Report of the Traffic Committee on the following:
56 -4 -1C. In regard to the request o.f Mrs. Roy Metz for reconsideration of the stop sign
on the northeast corner of Rougeot at Mr. Pleasanton , the Committee recommends that this
sign be left in to make the pattern uniform on Chorro and Mt. Pleasanton. On the matter
of slowing down traffic on these streets, the Committee realizes the importance of ad-
ditional enforcement, and the police department is taking steps to accomplish this. We
are also installing twenty -five mile markings on the pavement on both sides of the Mt.
Pleasanton Hill and a twenty -five mile per. hour signpost fbr north bound . traffic on the
south side of the hill.
56 -4 -2C. In regard to the recommendation of the Planning Commission for a fence, hedge,
and screen planting restriction to provide better site distance at city intersections,.the
committee would be very much in favor of this recommendation from a traffic - safety stand-
point. There is one point we are not clear on however: The proposed amendment does not
cover the matter of retroactive enforcement, and we are not sure of the possiblities from
a legal standpoint and suggest that this be taken up with the city attorney. The recom-
mendation of the Traffic Committee was referred to the city attorney for study.
56 -4 -3T. The attached letter from Young's Beauty Shop was sent to the City some time ago
and complain about the fact that the beauty operators have to feed the .meters and /or move
cars on appointments which last more than an hour. This has been worked out by Chief
Schofield and the beauty operators seem to be satisfied. The Chief has suggested that cli
park in the municipal parking lot no. 2 where there is no time limit enforcement. At pre-
sent, a dime will provide two hours of parking - report of traffic committee was ordered
received and filed.
Comm. from the Paramount Pest Control Service requesting that the Council require pest con-
trol operators to carry adequate public liability insurance was ordered held over.
