[ CONSENT CALENDAR: Senate Bill 1439 (“SB 1439”) amended Government Code Section 84308 to expand the regulation of campaign contributions in excess of $250 from donors involved in certain matters before the legislative body. If the donor has a matter pending before the agency, and the official received a campaign contribution from the donor in excess of $250 in the prior 12 months, the official must publicly disclose the contribution and cannot in any way participate in the decision of the matter. The donor also has a duty to disclose the contribution on the record. In the 12 months following the decision, a local official cannot receive campaign contributions in excess of $250 from a donor with an economic interest in the governmental decision. Public officials are encouraged to closely track all campaign contributions which collectively exceed $250 in any 12-month period from any single source.

MR. MAYOR.

UM, SO WE'RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THAT, UM, VERY LONG PROJECT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

ITEM NUMBER ONE IS TITLED RECEIVE AND FILE A REVIEW OF THE CITY'S INITIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, NTMP RESULTS AND CONSIDER PROPOSED PROGRAM UPDATES.

STAFF REPORT, PLEASE.

YOU, MIKE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OH, THIS IS MY, SORRY ABOUT THAT, ALBERT.

GOOD EVENING MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

MY NAME IS ALBERT MENDO.

I'M THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ALSO THE CITY ENGINEER.

UH, TONIGHT FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE CITY'S INITIAL NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM RESULTS AND CONSIDERED PROPOSED PROGRAM UPDATES.

SO THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM, WHICH INITIATED BACK IN 2006.

UH, IT WAS FORMALLY ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, AS THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS, IT'S A CITYWIDE INITIATIVE THAT OUTLINES THE PROCESS WHERE RESIDENTS COULD REQUEST THEIR, THEIR, THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS BE EVALUATED FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY RELATED ISSUES, SUCH AS SPEEDING AND CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

IN ADDITION, UH, THIS PROGRAM ALLOWED RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A PROCESS TO CONSIDER AND REQUEST CERTAIN TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLS AND MECHANISMS SUCH AS SIGNAGE, SIGNAGE, SPEED LUMPS, AND OTHER STRIPING MARKINGS.

AND 2009, THERE WAS, UH, TWO PROJECTS THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED AS A PILOT PROGRAM, UH, LA HAVA EAST AND THE COSTCO NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH I WOULD ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE DOWN THE PRESENTATION.

UH, IN TWO, 2011, THERE WAS A PRIORITY LIST THAT WAS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL CONSISTING OF 15 NEIGHBORHOODS, NEIGHBORHOODS EIGHT THROUGH THROUGH O.

IN 2015, NEIGHBORHOODS G AND H RECEIVED IMPLEMENTATION NEIGHBORHOODS BD AND O RECEIVED IMPLEMENTATION 2016 FOLLOWED BY 2017, 2022.

THERE WERE NINE PROGRAMS THAT WERE EITHER INITIATED OR IMPLEMENTED.

UH, IN 2022, THERE WAS A PRIORITY LIST THAT WAS PREPARED AND DEVELOPED.

UH, IN 2023 NEIGHBORHOODS, KMJF AND EAC, UH, WERE IMPLEMENTED.

AND, UH, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, A YEAR LATER, WE, UH, CAME TO COUNCIL WITH A NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.

SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THE INITIAL PROGRAM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED BACK IN 2006, 2006, AND WHAT WAS, UH, DRIVEN AND WHAT WERE THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THIS PROGRAM? THE, THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THIS PROGRAM WAS TO REDUCE SPEED AND CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC VOLUMES, ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT, IMPROVE DRIVER BEHAVIOR, AND ALSO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLISTS SAFETY.

ALL THESE THAT COULDN'T DONE WITHOUT IT.

FOUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES, EDUCATION, ENFORCEMENT, EVALUATION AND ENGINEERING, OR ALSO CALLED THE FOUR EAST.

SO THIS IS THE PILOT PROGRAM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED ON LAHABRA EAST.

UH, IT WAS, UH, BOUND BY LAHA BOULEVARD, HARBOR BOULEVARD, THE NORTH CITY LIMIT, AND THE EAST CITY LIMIT.

THE TR TRAFFIC HAULING DEVICES THAT WERE INSTALLED.

SO, BACK ONE SLIDE.

I THINK YOU SKIPPED IT.

[00:10:02]

UM, SO LA HARBOR EAST THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, IT'S, UH, BOUNDED BY LA HARBOR BOULEVARD, HARBOR BOULEVARD, THE NORTH CITY LIMIT, AND THE EAST CITY LIMIT.

SOME OF THE, THE TRAFFIC CALMING ELEMENTS THAT WERE INSTALLED WERE SPEED LUMPS, TRAFFIC, CALM AREA SIGNS, TERM RESTRICTED SIGNS, AND ALSO A MEDIAN ISLAND.

THE COSTCO NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO RECEIVED SPEED LUMPS, TRAFFIC HALL AREA SIGNS, RESTRICTED SIGNS IN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE FROM THE PRIOR LIST OF 20 PRIORITY LIST OF 2011.

THIS ISN'T, SO YOU GUYS CAN HAVE A REFERENCE OF, MORE OR LESS WHERE THESE NEIGHBORHOODS WERE IN, IN RELATIVE TO, TO CITYWIDE, UH, PROGRAM THE PROCESS.

SO THIS IS A CURRENT PROCESS THAT WE HAVE.

UH, I'LL PROVIDE A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW.

UH, WE START BY REACHING OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS BASED ON THE PRIORITY LIST.

UH, THE GOAL IS TO EXPLAIN TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAM AND FORM A NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC COMMITTEE, WHICH, UH, IT, IT REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF, OF 10 MEMBERS.

