PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ms. Rebecca Weersing. 41775 Yorba Avenue. expressed concern over the following traffic issues:
· Driveways at the Sports Park are not well illuminated as tree branches cover the lights;
· Entrances to City Hall and Creek Street Mall at Front Street are not well illuminated;
· Front Street striping between Old Town and Hwy 795 is I:aded and difficult to see.
· Exiting Town Center North (unto Ynez Road) is difficult because of parking lot design and
the three (3) stop signs.
· At night it is very difficult tn see bicycle riders who wear dark clothing and ride bikes with
no reflectors.
It was noted by Chairman Telesio that the proposed internal/external circulation solutions tbr the Town
Center have been suspended until a determination of the effect of a signal at Via Las Colinas is made,
which would be about six (6) months afi. er the signal installation.
Sergeant Damagio stated that bikes are required to have reflectors on the back and that this
requirement is being enforced.
Placing reflective arrows indicating in and out at the Sports Park's entrances will be investigated by
Senior Engineer Moghadam and he as well noted that he would notify the Maintenance Department of
the overhanging branches.

The nomination was seconded by
The nomination was
Caltrans has adjusted the signal clocks at Winchester Road and Jefferson Avenue and that
traffic flow has improved.
Bids fi~r the signal project at Via Las Colinas were opened December 10, 1998, and that
the proiect should be awarded at the next City Council meeting.
· Southbound off-ramp improvements at Winchester Road are being designed.
· Proposed striping tier the northbound loop at Winchester Road will provide a second lane
which will allow a motorist to either enter the loop or go straight.
Deputy Director Parks report~ that the sidewalk pruject on the west side of Margarita Road between
Rancho Vista and Pauba Roads will start after the first of the year.
To eliminate the ordering period ti~r signal mast arms and hardware aRer a signal project has been
awarded, Deputy Directur Parks reported that the City has pre-purchased the equipment so as soon as
the signal project will be awarded, installation may begin.
It was suggested by Commissioner Connerton that once the restripping of Winchester and Ynez Roads
has been completed, consideration be given to relocating a sign which has one side in the sidewalk and
blocks the signal tier eastbound traffic.
In response to Commissioner Connerton's inquiry about the status of the crosswalk on Margarita Road
and Paseo Brillante. Senior Engineer Moghadam reported that a memo was sent from Public Works
Direcrier Kicak to the City Manager regarding the removal since the matter did not need to be review~
by Ihe City Council. However. because the sidewalk has been there tk~r many years. the City Manager
indicated that he wotdd be discussing the matter int~rmally with City Councilmembers.
Comn~issioner Edwards stated that she received a call requesting that the crosswalk remain until the
signal goes in at Stonewood Road. As the signal will not be installed until 2000, Chairman Telesio
expressed the opinion that the crosswalk removal should not be delayS.
In response to Chairman Telesio's inquiry about accelerating the installation of a signal at Pauba and
Margarita Roads, Senior Engineer Moghadam stated that since ~e equipment has been orderS, staff
would ti~rther expedite the signal installatkm by expediting the design process.

Item 2
Short Term Circulation Improvement Projects
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission review and provide input regarding prioritization of short term
circulation improvement projects.
BACKGROUND:
The City is currently in the process of finalizing the Circulation Element Update Study. This study has
identified several circulation improvement projects which have been divided into three (3) categories. Short
term projects include projects that could be completed within five (5) years, mid-term projects within five (5)
to ten (10) years, and long term projects more than ten (10) years. These projects have been identified and
prioritized based on an input from the Circulation Element Steering Committee.
Mr. Bob Davis of Wilbur Smith Associates will provide a report on the short term circulation improvement
projects. Any input from the Commission will be incorporated into the document prior to the Joint Planning
and Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting scheduled for January 20, 1999.

Item 3
Request for Traffic Flow Modifications - Los Ranchitos Area
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny a request to establish a 10,000 pound weight limit on all
streets within the Los Ranchitos area.
BACKGROUND:
The City received a letter from the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association (HOA) to review and modify the
existing traffic control devices within the Los Ranchitos Community (copy attached).
At the April 9, 1998 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission reviewed a request
from the Los Ranchitos HOA which included installation of a "Stop" sign on Ynez Road at Jedediah Smith
Road, reduced speed limit on Ynez Road and DePortola Road, establishing Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith
Road as one-way streets, and restricting left-turns out of Rancho Community Church driveways.
