ITMS - Intelligent Transportation Management Svstern Mark Miller, Albert Grover and Associates presented a summary of the Intelligent Transportation Management System (ITMS) project. MINUTES:6/27/96 1 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27. 1996 Mr. Miller discussed the implementation and installation of a centralized computer system to coordinate traffic signal timing on major arterials within the City; Rancho California Road, Winchester Road, Jefferson Avenue, Ynez Road, Margarita Road and Ynez Road south of Rancho California Road. This system will assist in reducing delays and pollution by optimizing traffic signal timing which will be monitored and modified from a central control room located in City Hall, working in cooperation with Caltrans to coordinate signal timing going over the 1-15 on/off ramps. Commissioner Perry inquired if the study was done keeping in mind the City's growth factor for the future and an increase in traffic demands. Mr. Miller responded that the system is designed taking growth into consideration and the system will be adequate for future demand. Commissioner Guerriero inquired about the criteria used for selecting the intersections that were studied. Mr. miller responded that the City gave them the criteria based on looking at the Towne Center and surrounding area, also the ability to tie these intersections together. Commissioner Guerriero also inquired if, at some point in the future, the City would have the ability to monitor the ramps from the City Hall control center. Mr. Miller responded that Caltrans system is compatible with the Citys' system, however the City could not change Caltrans timing nor would Caltrans be able to change the City signal timing. The agreement is to allow both to look at each intersection and to coordinate these signal timings. Commissioner Sander inquired if the control room was similar to the one at the City of Pasadena. Mr. Miller stated that this control room would be different, but central control will be in the new City Hall. Commissioner Johnson inquired if there would be video links. Mr. Miller stated, not at this time but that the system is designed so cameras could be accommodated in the future. Mr. Kicak inquired as to the cost of video cameras at the intersections. Mr. Miller responded that a closed circuit TV monitor at the control center would be approximately $50,000 and approximately $15,000 to $20,000 to place a camera at each intersection. The City would have the ability to install these cameras in the future. Commissioner Guerriero inquired if this system will be able to interface with the Opticore System. Mr. Miller stated that the ITMS and Opticom Systems are interfaced. Commissioner Coe inquired when the ITMS System would be totally functional. Mr. Miller responded that the system would be in place and operational by early 1997. MINUTES:6/27/96 2 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27.1996 COMMISSION BUSINESS 4. "All-Way Stol~" - Loma Linda Road at Via Cordoba Assistant Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report and stated this intersection does not meet the traffic warrants for installation of an "All-Way Stop". He recommended the request for installation be denied. It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Knox to accept staff recommendation to deny the request to establish an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Loma Linda Road at Via Cordoba. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Perry, Sander, Johnson, Coe NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None 5. "All-Way Stop" - Front Street at Sixth Street Assistant Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report and stated since the intersection does not meet the warrants for installation of an "All-Way Stop" this request be denied. Commissioner Perry inquired what the 85% percentlie speed limit is on Front Street at Sixth Street. Assistant Engineer Moghadam responded that a speed survey had not been conducted at this time, but the posted speed limit is 25 MPH. Chairman Coe called for Public Comment: Ed Dool, Temecula Shuttle, Sixth Street and Mercedes Road, spoke in favor of an "All- Way Stop" and expressed concern about the increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic when the bus terminal construction is completed. Commissioner Guerriero inquired as to the time frame for building the bus terminal. Mr. Dool responded that construction will begin approximately the late part of August. Karen Grove, Chaparral Antique Mall, Front Street and Sixth Street, spoke in favor of an "All-Way Stop" at this location due to the increase of vehicle and pedestrian traffic and stated a survey should be done Thursday through Sunday because of increases in traffic on these days. Commissioner Guerriero inquired if there was a noticed increase in pedestrian and vehicle traffic volumes and speeds. Ms. Grove responded