THESE MEMBERS WILL REPRESENT THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD PER SE, AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO TAKE THE HEAVY LIFTING AND CANVAS THE, THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE VOTING THAT THEY WILL LIKE SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT THESE TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES, WHICH WAS NOT ALWAYS, UH, SUCCESSFUL.

AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT LATER, UH, DOWN THE PRESENTATION, UM, THAT IT'S FOLLOWED BY THREE, THREE MEETINGS.

UH, THEN THE GOAL IS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN, CHOOSE FROM A TOOLBOX OF HOW, HOW THEY WANNA CALM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, AND THEN MAKE A DECISION.

ONCE A DECISION IS MADE, WE COME ONE FINAL MEETING AND WE GET A, EITHER A CONSENSUS OR A, OR IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER, UH, ISSUES OR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ELEMENTS THAT THEY WANNA, UH, IMPLEMENT, THEN IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE SPEAK NOW FOREVER, HURRY YOUR PIECE.

UH, IF THERE, THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THAT, THEN COUNT, UH, STAFF WILL THEN SEND OUT A BALLOT TO ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS SO THEY CAN, UH, GET THEIR OPINION.

AND, UH, THE REQUIREMENT TO PROCEED WITH IMPLEMENTATION IS WE NEED TO GET A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE BALLOTS.

UH, AND THEN WITHIN THIS 50%, 67% OF THE, THE, THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO APPROVE THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

SHOULD IT BE, BE IMPLEMENTED THEN? I'M SORRY, ALBERT, WHAT PERCENTAGE? 50%.

OF ALL THE SUR YOU KNOW, FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS HAVE TO SUBMIT A SURVEY, WHETHER IT'S A YES OR NO, THEN IT IS, IS IT A SIMPLE MAJORITY AFTER IT'S, YES.

WELL, NO, LEMME TAKE THAT BACK.

SO, IF, IF, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE SEND OUT A HUNDRED BALLOTS IN ORDER TO CONSIDER IT, WE NEED TO GET A MINIMUM OF 50 BALLOTS, RIGHT? OUT OF THOSE 50 BALLOTS, 67% HAVE TO SAY YES, 67%, 67%, WHICH IS THE MAJORITY, TWO THIRDS.

ONCE WE GET THE MAJORITY STAFF WILL, UH, TAKE, TAKE IT TO COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION APPROVAL, COUNCIL APPROVES IT, THEN WE GO AHEAD, PUT THE PROJECT OUT TO BID, CONSTRUCT AND IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT NUMBER? 67% OUTTA CURIOSITY THAT THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WAS DEVELOPED BACK IN 2016.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT HOW DID, WHAT'S THE BACKGROUND OF COMING UP WITH THAT NUMBER? CAN YOU, YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY STANDARD TO MAKE, UH, THE MAJORITY TO BE 67%.

MOST CITIES DO THAT.

OR WHERE IS IT THE POLICE RECOMMENDATION? WHERE, WHERE, ACTUALLY I CAN SPEAK TO THAT.

'CAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN COUNCIL DELIBERATED THIS, UM, THE CITY COUNCIL BACK THEN WAS VERY, UH, FOCUSED ON HAVING THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS, THE VA, THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS, SUPPORTIVE OF A PLAN.

'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT RESIDENTS TO NOT SUPPORT IT, OR NOT ENOUGH RESIDENTS TO SUPPORT IT.

'CAUSE THE FEAR WAS IF IT WAS 50% PLUS ONE RESIDENT SAYS YES, THAT MEANS ALMOST HALF DON'T WANT IT.

SO COUNCIL SAID, LISTEN, IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS TO DO THIS, WE HAVE TO AT LEAST GET HALF THE BALLOTS BACK.

AND OF THOSE HALF, AT LEAST TWO THIRDS HAVE TO APPROVE, OR WE'RE NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PLAN.

SUPER MAJORITY.

BUT IT WAS A VERY HIGH BAR AND IT CREATED A LOT OF ISSUES, AS ALBERT WILL TALK ABOUT WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO GET EVEN A PLAN ADOPTED OR APPROVED TO SEND TO COUNCIL.

AND, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.

ONE HAD SPEED TABLES, RACE CROSSWALKS, TRAFFIC HOME AREA RESTRICTED SIGNS, FLASHING BEACONS, SPOT THOUGHTS AND RADAR SPEED BACK SIGNS, NEIGHBORHOOD D UH, IT SPEED, YOU KNOW, YOUR, YOUR TYPICAL SPEED LUMPS.

THANK, THANK YOU, JIM.

UH, AND THIS IS, UH, THE NEXT FEW SLIDES THERE.

THEY'RE GONNA BE, UH, A REPRESENTATION OF ALL THE TRAFFIC, UH, ELEMENTS THAT WE INSTALLED IN ALL THE NEIGHBORHOODS, STARTING WITH NEIGHBORHOOD G UH, SPEED, LUMPS, UH, TRAFFIC, ALL AREA SIGNS, SPEED SIGNS, NEIGHBORHOOD H WHICH IS ALSO IMPLEMENTED, 2015 SPEED LUMPS SIGNS, TERM RESTRICTED SIGNS.

UH, NEIGHBORHOOD I, UH, WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT DID NOT GET APPROVED.

NEIGHBORHOOD B UH, THIS ONE ACTUALLY HAD QUITE A LOT.

UH, THIS

[00:15:01]

SIGNS, UH, THIS ONE HAS A FLASHING BEACON, SOME WARNING SIGNS.

NEIGHBORHOOD O UH, JUST THREE SPEED LUMPS AND A FEW SIGNS.

NEIGHBORHOOD.

K, UH, SPEED LUMPS, SPEED, UH, FEEDBACK SIGNS.

NEIGHBORHOOD L IS ONE OF THOSE THAT, UH, DID NOT GET ANYTHING.