After receiving input from the residents of the area, the Commission recommended installation of "Stop" signs
on Ynez Road at Jedediah Smith Road and denied the requests for lowering the posted speed limit, establishing
one-way streets, and left-turn restxiction out of Rancho Community Church (Exhibit "A"). Staff believes that
these recommendations are still valid and justified. In addition, since according to the recent letter from the
HOA there are "some doubts about the accuracy of the earlier studies', we recommend that the HOA hire its
own consultant to conduct the speed surveys and volume counts to verify the accuracy of the previous data.
Since the speed studies are conducted using a radar gun, what has appeared to the residents to be a speed
survey was a volume count conducted by the City's consultant by means of installing tubes on the roadway
(copy attached).
At the September 10, 1998 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission recommended
that the flashing warning lights and the right-turn lane on Ynez Road at La Paz Street not be implemented. This
recommendation was based on an actual turning movement count and the fact that there were no reported
accidents within a 12 month period at this intersection.
Some of the concerns identified in the letter dated December 8, 1998, such as repaving of streets in the Los
Ranchitos area and the enforcement issues have been forwarded to appropriate departments. Our research
indicated that the majority of the streets in Los Ranchitos have been identified as a priority and will be included
in the Capital Improvement Program ti3r future resurfacing.
r:\waffic\commhsn\agenda\99\011499\LosRanchitos/ajp
In regards to establishing a weight limit on all streets within Los Ranchitos to discourage their use by tour
busses, it should be noted that Ynez Road, DePortola Road, La Paz SWeet and Jedediah Smith Road are all
circulation streets and are designated as secondat3, 4-tane roadways on the Circulation Element of the General
Plan. Therefore, these streets are not considered to be residential streets. The construction on Hwy. 79 South
between Bedford Court and Avenida De Mission is scheduled to begin in February of this year with an
anticipated completion time of one (1) year. Widening of Hwy. 79 South should reduce the number of vehicles
using Ynez Road as an alternate route.
Regarding the striping modifications on Ynez Road and DePortola Road, the City will consider restriping these
roadways to improve safety when they are resurfaced.

December 8. 1998
Dear Commissioners,
As an elected representative of the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association, I am writing
this letter as a follow-up to our letter of November 25, 1997 regarding traffic matters in
oar community. The Board of Directors has received a number of inquires regarding
traffic in Los Ranchitos and many have asked the Board to contact the city on their
behalf.
At the City Traffic Commission meeting o~ J).tty 9, 1998, the Comnnssion decided to
place stop signs at the intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz. and construct a right turn
lane for traffic turning from S/B on Ynez Road to W/B on La Paz. We were impressed
with the quickness in which the stop signs were put up and the extra effort put into the
transition period for the safety of those motorists using that intersection. However, it has
been several months now and we have seen no evidence of preparation for the
construction of the right turn lane or the installation of the flashing warning lights for the
upcoming stop. We recently had yet another very serious accident at that intersection and
are deeply concerned about what progress is being made to make that location as safe as
possible. Can you give us a projected completion date on that project?
Our members have observed that over the past few months. there have been a large
number of "tour buses" using Ynez as a route from the 15 Freeway to the Pachanga
Casino. As this is a residential street. it seems as if this should be an illegal use of the
roadway. We ~vould like to have all the streets within Los Ranchitos posted with weight
limits of I0,000 pounds and then have the Police Department enforce those postings.
At the same time, our Association had requested that the City consider lowering the
posted speed along Ynez and DePortola. At that time. there were some studies that
indicated there was no need to do so. We have observed that subsequent to that meeting.
the City did in fact do some additional speed studies along Ynez and DePortola. Could
you please supply us with a copy of those studies along with the prior ones. Several
members of the Board live on that street and had some doubts about the accuracy of the
earlier studies and consequently have high interest in the new'data. '
Many of the streets within Los Ranchitos are in deplorable condition and need to be
repaved. Some have been patched time and time again: but. continue to deteriorate with
time and usage. Could you have someone provide us with a schedule which delineates
the projected dates for the repaving of those streets within the Los Ranchitos community.
Of particular importance is the schedule for Ynez and De Ponoia.
There are a number of streets that have no dividing lines painted on them. If they are
scheduled to be repaved very soon. then we understand the time delay in doing so: but. if
that is not the case, we feel the ~vork should be scheduled soon. Please tell us what the
future plans are in regards to this situation.