that pedestrian and vehicle traffic had increased and particularly on these days. MINUTES:6/27/96 3 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27.1996 Commissioner Coe inquired as to the history of counts on weekends, Assistant Engineer Moghadam responded that the side street volumes are low and a weekend traffic count would be possible, Commissioner Perry inquired as to the affect of commuter traffic that goes through Old Town on week days, would it slow traffic down and possibly cause back up of vehicles. Assistant Engineer Moghadam responded that a possible back up would occur of approximately 50 to 60 vehicles during peak hours and affect other side streets. Roger Epperson, Manager of Chaparral Building, 28465 Front Street, Suite 321, spoke in favor of an "All-Way Stop" at this location and expressed concern regarding the increase of tour busses, pedestrians, speeds and traffic and encouraged the Commission to be pro-active for Old Town traffic needs. Commissioner Johnson inquired if just pedestrian traffic was of concern. Mr. Epperson responded that both pedestrian and vehicle traffic was the concern for Front Street and Sixth Street. Larry Markham, 41750 Winchester Road, Suite L, spoke in favor of installation of an "All-Way Stop" and expressed concern about the speeds and would like to see an additional speed survey be conducted. He stressed the increase of traffic with the completion of the Sam Hicks Monument Park, Sixth Street parking lot, Public Restroom facility, the bus terminal and the future bridge across the creek at Sixth Street. Commissioner Guerriero inquired as to construction time of the restroom and parking lot. Mr. Markham responded that construction should be completed in approximately six (6) months or by the end of the year. Commissioner Perry commented that now would be a good time to be pro-active and help to control traffic in Old Town by installing a stop sign and pedestrian crosswalk at this intersection. Commission Guerriero inquired of Lt. Domenoe of speeds in this area. Lt. Domenoe responded that they were higher than 25 MPH based on observation. He expressed concern about increased travel time, and stated stop signs should not be used to control speeds. He agreed a stop at this location would probably help reduce speeds and would assist with public safety. was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to recommend to the City Council installation of four-way stop signs without crosswalks at the intersection of Front Street and Sixth Street. MINUTES:6/27/96 4 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27.1996 The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Perry, Sander, Johnson, Coe NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Assistant Engineer All Moghadam presented the Traffic Engineer's Report and reported the following information: A Traffic Control Device Inventory of all traffic control devices within the City should be available within a few months.

Assistant Engineer Moghadam responded preliminary design is almost complete and will go to Caltrans for the first plan check within a few weeks. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Lieutenant Jim Domenoe reported on the following: Next month the Department will have a list, of citations for the first six (6) months, by type and district for the Commissions' review. MINUTES:6/27/96 5 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27, 1996 Commissioner Guerriero inquired as to a report he heard that 85% of kids in high school are taking drugs. Lt. Domenoe responded, there are minor problems but not at that level. Commissioner Perry expressed concern about the number of alarms reported. Lt. Domenoe responded that some of the alarms may have been canceled but an officer was dispatched and made a physical inspection of the property. Some of these were false alarms but still had to be responded to. Commissioner Guerriero inquired as to the status about the alarm ordinance. Joseph Kicak, Director of Public Works/City Engineer will check with the City Attorney for an update and draft of this ordinance. Commissioner Guerriero inquired about the status of purchasing a DUI trailer. Lt. Domenoe reported he is looking into a grant for funding a DUI trailer and possible alternatives. Lt. Domenoe reported that the Police Department had purchased, in conjunction with the Explorer Post, a golf cart equipped with police lights to be used at special events. FIRE CHIEFS REPORT None given. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Perry expressed concern about unsafe lane changes on Winchester Road at Ynez Road, people turning left at Ynez Road onto Winchester Road trying to get over into the far right lane to get onto northbound 1-15. Lt. Domenoe responded that it is being patrolled. Commissioner Johnson inquired about the installation of delineators on Ynez Road at the southerly driveway of Palm Plaza. Commissioner Perry stated it has been re-stripped but that it is still an unsafe right lane. Commissioner Guerriero inquired as to installing an island on Cosmic Drive in conjunction with the signal construction. Joseph Kicak responded that City Council gave staff direction to proceed with design of islands on Cosmic Drive and Humber Drive but this would not be complete in time for installation with the traffic signal. Staff is looking at alternatives and as soon as information is available, will go to City Council with an estimated cost which will include islands, landscaping, and irrigation provided the Villages and Starlight Ridge Home Owners Associations accept maintenance responsibility. MINUTES:6/27/96 6 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 27. 1996 Commissioner Guerriero inquired about looking into a possible crosswalk on Rancho Vista Road adjacent to the Community Recreation Center. If the number of pedestrians currently justify the installation of a signalized crosswalk. He asked staff to look into a right turn only lane for eastbound Winchester Road at Jefferson Avenue. Commissioner Guerriero also requested an update on the seven (7) flashing yellow signals for schools. Mr. Kicak responded that these signals are in the FY96-97 budget. Commissioner Coe expressed concern regarding the intersection of Pala Road at Rainbow Canyon Road. He said the increase of traffic and poor sight distance makes it difficult to make left turn from Rainbow Canyon Road onto Pala Road and asked if warrants would be met for the installation of a 4-way stop. Assistant Engineer Moghadam responded that traffic counters have been set and are looking into possible solutions for this intersection. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to adjourn the meeting at 9:25 P.M. The motion carried unanimously. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, July 25, 1996, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Main Conference Room, 43174 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Charles Coe Secretary MINUTES:6/27/96 7 ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Battalion Chief, Mark Brodowski July 25, 1996 Item 2 Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED) Units Prepared By: Tim Gose, Firefighter II, Station #73 RECOMMENDATION: That a demonstration of the Automatic Electronic De~brillator (AED) Unit be provided for the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. BACKGROUND: Each year 485,000 people will die from cardiovascular disease. Of those, 250,000 will die out of the hospital prior to receiving medical care. Of these, up to 3/4 will be in a lethal heart rhythm that can only be corrected by electronic defibrillation. Early conversion of the heart to a normal rhythm is vital in the care of cardiac patients. If a shock is given within 4-8 minutes of the persons collapse, the patient survival rate can be up to 48% when combined with CPR, oxygen, and followed by a cardiac medicalions delivered by paramedies (American Heart, 1992). The Laerdal Heartstart 3000 is a portable batlery powered semi-Automatic Electronic De~brillator (AED) unit. The initial price of the AED, spare battery, spare command module, battery charger and computer hardware for downloading the command module is $5,643.69. Additional AED units (minus the $982.14 computer hardware) are priced at $4,661.55, with spare batteries priced at $148.72 each. In addition to Emergency Medical Training, the initial training for personnel certified to operate the AED is a 3 hour video segment, followed by a 4 hour "hands-on" training class given by paramedic instructors. All personnel that are AED certified receive refresher training every 1-3 months. Currently, Engine 12, Truck 73 and Engine 84 all carry an AED for widespread coverage of the City. ITEM NO. 3 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Tim Gose, Firefighter II July 11, 1996 "Pluggie" Fire Hydrant Robot and AIM 600 Gas Detector Prepared by: Tim Gose, Firefighter II, Station #73 RECOMMENDATION: That a demonstration of the "Pluggie" Fire Hydrant Robot and AIM 600 Unit be provided for the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. BACKGROUND: "PLUGGIE" The Fire Hydrant is the newest addition to the fire prevention program, in the City of Temecula. It is a Y tall, 55 lb., fully animated, moving, fire hydrant robot that operates on a 12 volt rechargeable battery. It looks like a regular red fire hydrant when turned off Upon activation, its cap rises, eyes light up, move, wink and blink. It also speaks and listens through the use of a two way transmitter/receiver unit and headset. It has the capability to squirt water, sound a siren and play pre-recorded cassettes all by remote control. "Pluggie" cost $4,696.00, which includes unit, all remote control parts, dolly, cover and a spare battery. The unit is the first one in the Southwest Division and is kept at