IT WAS ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT DID NOT APPROVE A PLAN.

NEIGHBORHOOD M UH, AGAINST SPEED LUMPS, UH, STRIPE CROSSWALKS, UH, FLASHING STOP SIGNS.

NEIGHBORHOOD J UH, LET'S SEE.

PRETTY TYPICAL, UH, SAME ELEMENTS.

UH, HERE WE HAD SOME RED, RED CURVE AND MORE, UH, MORE BOTS, THE BOT DOTS.

NEIGHBORHOOD F UH, NOTHING THAT CAN, EH, PRETTY MUCH SAME ELEMENTS, SAME TREATMENT.

NEIGHBORHOOD N AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST DID NOT AGREE ON A PLAN OR DID NOT A PLAN IN ANY, UH, ELEMENTS OR DID NOT GET THE, THE, THE VOTES FOR TO PROCEED, UH, WITH, WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION.

UH, OKAY.

SO HERE'S A SUMMARY OF ALL THE TRAFFIC CALMING AND DEVICES THAT WERE INSTALLED, UH, FOR THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.

UH, IT WAS 134 SPEED LUMPS, FIVE SPEED TABLES, ONE RACE CROSSWALK, 97 TRAFFIC HOME AREA SIGNS, UH, 21 RESTRICTED, RESTRICT, TURN RESTRICTED SIGNS, A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, TWO RACE MEDIANS, 3 25 MILE PER HOUR SPEED SIGN LIMITS, FOUR FLASHING BEACONS, RADAR SPEED, BACK SIGNS 11 AND 14 FLASHING STOP SIGNS, UH, IN TOTALED, UH, CITY SPAN, 1.1 MILLION, UH, WITH AN AVERAGE COST ABOUT $70,324.

JUST, UH, AN ILLUSTRATION OF ALL THE ELEMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN DIS, UH, THAT I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING.

A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, UM, A SPEED LUMP, UH, RADAR FEEDBACK FEED, FEEDBACK SIGN, RACE MEDIANS, UH, TRAFFIC ER SIGNS, AND FLASHING STOP SIGNS.

NTMP LESSONS LEARNED.

SO AFTER, AFTER WE COMPLETED THE PROJECT, WE DID AN AFTER STUDY AND, UH, TRAFFIC STATISTICS THAT WE COLLECTED ON THESE NEIGHBORHOODS.

UH, THE RESULTS WERE PROVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL, UH, BY AVERAGE, UH, IN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD.

UH, THE AVERAGE SPEED DROP BY FIVE MILES AN HOUR, UH, IN ADDITION TO A, UH, 8% REDUCTION IN TRAFFIC VOLUME.

UH, WE ALSO NOTED THAT, UH, NOT EVERYONE WAS, UH, WANTS TRAFFIC CALLINGS.

UH, YOU GUYS SAW THAT THERE'S THREE NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, JUST TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH EITHER THE PLAN OR THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE ELEMENTS THAT WERE PROPOSED.

UH, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES, LIKE, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, THE, UH, THE TRAFFIC MEMBERS THAT WERE REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY, THEY WERE THE ONES WHO WERE TAKING THE HEAVY LIFTING.

AND, UH, THEY HAD TO GO AND CANVAS ALL THESE, UH, HOMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY, THEY HAVE CONSENSUS, UH, BECAUSE LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, THEY HAVE TO GET THE MAJORITY.

OTHERWISE, THERE'S, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO TREATMENT.

UM, ROBERT RULES, OBVIOUSLY, EVERYBODY HAS, UH, YOU KNOW, HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK.

UM, YOU GOTTA BE MINDFUL OF THAT.

UH, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE FOLLOW THE NTMP GUIDELINES, WHICH IS PART OF THE PROGRAM.

UH, WE ALL RESPECT THE COMMON GOAL.

UH, AGAIN, PRIMARY GOAL FOR THIS, UH, PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE SPEED, REDUCE VOLUME, UH, MAKE THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD APPROACH.

UH, SOME OF THE PROGRAMS TOOK ABOUT A YEAR.

OTHERS TOOK UP TO THREE MONTHS TO, FROM INITIAL CONTACT TO, WITH THE RESIDENTS TO, UH, CONSTRUCTION.

UH, SPEED LUMPS SHOULD NOT BE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

UH, AND, UH, STOP, STOP, STOP.

SIGNS ARE NOT TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES.

THEY'RE, THEY'RE THERE TO ASSIGN RIGHT AWAY AND IMPROVE SAFETY, BUT THEY'RE NOT A TRAFFIC CALMING TOOL.

AND ALBERT, YOU MENTIONED THREE MONTHS.

I THINK YOU MET THREE, I'M SORRY.

THREE YEARS OHM, SORRY.

THREE YEARS.

PROVIDING TRAFFIC CALMING TO A GIVEN AREA.

SO FOR SOME NEIGHBORHOODS FROM START TO FINISH WAS A THREE YEAR PROCESS, WHICH WAS, WE FOUND TO BE FAR LONGER THAN WE ANTICIPATED FOR

[00:20:01]

I MEAN, IT JUST TOOK LONGER THAN I THINK ANYBODY EXPECTED IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS.

TH THANK, THANK YOU FOR THAT, FOR CORRECTING THAT, JIM.

UH, THIS IS A JOIN THE AFTER STUDY RESULTS, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS EIGHT THROUGH OH, WHICH IS THE, UH, THE PRIORITY LIST THAT COUNCIL ADOPTED IN 2011.

UH, BOTTOM LINE IS, UH, IT SHOWS THAT THE VOLUME, UH, WERE REDUCED BY TWO, 300 VEHICLES PER DAY.