We ask that you give consideration to construction of a "shadow lane" at various
locations along the length of Ynez Road and DePortola where the natural terrain creates
visibility restrictions for vehicles attempting to enter onto that mad from residential
driveways or intersecting streets. It is our belief that the speeds at which the North/South
traffic is able to attain, creates a more serious hazard to intersecting traffic at those points.
In our letter of November 25. 1997 we requested that La Paz be made into a one-way
street West bound and Jeddah Smith be made into a one-way street East bound. At the
July 9~ 1998 Traffic Commission meeting. the Comrmssion said they would give this
recommendation additional consideration in the future. We would appreciate
reconsideration of that recommendation in the near future. Please let me know when you
will do so. as we would like to address the decision makers on that issue.
A recem event which occurred within Los Ranchitos has us particularly concerned. On
August 9th, there was a gathering at a Los Ranchitos residence on DePonola called the
"Bikers Barbecue". (Please review attached photographs) Artentices were parking their
motorcycles and other vehicles all over the neighborhood. Some driveways were blocked
and surrounding residents became concerned about emergency ingress and egress. The
Association president received several calls and when he tried to relay these peoples
concerns to the proper authorities. was sttrprised at what he discovered. He found that
the Police Department is closed on Sundays. ARer several frustrating calls, he was told
by the field Sergeant that he needed to call the County Sheriffs Department as Los
Ranchitos was an unincorporated area and not pan of the City of Temecula. As can be
seen in the photographs, an officer tinally did arrive: but. did not take any action. He
merel.v stood by and watched the bikers direct there o~vn traffic as they saw fit.
There must be a way to ensure that every member of the Police Department is aware that
we are pan ofTemecula. I think it would be difficult to explain to the citizens why
someone was seriously injured or died while a debate was taking place over jurisdictional
boundary lines.
Thank you for your assistance. As you know. we are quite proud of our community and
want to do everything we can to make it a safe and functional environment to live in. It is
our hope that the City of Temecula will continue to work ~vith the Association Board of
Directors to do so. Please respond to me regarding the issues outlined in this letter.
Sincerely,
'~mest ~ ge~

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING
OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
APRIL 9, 1998
A regular meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order
on Thursday, April 9, 1998, 6:00 P.M., at the City Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park
Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Telesio called the meeting to order.
PRESENT: COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coe
Also present were of Public Works Senior Engineer All Moghadam, Police Sergeant Rodney
Crisp, Assistant Engineer Hasib Baha, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle, and Minute Clerk Pat
Kelley.
Commissioner Markham led the flag salute.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chairman Telesio called for public comments on non-agenda items.
Jim Caldwell, 30260 Cabrillo Avenue, asked the Commission to reduce the speed limit on
Cabrillo Avenue to 25 MPH because of its narrow width, and restricted visibility at the
intersection of E. Vallejo and Cabrillo Avenues.
Commissioner Markham noted Cabrillo Avenue's speed limit was changed from 55 MPH to 35
MPH, which was according to the Vehicle Code, and Public Works had recently cleaned the
culvert at Cabrillo Avenue and John Warner and is working to clean up silt in the area.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
2. ReQuest for Traffic Control Modifications - Los Ranchitos Community
Commissioner Markham stepped down due to a conflict of interest, being a resident of
Los Ranchitos and a member of the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association.
Senior Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report.
Donald Barker, 275 Centennial Way, Suite 208, Tustin, representing Hartzog & Crabill,
Inc., stated in his traffic study for the Rancho Community Church improvements, the
number of students projected for the Church expansion would increase traffic by
approximately 580 vehicle trips per day. Approximately 23% of the Church's
parishioners who turn west onto Vallejo Avenue would be affected by a right-turn only
driveway, trips would be lengthened and the number of intersections crossed would be
increased if La Paz is made a one-way street.
Stanley Heaton, 42102 Elgin Court, representing Temecula Engineering Consultants,
supported denial of an "All-Way Stop Sign" at Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith Road,
establishing one-way streets and installing "No Left Turn" signs at the exit from Rancho
Community Church on Vallejo Avenue. Mr. Heaton stated the traffic problems
experienced in Los Ranchitos will minimize when Hwy 79(S) improvements are
completed.
James Beckley, 45560 Classic Way, representing Rancho Community Church,
supported denial of the no left-turn from the Church and establishment of one-way
streets as they would cause a hardship to parents bringing children to the church
daycare and school, and handicapped parishioners. He stated traffic improvements are
included with the expansion of the campus, to lessen the inconvenience for Church
members and the neighborhood.
Doug Johnson, 30175 Cabrillo Avenue, supported staff's recommendation on all four
(4) issues.
