals @ $70,000 = .$210,000
20,000 Tank-Farm need $97,500
12,500 Calle Joaquin 2 signals.@ $75,000 = ..$150,000
$112,500 need $37,500 or $57,500 depend-
ing on the combination of
signals.
Councilman Settle stated that he would prefer to.change the.priority
leaving Tank Farm as number one, moving priority three to number two,
that of Madonna Road / Calle Joaquin. He felt the safety factor warranted
the Madonna Road signal over that of Patricia Drive.
Paul Lanspery suggested that $25,000 could be taken from Revenue Sharing,
presently in contingencies for the traffic signals.
Councilman Griffin preferred the priority with Tank Farm first, Patricia
Drive second and Madonna Road / Calle Joaquin third.
Councilman Dunin agreed with Councilman Settle, viewing that the traffic
at the Calle Joaquin /Madonna Road was critical.
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, reminded the Council that the priority
for the Patricia Drive signal came as a result of a petition circulated
by the Patricia Drive neighborhood who were concerned with school
children traversing Foothill Blvd.
Councilwoman Dovey'suggesfed that Calle'Joaquin and Madonna Road and the
Patricia Drive with the'Tank Farm as number three.
After discussion, and upon general consensus, staff was directed to go
out to bid for all three signals and prepare specs so that the award of
the third signal would not be mandatory with the priority list as
follows: 1) Patricia Drive /Foothill; 2) Madonna Road / Calle Joaquin; and
3) Tank Farm /Higuera Street. Council agreed to transfer $25,000 from
Revenue Sharing (budget contingencies) to traffic signals, provided that
the bed tax measure is approved by the voters in November. (5 =0)
2. EMT II Funding
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, explained that the City had appropriated
$8,000 under Non - Departmental Budget to cover the City's contribution to
the EMS agency, to be encumbered and carried forward to the 1982 -83
budget. In the 82 -83 preliminary budget there was an additional $8,000
proposed under Non - Departmental Budget to continue participation in the
regional EMS agency. Those funds are to be used for tuition payments
and overtime expenses for firefighters attending EMT II training. The
equipment requirements for start up of the EMT II program are estimated
at $10,885. He would recommend the Fire Department's budget be augmented
under Fire Emergency Response for an amount of $10,900.
Councilman Griffin was concerned that although the funding had been
determined for this year for the initial start up, staff keep a.check
list or determine a mechanism to highlight key points that might arise
that should come back to the Council prior to implementation.

Councilman Dunin agreed. He felt that the Council should be made aware
of any unanticipated problems the Fire Department might be faced with.
Mayor Billig also suggested that should funding for the EMT program
become scarce or the participation from other agencies reduced, that
future funding determination for the EMT II program be placed before the
voters. Staff was also urged to consider user charges as part of the
implementation program. (5 -0)
C. New Budget Request
1. Parking Meter Collection Equipment
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, stated he had received a request from
Dennis Cox, the Safety Coordinator, for the recommendation to purchase
new equipment designed for the collection of meter coins. He stated the
equipment currently being used was over ten years old and was obsolete.
He would recommend that the 1982 -83 budget be increased by $2,800 to
cover the cost of the new equipment.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Griffin, to
approve $2,800 for the parking meter collection equipment request in the
1982 -83 budget. (5 -0)
D. Discussion of Parking Lot on Monterey & Broad Streets
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, suggested the Council jointly participate
with Mr. Spradlin for a proposed parking lot improvement at the corner
of Monterey and Broad Streets, which would allow 20 parking spaces, 7 to
be owned by Mr. Spradlin. The cost to construct the lot was estimated
at $13,500. Landscaping and a sign would cost $7,000 and Mission style
sidewalk constructed across both frontages of the city owned property
was estimated at $20,000. The total project cost was estimated to be
$40,500. He stated that since Mr. Spradlin would have 7 spaces he would
suggest Mr. Spradlin's participation be 35% of the cost of the project,
not include the Mission style sidewalk which has already been constructed
across the front of the Spradlin property.
After brief discussion, and upon general consensus, it was moved by
Councilman Dunin, and seconded by Councilman Griffin, to approve joint
City /Property Owner parking lot project for 20 spaces. The lot construc-
tion and landscaping to come from Parking Facilities, City's share to be
$13,400. The Mission style sidewalk to come from the Mission Plaza fund,
City's share $10,000 previously budgeted and construction to be only on
the Broad Street frontage of City property. Motion carried, (5 -0)
E. City Hall Entrance Remodeling
Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, explained that to remodel the
entrance of City Hall he has estimate and preliminary plans for $125,000.
He questioned that the Council was interested in pursuing this.
After brief discussion, and upon general consensus, Council agreed that
no major remodeling be done at this time but that staff simply be
directed to maintain an adequate job of pruning, planting.annuals and
those types of beautification not requiring major costs.
There being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor
Billig adjourned the meeting at 1:20 p.m. to Tuesday, June 29, 1982 at
