Mayor Ford abstained with regard to this item. By way of PowerPoint and video, Public Works Director Hughes presented and clarified the staff report (of record), referencing speed violations on Via Cordoba, speed survey, and use of stop signs and noting that the use of stop signs, at this particular location, would not solve the speeding concern but would create an additional problem of individuals violating the stop signs. Mr. Hughes briefly commented on various devices/methods which will be considered and potentially recommended in a City-wide policy for all residential areas throughout the City. In an effort to address the Via Cordoba concerns, Mr. Hughes recommended the use of striping in order to create the appearance of narrower lanes as well as additional law enforcement. As done in Sister City Voorburg, Councilman Lindemans suggested striping the bike lane red which as well would create the appearance of narrower lanes. In light of the length of this street, Councilman Roberts expressed concern with Via Cordoba being utilized as a bypass road. Mr. Roberts, echoed by Councilman Comerchero, also commented on the potential traffic impacts the upcoming Wolf Creek Development may have on Via Cordoba and requested that staff address that issue. The following residents spoke in support of multi-way stop controls at intersections along Via Cordoba: Mr. Robert Purmort 45099 Corte Valle Mr. Chades Hankley 31745 Via Cordoba Ms. Shed Hancock 31520 Via Cordoba Ms. Christina Hill 31950 Via Cordoba Ms. Janet Dixon 31860 Via Cordoba Mr. Frank Romero no address given Mr. Mitchell Brasga 31586 Loma Linda Road Mr. Tom McGuire 31535 Via Cordoba R:\Minutes\082499 The above-mentioned individuals spoke in support of the stop signs for the following reasons and as well offered the following resolutions to mitigate the speeding concern along Via Cordoba: Via Cordoba a curved street creating a safety issue Speeding concem pdmadly at the bottom of the street Driveways along Via Cordoba are sloped Future impact from the Wolf Creek Development Offered resolutions install stop signs additional law enforcement speed bumps make the east end of Via Cordoba a cul-de-sac barriers install traffic circles Because the warrant analysis determined the multi-way stop controls on Via Cordoba as unwarranted, Mr. Mario Carvajal, 31645 Via Cordoba, spoke in opposition to the installation of such signs. With regard to the previous installation of speed bumps on Pina Colada, Councilman Roberts noted that the use of speed bumps has had a nominal impact on speed reduction but that it has had a significant impact on lowering those residents' property values. Mr. Roberts noted that the installation of stop signs at Starlight Ridge had a positive impact on speed reduction. With regard to Via Cordoba, he suggested that the use of traffic circles be explored by staff and if such use were not feasible in this particular location, stop signs should be installed. Councilman Lindemans reiterated his suggestion to paint the bicycle path red and as well spoke in support of staff exploring the use traffic circles at this particular location and that if such use would not be feasible, stop signs should be installed. Echoing his fellow Councilmembers' comments, Councilman Comerchero suggested that staff review the use of traffic circles and that the matter be readdressed by the City Council within two weeks. With regard to the use of stop signs, Mr. Comerchero relayed his opposition to such installation if it has been determined that such signs are not warranted. While staff is exploring the use of traffic circles on Via Cordoba, Public Works Director Hughes recommended the use of cleady marked, temporary traffic circle devices. Councilman Roberts suggested that the Public Works City Council Subcommittee (comprised of Mayor Pro Tem Stone and Councilman Roberts) address this issue and receive an update from staff within a month and that an update as well be provided to the Homeowners Association. R:\Minutes\082499 8 Mayor Pro Tem Stone commended staff on the informative staff report and presentation with regard to this item and reiterated the need to formulate a resolution to the concern, viewing the use of traffic circles as a positive method. Mr. Stone as well introduced the acronym STERN (Speed Termination Entering Residential Neighborhoods) and requested that additional law enforcement be visible throughout residential neighborhoods and that for the next 30 days a weekly toll be provided as to speeding tickets issued at Via Cordoba. MOTION: Councilman Comerchero moved that while staff is formulating a City-wide policy with regard to multi-way stop controls, staff install two to three temporary traffic circles on Via Cordoba with the exact location to be determined by the Public Works Department. The motion was seconded by Councilman Roberts and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Mayor Ford who abstained. Although having abstained with regard to this particular issue, Mayor Ford commended the City Council on its decision and encouraged staff to review how collector roadways influence residential neighborhoods. At 8:49 P.M., Mayor Ford called a recess and reconvened the meeting at 9:02 P.M. 20 Consideration of Sponsorship Requests RECOMMENDATION: 20.1 Approve funding for the Rod Run in the amount up to $25,000 for actual City- support costs; 20.2 Approve funding for the Frontier Days Rodeo in the amount of $10,000 plus actual City-support costs up to the amount of $6,500; 20.3 Approve funding for the Great Temecula Tractor Race in the amount of $10,000 plus actual City-support costs up to the amount of $14,100; 20.4 Appropriate an amount not to exceed $10,000 to provide an audit of the Temecula Town Association's Financial Statements. Assistant City Manager O'Grady presented the staff report (as per agenda material), advising that if staff recommendation were approved, the Council would have to appropriate additional funds from the unallocated General Fund Reserves and that any funding approved in excess of the recommendation would as well require additional allocation to the General Fund Reserves. Councilman Lindemans spoke in opposition to the City funding audits for these organizations. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Stone, Councilman Comerchero clarified the Council Subcommittee's (comprised of Councilmembers Comerchero and Roberts) rationale to the above-mentioned recommendation and noted that it would be financially responsible of the City to conduct periodic review, by way of an audit, of those organizations receiving City funding. Viewing these events such as the Rod Run as major sources of toudsm to the City, Mayor Ford relayed his concem with expecting these non-profit organizations to pay for unanticipated City support expenses for Police and Fire. Mayor Pro Tem Stone suggested that specific language such as unless mitigated by a City Council majority vote be incorporated for these non-profit organization agreements. R:\Minutes\082499 9 Finance Director Roberts noted that the scope and detail of the audit for these non-profit organizations would depend size as well as dollars funded.
