VI SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
A. Traffic Circulation report, Holly Avenue at California, Kansas
and Washington Streets
Director of Public Works Glickman stated that a notice had been
distributed to residents and companies in subject area inviting them
to'attend tonight's meeting. Related the history of traffic problems
resulting in barricades being erected as a temporary measure to give
time to study the problems further. Advised that the Traffic engineer
Mr. George Villegas had prepared a report and asked that he review his
findings for the Council.
Mr-George Villegas, Traffic Consultant, discussed the study and four
different mitigating measures that might be taken. Stated his recom-
mendation was that the Channelization System, Alternate No. 4, would
meet the needs better than the other three solutions.
Director of Public Works responded to Council's inquiries about
the improvement of Washington Street; that it may now be possible
for the property to be dedicated and the street could then be
made surface acceptable, not necessarily up to the full standards
of other streets with proper curbs, sidewalks, etc., but a travel -
able street nevertheless. He questioned whether it was the
desire of the Council to have the street dedicated which would
mean City maintenance of the street.
Mayor Bue stated that if Council decides to adopt the Circulation
Plan recommended by staff, then takes proper steps to address
street dedication, that this would be the appropriate action to
take.
The Mayor asked if anyone present wished to speak regarding this
matter.
Mr. Paul Peterson, 411 California Street, asked what a Channeliza-
tion System was and how would it prevent industrial traffic from
using residential streets. Stated it looked like more traffic would
be diverted to California Street, and he was sure there was a better
solution.
Mr-Glickman responded to Mr. Peterson's inquiries.
Mrs. Stephanie Young 525 Washington Street, asked what the other
alternatives were.
Mr. Glickman responded and explained that Alternate Plan No. 4 was
experimental, it appeared workable and could be changed easily if
better plans resulted from the trial.
Mr. Steve Leroy, 441 Kansas Street, stated he reviewed the alterna-
tives and agreed that No. 4 would be the best solution to the
problems.
Mr. Paul Peterson clarified his previous remarks; that after review-
ing the map, wished to rescind his objections to Alternate Plan No. 4
There being no further response, motion was made by Councilman
Johnson, seconded by Councilman Armstrong, that the recommendation of
staff to implement Alternate No. 4 to alter traffic patterns in the
area of Holly Avenue at California, Kansas and Washington Streets, be
approved. Motion carried.
Mr-Glickman explained that the letter received from International
Rectifier, stating the Police and Fire Departments were not in favor -
of Alternate Plan No. 4 had been clarified by the company, that
reference was to the barricades rather than Plan No. 4 and that the
Police and Fire Department were in concurrence with staff's
recommendations.
Thereafter, the Mayor order that the International Rectifier letter
be received and filed.
B. Request to exempt improvements at 500 N. Nash Street from
moratorium restrictions
Planning Director Romaniello reported that subject project was exempt
from California Environmental Quality Act regulations, it meets park-
ing requirements and was in full compliance with the Municipal Code
before the recent changes. Stated that staff had no serious concerns
regarding the proposal, however, the Planning Commission had recom-
mended that no additional exemptions be granted without prior Plann-
ing Commission review; that all exemptions be made to conform with
the new zone standards; and that this request for expansion be denied
on the basis that it was not in compliance with Code Section 20.70.100

Council Minutes
December 2 1 , 1982
City Manager Jones reported that SB 9X was being considered in
Special Session of the legislature to modify financing the State
now provides to cities to relieve the State budget crisis. Stated
that SB 9X would remove some subventions currently coming to the
cities, E1 Segundo's portion being $73,700 foi this current
fiscal year. Advised that over the past two years, the State had
removed subventions totaling $151,550 on an annualized basis from
E1 Segundo. Advised he had conferred with Senator Beverly's
assistant in Sacramento and was informed that the senator voted
against the bill; that the bill was on the Senate floor for
adoption now and that he believed the bill would be modified, and
if so, it would mean that E1 Segundo may lose only $12,000
additional funds rather than $73,700, and it is even possible E1
Segundo would not lose any more subvention money.
Council asked that a letter be sent to Senator Beverly
reiterating the City's position and thanking him for his support
of the City's stand.