Rancho California, Station #73. Pluggle The Fire Hydrant- The AIM 600 is a hand held gas detector that uses atmospheric sensors to detect and alert the user to specific gas conditions. It operates on 4 'AA' batteries and weighs about 8 ounces. The unit monitors oxygen, carbon monoxide, explosive/combustible limits as well as hydrogen sul~de (sewer gases). This device can be used in confined space rescue, to monitor carbon monoxide levels when CO detectors are activated, and in the overhaul stages on structure fires to monitor gas levels. The AIM 600 cost $1,230.00, with three units available in the city. Both Battalion Chiefs have an AIM 600 and there is also one on Truck #73. ITEM NO. 4 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, Assistant Engineer July 25, 1996 Item 4 Kiwanis Club Sign Proposal RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the Kiwanis Club form a committee to establish guidelines for identifying potential sign locations through various Home Owners Associations and the proposed locations be submitted to the City for review and approval. BACKGROUND: At the January 25, 1996 Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed a proposal from the Kiwanis Club regarding installation of two (2) advisory signs on public streets. The messages on these signs are "SAFETY FIRST - BUCKLE UP" and "CAUTION - CHILDREN IN AREA - SLOW". It should be noted that these signs are not standard signs and are not recognized as such by Caltrans or the nationally used Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Several options and alternatives were discussed during the January, 1996 meeting including installation of seat belt signs at school driveways, installation on the existing street light poles, installation on the existing flashing lights and on private property. Since no specific recommendation was made at the January, 1996 meeting on this issue, this item is being presented to the Commission once more. With the Commissions approval, City staff, in cooperation with the Kiwanis Club, could identify a few key locations for installation of the safety belt signs. However, all aspects of the "CAUTION - CHILDREN IN AREA - SLOW" sign must be carefully evaluated as this sign will set precedent and its installation will be requested throughout the City. Also extreme caution should be exercised to avoid giving a wrong impression to the parents and residents that children playing in public streets is an acceptable behavior. Consideration should also be given to the fact that installation of this sign could present a false sense of security to parents who may allow their children to use public streets as a playground. Staff recommends that the Kiwanis Club and HOA's develop a policy acceptable to both regarding the sign installation. This policy would be subject to approval by this Commission. Staff further recommends that the request for these signs be initiated by the Home Owners Associations (HOA) through the Kiwanis Club and the proposed locations, on local residential streets, be submitted to the City for review and approval. The cost of the signs and their installation shall be borne by the HOA's and/or the Kiwanis Club. City staff will cooperate with the Kiwanis Club and HOA's in identifying the appropriate locations for the signs. FISCAL IMPACT: None Attachment: Ianuan/25, 1996 Public/Traffic Safety Commission Agenda Report and Minutes TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Marty Lauber, Traffic Engineer January 25, 1996 Item 3 Kiwanis Club Sign Proposal RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission consider a proposal from the local Kiwanis Club to supply public safety signs for City installation. BACKGROUND: On November 15, 1995 the Director of Public Works received a letter from the Kiwanis Club of Temecnia Valley regarding safety signs within the public fight-of-way. A copy of that letter is attached and s~mrnarized below. The local Kiwanis Club is looking for guidance in selecting a way to improve safety within Temecula. One ides they had was to post signs advocating the use of passenger restraint systems in automobiles and to alert drivers to the presence of children in specific areas. Samples of the two (2) signs have been supplied to the Traffic Division and will be on display at our meeting. The Kiwanis Club should be recognized for their contributions to the community in regard to the support of our seat belt check points and future donations of child safety seats to the Temecula Police Department. These seats will be placed in patrol units facilitating transport of children by a patrol unit at the scene. Please keep in mind the studies that show the diminishing return on effectiveness of these types of non- standard signs. The proponents have been informed that they can certainly post these signs on private property and that the Commission may have suggestions for other possible programs.

