OTHERS: City Manager, City Attorney, Director of Public Works,
City Manager Pro Tempore, Police Chief
Extensive discussion held on the proposed construction of sidewalks
in areas adjacent to schools. The City Manager explored the
contents of numerous communications received pertaining to said
construction, explained costs, etc. It was the consensus that
the sidewalks should go to the existing property line, which
varies from 0 to 12 feet from the curb line. Discussion ensued on
the removal of shrubs, fences, sprinklers, any other substance which
may be in the parkway, and on the City Manager's recommendation
that the Post Office deliver mail to the door instead of curb boxes,
and utility pole relocations. It was noted that notices to the
property owners involved will go forward after October 19, 1965.
The Police Chief reported on the technical warrants and methods
of setting speed limits. He distributed booklets pertaining
thereto and suggested that the Chief of Police with the Director
of Public Works should be making an annual study of the speed
limits within the City, but that it takes time and manpower; that
such records would be most useful in Court appearances. With
particular reference to the area on W. Colorado Boulevard known
as the Y curve, he stated that he and the Director of Public
Works have endeavored to secure assistance from the State on the
existing curve construction, but to no avail. Speed and its
control on other streets was discussed as was the congested
traffic situations on Sundays at the various church locations.
The City Manager reported on reV1S10ns in procedures to eliminate
superfluous matter in an endeavor to reduce the time element in
Planning Commission matters; that he had requested the Planning
Department to prepare in chart form the procedures followed from
the beginning to the consummation of a matter before the Commission.
This was at the expressed desire of the City Council. Same will
be pursued and the possibility of a joint meeting with the
Commission to explore the matter further was foreseen.
The City Manager pro tempore advised that" the film strip was now
in final form and reservations for its showing were being received.
