C4.
Nancy Negretti expressed her concern for the children who have to cross Milliken and the way motorists
drive on this street. She stated there are no posted speed limit signs on Milliken, but that she found out
today the speed limit is 55 mph. She felt something needed to be done before the school year starts.
C5. Veronica Espinosa, Emerson, read comments from various students crossing Milliken to go to school.
C6.
Mike Ube, 6875 Fist Court, stated he had filed a report with the Police Department about speeding cars on
Milliken. He asked that the Council do something to slow down traffic in this area.
C7.
Jim Frost stated he did not think the accident was caused by the design of the intersection, but felt it was
very unfortunate what happened.
C8. Larry Epple, Bella Vista, stated he and his family supported Councilmember Gutierrez.
Mayor Stout stated he had asked Traffic Design to take a look at the intersection of Fairmont and Miiliken, and also
Vintage, for safety. He stated the signal light has been budgeted and is going out to bid in August, but that it also
has to be done according to State codes. He stated it would not go in until April of 1994. He asked Ralph Hanson,
Deputy City Attorney, if the City were to declare this an emergency in light of what has happened at this
intersection, could it possibly be installed sooner than if the City followed the State code process.
Ralph Hanson, Deputy City Attorney, stated yes and that they could work with the Engineering staff to try to
accomplish this.
Mayor Stout asked that this come back on the next agenda.
Councilmember Alexander stated he felt the same way and wanted to do whatever was the most expedient to get
something through.
Mayor Stout asked that this come back at the next meeting and that the Public Safety Subcommittee work with the
City Attorney and City Engineer on this matter. He stated he would like the speed on Milliken examined, the traffic
stop sign at Vintage, specifically, and also the issue of Fairmont near the Victoria Groves Park with respect to stop
signs and so forth.
Councilmember Alexander expressed his appreciation for the mother of one of the accident victims that was present
tonight.
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he would like to look at the traffic study which stated the speed limit of 55 mph
was acceptable.
Mayor Stout commented on the accident and how touched he was by what the neighbors are doing for the families
involved.
Veronica Espinosa stated she was under the impression the signal could go in before April, but stated she
would like to see it go in before school starts.
Mayor Stout again commented on the bid process and all that is involved with it.
Councilmember Williams asked if there was something in the interim that can be done at this location like a stop
sign or something.

Joe O'Neil, City Engineer, stated he did not think a stop sign would do the trick because of it being a six lane
highway, and thought it might create more of a problem. He added he would put this in his report for the next
meeting.

back in two weeks.
Jack Lam, City Manager, stated this would be brought back at the next meeting.
MOTION: Moved by Stout, seconded by Gutierrez to accept staffs recommendation as indicated in the staff report.

of town easily by doing this.

I. COUNCIl. BUSINESS
I1. UPDATE REPORT ON EFFECTS OF THE STATE BUDGET ON THE CITY (Oral Report) Staff
report presented by Jack Lain, City Manager. (0205-01 BUDGET)
Councilmember Gutierrez stated he felt this was very bleak. He stated he would like the opportunity to discuss this
matter with the public. He stated he felt the public perceived the urgency of the utility tax not to be as drastic
because not as much money was taken by the State as was previously expected. He felt the public should have input
in what is going on with the budget. He wanted them to feel that the City is doing the best they can do. He
suggested a workshop should be set in one month to receive any updates and to also open the meeting for public
input.
Councilmember Alexander stated that as the City Manager indicated it may be longer than four weeks before any
news comes down to the City about the budget. He felt a workshop might be a little premature at this point.
Mayor Stout asked when the County will know what they are going to do with law enforcement, etc.
Jack Lain, City Manager, stated he does not know when the County will tell the City the implications on Rancho
Cucamonga.
Mayor Stout felt after the November elections might be a more appropriate time to have the workshop.
Councilmember Gutierrez felt October would be better for the workshop.
Councilmember Wiiliams stated since the County is not going to give the City a straight answer with regards to the
library and what is going to happen, could the City circumvent the County and go straight to the State. She felt the
City needed to push for an answer from them.