Kiwanis Club Sign ProDosal Traffic Engineer Marty Lauber shared correspondence received from the Temecula Kiwanis Club requesting approval to install signs which will remind drivers to buckle their safety belts. He also thanked the Temecula Kiwanis Club for providing safety seats to the police department for use in transporting young children. Don Meyer, representing Temecula Kiwanis, requested the Kiwanis be permitted to install seat belt check signs around the City for education in the area of safety. Commissioner Guerriero recommended the Kiwanis install them at school entrances. Don Meyer responded that the Kiwanis wanted more exposure. Commissioner Sander commented that perhaps street light posts might be the location for these signs. Traffic Engineer Lauber pointed out that the City ordinance required only one sign per post, therefore, a precedent should not be set. Chairman Coe stated that he would like to research this request before a recommendation is made. Commission Perry commented that the flashing lights at school sites might be a good location for the signs. Commissioner Sander stated that perhaps this should be on the agenda for the next meeting. Traffic Engineer Lauber recommended the Kiwanis Club research locating the signs at school entrances or other private locations. 4. Parking Restriction on Pujol Street Traffic Engineer Lauber shared slides depicting the apartment building on the corner of Pujol Street where 65' of red curb is recommended. The property manager has been contacted and supports this restriction. ITEM NO. 5 AGENDA REPORT TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission FROM: Ali Moghadam, Assistant Engineer DATE: July 25, 1996 SUBJECT: Item 5 "All-Way Stop" - Rustic Glen Drive and Oak Cliff Drive; and Rustic Glen Drive and Stone Gate Drive RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny the request for installation of speed bumps and "All-Way Stops" at the intersection of Rustic Glen Drive and Oak Cliff Drive; and the intersection of Rustic Glen Drive and Stone Gate Drive. BACKGROUND: The City received a request to install speed bumps, and to establish "All-Way Stops" at the above mentioned intersections. The "All-Way Stops" and speeds bumps were requested to control speed of vehicles along Rustic Glen Drive. Since these two (2) intersections share similar characteristics the speed and volume date was collected only at the intersection of Rustic Glen Drive and Oak Cliff Drive. Rustic Glen Drive is a 44 foot wide residential street within the Winchester Creek and Winchester Collection developments. 25 MPH speed limit signs are currently posted at the entrances to these tracts at Margarita Road and at Winchester Road. The California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual has established four (4) criteria for the consideration of multi-way "Stops". These requirements are as follows: 1. Minimum Traffic Volumes a. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day, and; The combined vehicle and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor sweet vehicular traffic of at least 30 second per vehicle during the maximum hour, but; e. When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include right- turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. Where lraffie signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal installations. 4. School area traffic control recommendations/warrants. Traffic volumes and speed data was collected to evaluate these locations for installation of an "All-Way Stop". The following is a summary of the analysis. a. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 176 as compared to 500 needed to meet this portion of the warrant. b. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages 31 during the same eight (8) hours as above, and the pedestrian volume is not sufficient to meet the 200 minimum vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight (8) hours. 2. No accidents have been reported at these locations from May 1, 1995 to May 1, 1996, as compared to five (5) needed to meet this warrant. 3. A traffic signal is not warranted at this intersection. 4. This intorsection is not a designated school crossing. Since these intersections do not meet the warrant requirements for installation of an "All-Way Stop", staff recommends that the request for "All-Way Stop" installation be denied. Our analysis of the speed data indicated an average speed of 28 MPH and a 851h percenlile speed of 33 MPH on Rustic Glen Drive near Oak Cliff Drive. Speeds in excess of the 851h percentile speed were recorded with a low frequency; however, the occasional speeders are not unique to this neighborhood and therefore, speed bumps are not recommended at this location.