UH, AND VOLUMES ARE DEPENDENT ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS LAND USE, UH, CONTEXT, AND ALSO THE PRESENCE OF ANY CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

UH, THIS IS A, THE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE, UH, PLAN ON IMPLEMENTING ON THIS NEW PLAN, SHOULD COUNCIL CONSIDER, UH, THEY'RE THE ONES IN YELLOW.

THE ONES THAT ARE IN BLUE ARE THE ONES THAT WE TACKLE ON THIS INITIAL NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM.

THIS IS A TABLE SHOWING THE RANKINGS OF, UH, THE NEW PROGRAM THAT THE NEW, THE NEW AREAS, AND ALSO ANY AREAS THAT, UH, HAD RECEIVED TREATMENT, NEW POLICY CONSIDERATION.

SO THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL OF WHAT STAFF IS REQUESTING.

UM, SO THE, THE INITIAL REQUEST COMES THROUGH, AND THERE IS CRITERIA AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS STREET, NEIGHBORHOOD OR ROAD SEGMENT, UH, CAN EVEN BE ELIGIBLE FOR TREATMENT.

ENGINEERING EVALUATES THE PETITION, RIGHT? AND IT'S ALL GONNA BE BASED ON THE SAME GUIDELINES, SPEED, VOLUME, AND TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

UM, IF IT MERITS AND IT, IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN NTMP IMPLEMENTATION, THEN STAFF PROCEEDS WITH PHASE ONE.

PHASE ONE, RIGHT? LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S BASED ON SPEED.

IF THE 85TH PERCENTILE OF THE SPEED IS BETWEEN FIVE AND EIGHT MILES PER HOUR ABOVE THE, ABOVE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA.

NOW VOLUME, IF IT EXCEEDS ONE A THOUSAND VEHICLES PER DAY, THAT MEETS THE SECOND CRITERIA.

SO ALL THAT IS MEANT WE GO AHEAD AND WE USE SOME OF THE TOOLBOX THAT WE HAVE FOR PHASE ONE.

AND THESE ARE YOUR TYPICAL SIGNS, POLICE ENFORCEMENT, UM, SPEED LIMIT SITES, TRAFFIC MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS, AND STRIPING.

ONCE ALL THAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED, STAFF HAS SIX MONTHS TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S WORKING, IF IT'S EFFECTIVE, IF IT'S EFFECTIVE, WE DON'T PROCEED WITH PHASE TWO.

IF IT'S NOT, IF IT SHOWS THAT VOLUMES ARE STILL HIGH SPEED LIMITS ARE THE SAME OR ABOVE, THEN WE PROCEED WITH PHASE TWO.

PHASE TWO, OBVIOUSLY, UH, IT CONSIDERS NOW THE SPEED LUMPS, RACE CROSSWALKS, CHICANES BULL BALANCE, THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE, MORE HEAVY, MORE INTRUSIVE.

UH, AND ALSO THE 85TH PERCENTILE THOUGH HAS TO BE ABOVE NINE MILES AN HOUR.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S HIGHER BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOING MUCH FASTER.

THEREFORE WE NEED SOMETHING MORE OF A, A BARRIER TO KIND OF OBSTRUCT THAT AND, UM, ALLOW 'EM TO SLOW DOWN.

UH, THE TRAFFIC, UH, VOLUME IS BETWEEN 1000 VEHICLES PER DAY, UP TO 3,500 VEHICLES PER DAY.

SAME THING.

AFTER WE IMPLEMENT THIS, THEN WE CONDUCT A SIX MONTH EVALUATION AND DETERMINE IF FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED.

ANY QUESTIONS? I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A QUESTION.

I'M, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT COUNTRY HILLS, WHICH IS IN THE, THE ZETA, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD, EVIDENTLY.

AND THIS IS AN AREA THAT VOTED AGAINST TRAFFIC CALMING AT ONE POINT IN TIME, BUT THEY'RE LISTED AS A PRIORITY OF NUMBER 12 ON THIS CHART.

CAN THEY, ARE THEY, CAN THEY REVISIT THE IDEA OF TRAFFIC CALMING THERE? 'CAUSE I THINK THEY VOTED MAYBE SOME YEARS AGO, AND THERE'S BEEN SOME TURNOVER IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO IF NOW THERE'S A NEW MAJORITY THAT DOES WANT IT, THEY CAN, BUT THEY HAVE TO START THE PROCESS OVER AGAIN, CORRECT? AB ABSOLUTELY.

BUT THEY'RE ELIGIBLE NONETHELESS.

YES.

DESPITE EARLIER NO VOTE.

YES.

AND SO THIS NEW, UH, PROCESS WOULD REMOVE THE THREE MANDATORY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND THEN THE FINAL MEETING? THAT IS CORRECT.

IN THESE AREAS, WHETHER YOU IMPLEMENTED THESE, UH, CALMING DEVICES, UM, HAVE YOU NOTICED A REDUCTION, UH, I GUESS MORE FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT? HAVE YOU NOTICED A REDUCTION IN, SAY, TRAFFIC COLLISIONS OR CITATIONS ISSUED IN THE AREA? WHAT, WHAT'S FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, UH, IMPLEMENTING, UH, THESE, UH, UM, ITEMS IN, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT HAS IT DONE FROM ACRA, UH, POLICE STANDPOINT? WELL, YOU KNOW, WE DO GET REQUESTS, UH, SPEEDING LIMITS.

I, YEAH, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP THINGS THAT'S DISCUSSED WITH ME OUT IN THE FIELD.

THE DESIRE FOR TRAFFIC COMING IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER, BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE IN FACT, YOU KNOW, PUT OFF BY THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN SO FAR TO GET THESE PROGRAMS UNDERWAY.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT HYPOTHETICALLY, THIS WILL INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE PROCESS QUITE A BIT? ABSOLUTELY.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE? I DO, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

[00:25:01]

AND AGAIN, THAT'S REALLY PART OF PHASE ONE THAT WE GO AHEAD AND, AND ASK FOR ENFORCEMENT IF THEY CAN, UH, GO AND, AND PERHAPS GO UP, I THINK.

