AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Gilb, Parry, Pellegrino, Margett None Councilman Saelid On June 27 the City Council held a public hearing relating to traffic problems in the Santa Anita Oaks Area and directed the Department of Public Works to proceed with installation of temporary islands in accordance with plans prepared by the Engineering Division, Council received for review the Engineer's report compiled six weeks after temporary closure, an area map with updated traffic volumes, tabula- tion of traffic volumes before and after installation of barricades, copies of barricade plans previously approved by the City Council and a copy of a letter from the Homeowner's Association requesting post- ponement of this scheduled hearing, Costs for installing barricades at San Carlos and Oak Meadow was $1,886.33; repair of vandalized signs in August $320.76 and cleanup and repair of damaged signs in October $60.91. It was also noted that traffic counter equipment had also been tampered with and on one occasion damaged. With reference to traffic counts it was submitted that the last count indicated a significant reduction on San Carlos, Oak Meadow and Arbolada from traffic volumes prior to barricading. It was also estimated that should Council deem it necessary to install traffic control measures the cost would be for three temporary type- installations $3,500 to $4,000 and if permanent installation with land- scaping, automatic sprinklers, etc. the cost would probably be $60,000, Mayor Margett declared the hearing open and the following persons sub- mitted their views on the continuation of the barricades and the com- pletion of the plan.

Lauber, 1225 Oaklawn Road No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by Councilman Gilb, seconded by Councilman Pellegrino and carried unani- mously, During the ensuing discussion the Chief of Police submitted what has transpired since the barricades were installed; that a lot of citations were issued and that it is impossible to have his officers at each intersection in the area - not only because of the cost but the entire city has to be covered. Councilman Gilb stated in part that it is evident there is a problem on San Carlos and explored some of the endeavors made in the design of the barricades; that in his opinion to barricade Arbolada would only double the traffic on San Carlos, He was not in favor of installing additional barricades at this time. He was concerned with Oak Meadow Road and what the residents really want. Councilman Pellegrino was opposed to all barricades and that to him the answer is more traffic control in the area and he could not see the expenditure of installation and maintenance for just one area of the City, Councilman Parry thought the barricades have solved some of the problems of a very difficult situation. He could not support installing addition- al barricades at this time but would favor continuing the existing ones and then study it to see if there is another solution. Mayor Margett stated in part that he felt that most of the traffic is generated by those living in the area and questioned whether the expendi- ture which has been referred to would pass the test of the electorate. He though it would not - as every taxpayer has an interest in street improvements. He favored continuing the barricades on San Carlos. Whereupon Councilman Gilb MOVED to not proceed with the installaion of barricades at Arbolada, Rancho Road and Rodeo Road. Councilman Parry seconded the motion which was carried on the following roll call vote. AYES NOES ABSENT: Councilmen Gilb, Parry, Pellegrino, Margett None Councilman Saelid Discussion held on the design of the barricades and staff will bring back some alternatives and costs. Staff will also make a survey of the residents on Oak Meadow as to whether or not they want the barricade removed regardless of what happens on San Carlos and also how can the driveway situation at 1445 Oak Meadow be resolved.