Intersection one(l); is Rustic Glen\Stone Gate and intersection two(2); Rustic Glen\Oak Cliff. Myself and adjoining neighbors have several times have had to call ~he police complaining about traffic exceding the twenty-five(25) MPM speed limit. The common response from the police dept. is "there are a lot of streets like this in town and w~ aren't staffed adequately robe at them all, call CiCy~ll." It seems the police department is under~taf'fed'to efficiently monitor this situation in order to establish the severe nature of this problem. I further understand that: (A) when the widening cosstruction begins on Winchester Road, the only other access to Winchester Creek and Winohester Collection will be closed offr and (b)eventually Rustic Glen will he opened up to Winchester P~. Am I in error with these facts? If not, this will be adding fuel to the fire, worsening an already bad situation. There has been two accidents on this street due to too short of a sight distance compounded by excess speed along Rustic Glen, (neither of which was reported) that I am aware of. This is a neighborhuod will, young children,' interseCtiOn one as mentioned is a school bus stop. Hopefully it willnot take a child getting hit to get a positive resolution to this problem. A step sign at these inter~eotions or speed bumps along Rustic Glen, I would think would be less costly tothe citythax2 having the:police continually called.out. If it is necessary for the people of the neighborhood to bring this matter before city council, please let me know the steps we need to pursue to get results. Your attentiun [o this matter is greatly appreciated. ~ncerely, JanerS~h~ ITEM NO. 6 AGENDA REPORT TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission FROM: Ali Moghadam, Assistant Engineer,~9,~ DATE: July 25, 1996 SUBJECT: Item 6 "All-Way Stop" - Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny the request to establish an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road. BACKGROUND: The City received a rexlue~ to study the feasibility of an "All-Way Stop" installation at the intersection of Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road. Pala Road between State Route 79(S) and Wolf Valley Road is designated as a six (6) lane urban arterial on the City of Temecula Circulation Element of the General Plan. Rainbow Canyon Road is designated as a four (4) lane secondary roadway. Curren~y, Pala Road between SR 79(S) and Rainbow Canyon Road is a two (2) lane undivided roadway with a narrow bridge north of Rainbow Canyon Road. The existing stop signs at the intersection of SR 79(S) and Pala Road result in traffic to back- up on Pala Road which extends to Rainbow Canyon Road during the peak hours. This situation could make left-turn out of Rainbow Canyon Road difficult. However, installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of SR 79(S) and Pala Road which is currently under construction, should reduce the delay at this intersection and improve the traffic flow on Pala Road and at the intersection of Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road. The posted speed limit on Pala Road between SR 79(S) and Clubhouse Drive is 35 MPH. The California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual has established four (4) criteria for the consideration of multi-way "Stops'. These requirements are as follows: 1. Minimum Traffic Volumes a. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day, and; The combined vehicle and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 second per vehicle during the maximum hour, but; c. When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include fight- turn and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, ~he multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal installations. 4. School area Waffle control recommendations/warrants. Traffic volume data was collected to evaluate this location for installation of an "All-Way Stop". The following is a summary of the analysis. a. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 1,206 as compared to 500 needed to meet this portion of the warrant. b. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages 151 during the same eight (8) hours as above, and the pedestrian volume is not sufficient to meet the 200 minimum vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight (8) hours. Two (2) accidents have been reported at this location from May i, 1995 to May 1, 1996, as compared to five (5) needed to meet this warrant. Both accidents resulted in property damage only and one (1) accident involved driving under the influence. 3. A traffic signal is not warranted at this intersection. 4. This intersection is not a designated school crossing. Since this intersection does not meet the warrant requirements for installation of an "All-Way Stop", staff recommends that the request for "All-Way Stop" installation be denied at this time and this intersection be monitored following the traffic signal installation at the intersection of SR 79(S) and Pala Road.

Part One Crime statistics are broken down by individual districts within the City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and alding in planning police resource deployment. The Police Department issued 346 traffic citations last month, which compares with 380 issued in June of 1995. The number of traffic collisions remained consistent with that reported last year. Temecula experienced no fatal traffic collisions in June. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol decreased from June of 1995. Reported burglaries increased from last year, while reported grand thefts, felony assaults and auto thefts decreased. These changes are not viewed as statistically significant. Total arrests made during the month declined over 1995. The Police Department responded to thirty eight "priority one" calls for service during the month of June, with an average response time of slightly over six minutes. A total of 2,170 calls for police service were generated in the City of Temecula during the month. The Police Department's Special Enforcement Team made twenty five arrests for narcotics related offenses last month, and wrote and served two search warrants. The Team seized methamphetamine and marijuana with an estimated street value exceeding 3,500 dollars. ~Printed c/rl Recycled Paper POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY June, 1996 The Police Department's two School Resource Officers completed twenty five reports that would otherwise have been assigned to patrol officers. They made six arrests and returned thirteen truants to their respective campuses. The Police Depanment's two crime prevention officers conducted fifty seven business checks last month. One article concerning crime prevention for the disabled was written for the July edition of the Valley Business Journal. During the month, Officers Keyin Rupe and Mike Roberts engaged in surveillance and dose patrol in areas suffering from a recent increase in graffiti vandalism. They developed sources of information, and conducted numerous field interviews of individuals thought to have knowledge of the identities of suspects responsible for the vandalism. Enforcement action was taken. This short term program, which would not have been successful without the support and assistance of the the Public Works Department, has certainly not solved Temecula' s grattiti problem. However, it resulted in a significant decrease in graffiti vandalism throughout central Temecula last month. As a result, graffiti clean up expenditures declined sharply from prior months. Volunteers from the community continue to be an integral part of the Temecula Police Department's staff.. Under the guidance of volunteer coordinator Ed Bekas, the Police Department's volunteer staff contributed 442 hours of service in June.