BUT AF AFTER WE INSTALLED THE, THE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, DO WE SEE AN IMPROVEMENT? WHAT DOES THE POLICE, WHAT DOES THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SEEING IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS? AND, AND THAT AFTER THE, AFTER WE IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM, WE EVALUATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE EVALUATION COMES AGAIN.

WE CHECK AT, UH, CHECK SPEED, CHECK VOLUME, RIGHT? AND CHECK COLLISION REPORTS, SEE IF THERE'S ANY ACCIDENTS.

SO THAT, THAT, THAT STUDY WILL, WILL TELL US WHETHER OR NOT WHERE THEY AT IT, WE DON'T, ACCORDING TO WHAT, WHAT THE PROGRAM HAD HAD INDICATED.

NOT SURE IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING ME, UH, COUNCIL, I, I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE ALREADY COMPLETED, CORRECT? RIGHT.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE TRAFFIC COLLISION INFORMATION TONIGHT TO PROVIDE, TO COUNSEL ON THOSE COMPLETED NEIGHBORHOODS.

I, I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME, BUT WE CAN, WE CAN, WE CAN GET THAT.

WE GET THAT.

UM, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS, IN SEVERAL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAD, UM, TURN RESTRICTION SIGNS, UH, IMPLEMENTED, MY GUESS IS THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS WENT UP CONSIDERABLY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT HAD THE ABILITY TO TICKET FOLKS THAT WERE VIOLATING THE, UH, THE TIME RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN TURNS, AND WERE ISSUING CITATIONS TO CUT BACK ON, CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC THROUGH RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO THAT, I'M ALMOST CERTAIN YOU'LL SEE AN UPTICK ON CITATIONS, BUT THAT'S DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS FOR CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

BUT WE CAN GET YOU THE INFORMATION ON ACCIDENTS.

SEE, WELL, YOU KNOW, I, I'M LOOKING AT SLIDE NUMBER 28, WHICH SHOWS AFTER STUDY RESULTS FROM NTMD REDO.

THERE'S A REDUCTION.

IT SHOWS, I'M SAYING, YEAH, I'M TALKING ABOUT CITATIONS.

I SEE A REDUCTION SPEAKING CITATION.

CAN YOU GO TO THAT SLIDE, ALBERT? SLIDE 28 PLEASE? I THINK IT'S 28.

I I SAW THAT.

ONE BEFORE THAT THERE YOU'S TALKING ABOUT CITATIONS, I GUESS AFTER CITATIONS, AND WHAT'S WHAT, I NOTICED MY NEXT QUESTION.

UM, GO AHEAD.

GO AHEAD.

YOU HAVE ONE, KAREN? NO, I, I DO LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE.

IT'S GOOD.

ALBERT, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE, UH, THE SLIDE AFTER THIS ONE.

ON, UH, SLIDE 28, THE, UH, I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE HIGHLIGHTED ROADS IN RED AND THERE'S, UH, OR, OR RED OR ORANGE AND THERE'S A.IN A FEW, IN SOME OF THESE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS.

WHAT DO EACH ONE OF THOSE REPRESENT, IF ANYTHING? TO BE HONEST, I, I, I, I'M NOT SURE.

NO, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

COULD HAVE BEEN, UH, NUMBERED.

UH, MAYBE TRY TO LIST THEM BASED ON RANKING.

GOT IT.

BUT I, I DON'T THINK THERE'S, YEAH, I JUST DIDN'T SEE A LEGEND ON THERE, SO, PERFECT.

THERE'S ALSO, UH, BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS.

I DO, I DO REMEMBER THE QUESTION NOW, DARREN.

SURE.

I APOLOGIZE.

MR. MAYOR, UH, WITH OUR CURRENT SITUATION WITH STAFFING LEVELS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW, UM, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WHAT CHALLENGES DO YOU THINK YOU'LL FACE IN TRYING TO GET TO THESE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS IF WE APPROVE IT AND GO FORWARD WITH THIS? UH, FROM A STAFFING STANDPOINT, WHAT CHALLENGE ARE YOU GONNA HAVE? OR I MEAN, ARE YOU ABLE TO CONTRACT OUTSIDE HELP FOR A LOT OF WHAT THE WORK'S DONE? UH, PEEL AWAY A LITTLE BIT AS TO, UM, YOUR COMFORT LEVELS TO WHERE WE'RE WITH STAFFING LEVELS TO IMPLEMENT A LOT OF THIS STUFF AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT TO GET TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND THAT'S, THAT, THAT IS THE INTENT TO, TO HIRE, UH, OR USE OUR ON-CALL CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH, WITH THE CITY FOR, FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THAT HAD BEEN ASSISTING WITH THE PROGRAM.

UH, AND, UH, WE ARE, UH, ACTIVELY RECRUITING FOR, TO FILL THEIR TRAFFIC ENGINEER POSITION.

SO, UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, 32 PETITIONS IN THE QUEUE.

UH, WE PROBABLY WON'T GET 'EM AS FAST AS WE WOULD LIKE BECAUSE OF THE, UH, STAFFING SHORTAGES.

BUT, UH, WE WILL OBVIOUSLY PRIORITIZE, UH, AT YOUR DIRECTION.

UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WERE BUDGETING BACK IN 2010, 1215 WAS ROUGHLY $150,000 FOR THREE NEIGHBORHOODS.

WHAT WE REALIZED WAS EACH NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS COMPLETED WAS RUNNING CLOSER TO $80,000, DEPENDING ON WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IN TODAY'S DOLLARS.

THREE NEIGHBORHOODS TODAY COULD BE CLOSER TO $300,000 TO GET DONE.

