an applicable ordinance; but that the ordinance before them tonight should be
adopted. If we developed such an ordinance, we should also take on the e~orcement
which would be necessary.

5C. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROJECT -- OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT. Staff report (23)
by Lloyd Hubbs.
The Office of Traffic Safety has approved funding assistance for a pedestrian
safety project. Staff was recommending that Council approve the concept of the
grant program and confirm its support to continue the program.upon termination
of the grant.
Councilman Frost said he did not have any reservations per se with the project,
but wanted to know specifically what council action staff needed.
Mr. Hubbs said basically they needed Council's concurrence with the concept of
the grant.
Councilman Bridge expressed that he took a very dim view of this type of project.
He felt this was not a proper use of public money. He also felt that anyone
could do this project in a few weeks and to take half a year would be a misappro-
priation of funds.
Councilman Mikels said that since the north/south streets carry a lot of water,
he would agree that something could be done to develop maps with alternate school
routes shown. He said that if this could be developed to help stop a disaster,
then he was not opposed to the grant concept.
Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing.
Michael Fresques asked if there wasn't someone on staff who could
do this without having to go and hire someone.
There being no further comments, the public portion of the meeting was closed.
Motion: Moved by Bridge, seconded by Palombo to reject this proposal. Motion
carried by the following vote: AYES: Palombo, Bridge, and Schlosser. NOES:
Frost and Mikels.

Mr. Hubbs stated that in order not to lose the funds perhaps it would be more
acceptable to Council if they could plan on using the current staff.
Council agreed that if they used city staff that put a different light on the
project. They directed the City Engineer to rework the proposal and to come
back at the next meeting with a proposal using city staff.

$241.68. Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
(25) ADDED ITEMS:
Mayor Schlosser said ne had been approached by several asking about the height of
fences~around pools. Our ordinance requires a 5'6" fence. He said it was pointed
out that one cannot find that odd size fence.
Mr. Lam explained that the County required a 4' fence originally. He explained
the concept of the 5'6" fence. To require a full 6' fence, then some would comolain
if the fence were on a slope and it went over the 6' limit by an inch or so.
For all practical purposes, it is a 6' fence stated Mr. Lam.
Councilman Bridge said under the circumstances, we should leave the ordinance as
is. Council concurred leaving the requirement as 5'6".