Ronald Bradley, City Manager Mary Jane McLarney, Assistant City Manager Re> TEMECULA FIRE SERVICES June 1996 Activity Report The following reflects the monthly fire suppression and fire prevention activity of your fire department for the month of June. Over 1,400 citizens were contacted this month through school presentations, static displays, and fire station / engine tours. These events are used to continually educate the general public and children on fire safety issues and the city fire department operations in general. This has begun as one of the most active and challenging fire seasons in the past 6 or 7 years in Southern California. The number of fires started, the fire sizes, and damage sustained at this point in the season is very much above both last year' s statistics and the CDF five year comparison average. Overall, locally we had few significant fires in Temecula for the month of June. June lst., some city engines assisted county engines on a 1 acre by 15 feet high compost fire at Agriscape on Borel off of Winchester Road. Numerous fire engines and a CDF bulldozer was called in to cut a path in the pile to separate the burning portion of the 5 acre pile from the unburned portion. The fire made several attempts to spread into the adjacent widland brush but fire crews stopped the spread immediately. The owner was very cooperative and hired 2 water trucks and a large bulldozer to take over the operations from the fire department. These types of fires are very labor intensive to mop up and the owner did an excellent job mopping up all night, freeing fire resources to return to regular response duties. On June 3rd., there was a 2 acre fire in the common area of Meadowview. Since the property owner's association cut good fire breaks around the area, damage was minimal, though some decorative flowers, trees, and shrubs were scorched. One horse in a pipe corral was rescued from the heat and smoke by the weed abatement tractor driver whose mower struck a rock which ignited the blaze. Our first fire in the Pechanga / Pala Road area was on June 8th and was held to 20 acres. Though a portion of the fire was in a mowed field, it was still very hard to control due to the harsh burning conditions that day. On June 15, we assisted the City of Murrieta with a 2 ~PrinTed or, Recycled Paper ~0 .'\ ,! car collision on NB I-15 near Murrieta Hot Spring Road. There was one fatality at the incident. On June 20th, we assisted the City of Murrieta with a brush fire within the Murrieta boundary. Murrieta pays CDF an annual subscription fee to protect the wildland fringe areas of the city since their resources are limited. The fee paid for itself this year as the specialized tools such as dozers, aircraft, and handcrews would have cost the Murrieta much more if a contract was not already in effect. The fire was contained at 120 acres with no structures damaged, however many acres of vineyards were scorched and many homes were threatened. This fire was under a joint Murrieta / CDF command structure. There were 25 fire engines assigned to this fire. It is very important that all neighboring fire agencies work together for the benefit of their citizens in a cost effective manner. This incident demonstrated that type of cooperation. I wish to thank you very much for all of your support. Also, as you know, we lost one of our favorite, hard working Temecula firefighters recently when he was killed in a traffic collision. Kenny Schmutz was a true professional and loved working in Temecula and serving it's citizens. He had even made a request that he be buried in Temecula! To all who grieved with us and gave the Schmutz family and our fire staff your love and support, THANK YOU! It helped us get through this very trying time. J. M.