SO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BUDGET IS, HOW MUCH FUNDING WE HAVE AS COUNCIL MEMBER GOMEZ MENTIONED STAFFING CA UH, CAPACITY, WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, WE CAN GET DONE.

THE ONE MAJOR BENEFIT

[00:30:01]

FOR THIS NEW UPDATED NTMP PLAN, THOUGH, IS THAT IT, SINCE IT'S PHASED, THE LEAST COSTLY IMPLEMENTATION WE CAN DO IS SIGNAGE STRIPING, UM, THE KIND OF THINGS THAT ALLOW FOR, UM, TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT TO HAVE MORE TEETH TO CONTROL, CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC.

THOSE ARE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE AND RELATIVELY QUICK TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL.

RIGHT? WHEN YOU GET TO PHASE TWO, YOU GET INTO THE FAR MORE COSTLY CONSTRUCTION, UH, PUTTING IN A SPEED LUMP, BUILDING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, UH, DOING A CHICANE OR BUILDING OUT, UH, POP OUTS ON THE CURBS TO RESTRICT THE, UH, MAKE THE TRACK, UH, LANE A LITTLE BIT MORE NARROW TO SLOW PEOPLE DOWN.

THAT REQUIRES ENGINEERING, THAT REQUIRES DEMOLITION, THEN CONSTRUCTION, IT BECOMES A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE.

SO BY DOING IT PHASE BY PHASE, WE CAN IMMEDIATELY HELP A NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN SEE HOW THAT GOES.

AND THEN IF WE NEED MORE, WE CAN THEN COME BACK WITH MORE OPTIONS LATER THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT, UH, MORE HEAVY LIFTING AND A LITTLE BIT MORE COSTLY QUESTION.

UH, I HAVE TO REFER TO THE CITY ATTORNEY TO MAKE SURE IT'S AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION.

AND THE CITY MANAGER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BUDGET.

UH, AND, UH, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT, UH, UH, A MEASURE, UH, VIA APPROVAL WOULD ENHANCE THESE TRAFFIC PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO BE COMPLETED A LOT SOONER AND LATER? WELL, YEAH.

LET ME ANSWER THE QUESTION THIS WAY.

SO GENERALLY, THESE PROJECTS USE GAS TAX MEASURE M TWO FUNDING, WHERE, WHICH ARE TRAFFIC SPECIFIC, UM, REVENUE SOURCES THAT ARE NOT GENERAL FUND, WHERE YOU SEE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS GETTING SPENT IS FOR HIRING ENGINEERS TO HIRING STAFF, RIGHT.

TO HELP RUN THE PROGRAM.

SO THE DOLLARS ACTUALLY SPENT ON THE PROGRAM COME FROM DEDICATED SOURCES, BUT THE BACKBONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY ARE THE ONES RUNNING THE PROGRAM USUALLY ARE GENERAL FUNDED.

UH, AND THUS, YOU KNOW, SO TO THE EXTENT WE HAVE GENERAL FUND DOLLARS, THEN WE HAVE MORE CAPABILITY TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS.

SO IT CAN, IT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

SURE.

TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO CONSTRUCT, WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD.

GARY, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

UM, ON THE TWO AREAS THAT YOU SAID DID NOT GET APPROVED, LIKE, UH, IN AREA I NOW, IS THAT BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH PARTICIPATION OR THEY DIDN'T REALLY WANT IT? OR DID THEY HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN THE ONES THAT YOU PRESENTED OR THAT WERE PRESENTED? SO, SO, SO THERE WERE THREE, UH, AND, BUT I, I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY, THEY WERE NOT APPROVED, BUT I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU.

I, I'M JUST SAYING IN GENERAL, EITHER THEY DID NOT MEET THE VOTING THRESHOLD OR THE, UH, THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DID NOT APPROVE THE, THE PLAN THAT WAS PRESENTED, RIGHT? SO IT, THAT'S, IT COULD BE THERE EITHER OR.

SO TO HELP ALBERT OUT A LITTLE BIT, SO ALBERT UNFORTUNATELY GOT THROWN INTO THE, INTO THE DEEP END OF THE POOL WITH THIS REPORT.

OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, MICHAEL PLOTNICK, WHO ACTUALLY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DESIGNING THIS PROGRAM 15 YEARS AGO, RECENTLY, UH, RESIGNED FROM THE CITY TO GO WORK FOR ANOTHER CITY.

SO WE'RE OUT WITH, WE DON'T HAVE A TRAFFIC ENGINEER ON STAFF TODAY.

UM, ALBERT BEING THE, THE CITY ENGINEER AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR TOOK OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPORT.

SO WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS MY RECOLLECTION.

SO I REMEMBER DISTINCTLY AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE VERY DIFFICULT NEIGHBORHOODS TO WORK WITH TO GET ANYTHING DONE.

AND NOT BECAUSE THEY REALLY DIDN'T WORK HARD, BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERNAL DISAGREEMENT IN AMONG THE NEIGHBORS IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, SEG SEGMENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED.

AND IN THREE CASES, IT TURNED INTO CIVIL WAR.

IT, IT, IT GOT SO BAD.

THEY, IF YOU RECALL, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE ON COUNCIL, THEY WERE COMING TO COUNCIL MEETINGS, BASICALLY SCREAMING ABOUT EACH OTHER AND ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ACCUSING BOTH.

THERE WAS LIKE TWO SIDES TO THE STORY ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED AND WHAT THEY DIDN'T WANT, AND WHY THEY WERE DOING THIS, WHY THEY WEREN'T DOING THIS.

AND IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AS STAFF, BECAUSE ALL WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS HELP THEM BECAUSE THEY PETITIONED US TO BRING TRAFFIC CALMING.

THEY COULDN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT.

AND UNFORTUNATELY, IN THREE NEIGHBORHOODS, WELL, FORTUNATELY OR NOT FOR HERE, HERE'S WHAT, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I TOLD THEM.

THE CITY CAN SPEND THE MONEY ON TRAFFIC CALMING OR NOT.

IT'S REALLY DEPENDENT ON WHAT THE NEIGHBORS WANT.

IF THE NEIGHBORS DON'T WANT ANYTHING, WE CAN TAKE THAT MONEY AND PUT IT INTO ANOTHER STREET PROJECT.

SO IT'S NO ONE'S FORCING.

THE CITY DOESN'T COME IN AND FORCE TRAFFIC CALMING ON RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT'S US GETTING A REQUEST, US RESPONDING TO THAT REQUEST, AND THEN TRYING TO CRAFT A, A SOLUTION TO WHAT THE NEIGHBORS PERCEIVE AS A PROBLEM IN A COUPLE NEIGHBORHOODS.

IT WAS JUST, THEY COULD NOT AGREE, AND THEY WERE VERY VOCAL, AND THEY FINALLY JUST, UH, VOTED IT DOWN.

SO, UH, AND, AND IN THAT CASE, I THINK, UH, UH, MR. MAYOR, YOU MENTIONED ONE OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS IS BACK ON THE LIST.

WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN A PETITION AFTER THAT DENIAL, OR AFTER THEY COULDN'T COME TO AN AGREEMENT TO ASK FOR RECONSIDERATION.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE 'EM ON THE LIST AGAIN, RIGHT? SO, AND AGAIN, FOR THIS SECOND ROUND OF NT MP, OUR INTENTION IS NOT TO FORCE ANYTHING ON ANYBODY.

IF WE CANNOT BUILD CONSENSUS WITH NEIGHBORS AND GET THEM TO, TO AGREE

[00:35:01]

SO, OKAY.

MY, UH, OTHER ITEM WAS JUST TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IT IS ABOUT TIME, I THINK THREE YEARS TO GET A STUDY DONE, AND FROM START TO FINISH, PEOPLE GET TIRED OF WAITING.

AND THOSE, THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE HEAR ALL THE TIME BEING OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, I MIGHT BE NEW AT THIS, BUT I'M, I'M HEARING IT FROM, I'VE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR 35 YEARS, SO I HEAR IT.

UM, SO TO TAKE THIS IN A PHASE ONE AND PHASE TWO AND, AND HAVING A SIX MONTH PERIOD IN THERE WHERE THEY CAN GET ALL THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, COMPLETED, IT'S GONNA REALLY MEAN, UM, A DIFFERENCE TO A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS.

AND WITH STAFFING, IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER, BUT AT LEAST THEY DON'T LOOK AT THAT THREE YEAR PERIOD AND SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

IT WILL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY WHEN EVERYBODY COMES TOGETHER.

BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK ON THAT.

I HAVE ONE, I THINK I HAVE, DID I GO THE LAST SLIDE? MAYBE I DID.

RECOMMENDATIONS, RIGHT.

SO RECOMMENDATION STAFF IS PROPOSING IS TO ADOPT THIS, UH, NEW POLICY AS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF, UH, TO BE MORE OF A STREET APPROACH OR A SEGMENT APPROACH WHERE WE GET A REQUEST, WE EVALUATE IT, GO THROUGH MEETS CRITERIA, GO TO PHASE ONE, UH, IT'S ALL ENGINEERING DRIVEN.

AGAIN, GO BACK TO THE ACCIDENTS, GO BACK TO SPEEDS AND VOLUMES.

UH, AND THEN WE, IF APPROVED, WE WILL PROCEED WITH EVALUATING THE PETITIONS THAT WE CURRENT CURRENTLY HAVE, WHICH ARE 32.

AND WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NO QUESTIONS ON WHAT HE JUST SAID.

IS THERE? NO.

THANKS AGAIN, ALBERT.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE PUBLIC TO TESTIFY.

I KNOW WE HAVE A GENTLEMAN RIGHT HERE WHO'S BEEN WAITING ALL NIGHT TO FINALLY SPEAK.

SO, WELCOME SIR.

MY NAME IS SCOTT WILSON.

I LIVE AT 9 3 2 2 WALLACE AVENUE, WHICH IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WALLACE.

AND MACY, UM, COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND YOUR STAFF SINCE THE LAST MONTH WHEN I WAS IN HERE, YOUR TRAFFIC DIVISION HAS SENT ME EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION THAT I COULD ASK TO AN EXTREMELY TIMELY MANNER.

AND I LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER AND THANK HIM.

AND THE REST OF YOU FOR HAVING VERY COMPETENT PEOPLE HERE.

UM, I WANNA START WITH WHAT USED TO BE PHASE TWO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PHASE ONE NOW.

AND IT STILL COMES DOWN TO WHAT CITY MANAGERS TALKING ABOUT, TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO AGREE IF THEY WANT TO HAVE THIS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, MY NEXT COMMENT SHIFTS OVER TO BOTH THE ATTORNEY AND THE MANAGER, WHICH IS THE CITY HAS HAD THE INFORMATION THAT THE 85TH PERCENTILE SPEED ON MACY FAR EXCEEDS EVEN WHAT'S LISTED IN PHASE TWO HERE.

HEAVENS FORBID IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, BECAUSE WE WERE A PREVIOUS UNINCORPORATED, NO SIDEWALK, NO STREET LAMPS.

IF THERE IS EVER ANYTHING THAT WERE TO HAPPEN TO A KID DURING SCHOOL, I DON'T KNOW, 'CAUSE I'M NOT AN EXPERT HERE, BUT THERE COULD BE POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR THE CITY.

AND WE'RE TALKING HOW MUCH MONEY ALL THIS TRAFFIC CALMING STARTS TO COST.

ONE IS BRILLIANT, PUT IN SIGNS AND IT .

THAT COULD BE BRILLIANT.

UM, SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE STOP SIGN, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER 130 PAGES TO READ THAT ALBERT SENT ME TODAY.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME AND ALLOWING ME TO ADDRESS YOU.

AND I HIGHLY REQUEST THAT YOU GUYS ADOPT THIS NEW PROPOSAL.

AND BEFORE YOU LEAVE SCOTT, TOO, I BELIEVE YOU'RE AN EPSILON, ALBERT CAN CONFIRM.

THE MACY AREA IS EPSILON, WHICH ACCORDING TO THIS LIST IS, UH, PRIORITY NUMBER ONE.

AM I SPEAKING CORRECTLY OR INCORRECTLY? IT IS, THAT'S CORRECT.

ALRIGHT, VERY GOOD.

SO, SO ESSENTIALLY YOUR AREA'S AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

I JUST, SO YOU MAYOR, I'M, I'M SORRY, MY HEARING'S SO BAD.

I THAT'S FINE.

COMPREHEND.

IT'S A GOOD THING YOU'RE NUMBER ONE, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

ALL RIGHT.

ANYBODY ELSE? WE'RE ON THE TOP OF LIST.

HI, UH, GOOD EVENING.

I'M JERRY MAHO, AND I LIVE AT 1292 MACY STREET.

AND, UH, THANK YOU COUNSEL FOR YOUR TIME.

I JUST, I DON'T WANNA REPEAT EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID, SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT PLEASE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADOPT PHASE ONE.

UM, ALTHOUGH I DO WANT TO ADD, MACY IS A UNIQUE SITUATION BECAUSE IT'S FRANKLY A DRAG STRIP.

IT'S NOT A CUT THROUGH OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

AND SPEED BUMPS ARE NICE, BUT I, FOR ONE, WOULD REALLY LIKE A STOP SIGN.

[00:40:01]

IT WOULD BE CHEAPER.

UH, IT WOULD ALSO STOP, UM, OR CONTROL TRAFFIC FOR MOTORCYCLES, BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU PUT IN THE, UH, SPEED BUMPS, UH, MOTORCYCLE CAN STILL CUT THROUGH.

UM, AND ALSO FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, IF THEY HAVE TO GET IN THAT AREA IN A TIMELY MANNER, UM, SPEED BUMPS WOULD JUST SLOW 'EM DOWN A STOP SIGN.

THEY'D HAVE THEIR RED LIGHTS AND SIREN AND, AND CAN GO THROUGH AND GET TO A TIMELY MANNER.

BUT, UM, SO WHOEVER MAKES THAT FINAL DECISION, I JUST HOPE THEY WOULD CONSIDER A STOP SIGN JUST BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE SITUATION OF MACY STREET.

MM-HMM.

AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY, AND I THANK YOU.

AND AGAIN, ON TOP OF ALBERT AND EVERYONE, UH, FOR GIVING US OR THE INFORMATION, THEY DID A TOPNOTCH JOB.

ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE.

WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT, AND WE'LL MOVE TO DISCUSSION AND OR ACTION.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

MR. MAYOR, I, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M, I'M FOR THE, UH, FOR THE, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS AND, UH, UH, JUST AS TO WHAT, UH, SCOTT AND, AND JERRY HAD SAID, UH, YEAH, I'M A, I ALSO LIVE IN THE MACE AREA, BUT HAVING LIVED THERE FOR OVER 25 YEARS, YOU, YOU NOTICE IN JERRY AND SCOTT, UH, UH, SPEAK THE TRUTH AS FAR AS, UH, THE SPEED LIMIT THERE.

BEING A POLICE OFFICER, MYSELF, I DON'T HAVE A RADAR GUN WITH ME, BUT I KNOW WHEN CARS ARE GOING WAY TOO FAST, AND THEY ARE, AND THE CONCERN IS MACY'S SCHOOL, IT'S BEEN A CONCERN SINCE, UH, MY KIDS WERE THERE GOING BACK NOW, UH, WHAT, UH, 17, 18 YEARS, IF NOT MORE, UH, WHEN THEY WERE IN KINDERGARTEN THERE.

BUT, UH, THE, UH, THE OTHER PART TO IT IS RUSSELL IS ALSO A, A DRAG STRIP.

AND, UH, WHAT, WHAT WE'VE, WHAT I'VE NOTICED, BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE FAR FROM THAT, UH, CORNER OF RUSSELL AND MACY, IS, UH, ON, UH, ON OCCASIONS YOU'LL HAVE, UH, PEOPLE, UH, AT THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING GO IN AND START DOING DONUTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, AND THEY'RE THERE ONE MINUTE AND THEY'RE GONE.

AND, UH, THEY, UH, THEY, THEY MAY GO THROUGH THE HEIGHTS OUTSIDE OF OUR CITY LIMITS, AND, YOU KNOW, THE, THE CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC IS ANOTHER ONE.

AND, UH, I, I'M, I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.

SO, UH, FOR ME, FOR THE WHOLE CITY, OF COURSE, NOT JUST MY NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTING THE WHOLE CITY, I'M, I'M BEHIND THIS, SO THIS IS GREAT.

THANK YOU FOR, TO STAFF FOR THE REPORT.

SO, MR. MAYOR, I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.

GO RIGHT AHEAD.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE THE RESULTS OF THE CITY INITIAL COMPLETED NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN, NTMP, AND CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED NTMP CHANGES AND APPROVE THE RENEWAL OF THE UPDATED AND REVISED NTMP PLAN.

VERY GOOD.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND MOTION AND A SECOND VOTE PLEASE.

THANK YOU, RHONDA.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

YOU GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S THE, UH, THE LAST CONSIDERATION ITEM WE HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE RIGHT