Pauline Nelson, 30033 DePortola Road, supported an "All-Way Stop" at Ynez Road and
Jedediah Smith Road and reducing the speed limit to 35 MPH on Ynez Road between
Santiago Road and Margarita Road. She expressed her appreciation for the recent
culvert cleaning.
Rebecca Weersing, 41775 Yorba Avenue, supported staff's recommendations, but
believes an "All-Way Stop" at Ynez Road/DePortola Road and Jedediah Smith Road is
a good idea.
Jim Caldwell, 30260 Cabrillo Avenue, suggested a "Left-Turn" lane on Ynez Road, at
Vallejo Avenue.
Diane Oakden, 39671 Cedarwood Drive, Murrieta, representing Sunshine Preschool and
Rancho Community Christian School, supported staff's recommendations.
PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 9. 1998
Carole Corazza, 44220 La Paz Street, thanked the Commission for the "Stop Sign" at La
Paz and asked if speeds in the area have changed since the installation of the "Stop
Sign". Mr. Moghadam replied there has not been any significant change in mid-block
speeds. Ms. Corazza asked if a facility, such as a library, at Santiago and Ynez Roads,
would require that a traffic survey be taken. Mr. Moghadam answered when there is
a significant change, a survey would be conducted to determine if stop signs or lower
speed limits are justified. She supported the "Stop Sign" at Jedediah Smith and Ynez
Roads.
Jack Willjams, 41640 Yorba Avenue, expressed his appreciation for the La Paz "Stop
Sign" and supported staff's recommendations.
James Dittman, 45330 Camino Monzon, representing Rancho Community Church, read
a letter from Pastor Steve Struikman, who supported staff's recommendations. Mr.
Dittman expressed his support of a "Stop Sign" at Ynez and Jedediah Smith Roads.
Donald Coop, 41755 Rider Way, representing Rancho Community Church, expressed
support for reducing the speed on Ynez Road and a "Stop Sign" at Ynez and Jedediah
Smith Roads.
Terry Gasson, 44501 Verde Drive, expressed her support of reducing the speed limit on
Ynez Road and having an "All-Way Stop" at Ynez and Jedediah Smith Roads. She
suggested 35 MPH might be a safer speed limit for Ynez Road and proposed the
church's ingress/egress needs be studied because their increased traffic impacts the
people living near the church.
Curt .Carlson, 30230 DePortola Road, supported a four-way "Stop Sign" at Ynez and
Jedediah Smith Roads, and reducing the speed limit.
Victor Jones, 30655 DePortola, representing Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association,
stated the Association had received the issues discussed tonight from various Los
Ranchitos homeowners and the Association had wanted to meet with City and Church
staffs to discuss the concerns and possible solutions prior to bringing the matter to the
Commission. He requested the matter be kept open. Mr. Moghadam stated the report
was sent to the Homeowners Association and this is the proper forum for a discussion.
Commissioner Johnson noted traffic on both intersecting streets must meet warrants
and asked about the number of accidents at Ynez and Jedediah Smith Roads. Sgt. Crisp
stated he did not have any statistics with him. Commissioner Johnson pointed out an
accident of less than $500, with no injury, is reported to DMV only and the City is not
notified. He is concerned about the increase of traffic in the area and supported a 4-
way "Stop Sign" at Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith Road.
Commissioner Perry stated he drives the route several times a day and has not
personally observed a problem accessing Ynez Road from Jedediah Smith Road. He
noted Ynez Road is considered an arterial street, not a residential street and the City of
Temecula receives federal and state funding for transportation projects. He expressed
support of staff's recommendations.
PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 9. 1998
Chairman Telesio stated warrants are guidelines only and the City Council has the option
to designate a "Stop Sign" anywhere. He supported a "Stop Sign" at Ynez and Jedediah
Smith Roads. Chairman Telesio remarked this is the correct forum for discussing the
issues. He supported staff recommendations regarding the denial of a lower speed limit,
the one-way streets and the no left-turn signs at Rancho Community Church.
It was moved by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Chairman Telesio, to recommend
the City Council approve the installation of an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of
Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith Road and to deny the requests to reduced the posted
speed limit to 35 MPH on Ynez Road between Santiago Road and Margarita Road, to
establish La Paz Street as "One-Way" toward Hwy 79(S) and Jedediah Smith Road as
"One-Way" toward Ynez Road and DePortola Road and to install "No Left-Turn" signs
at the exit from Rancho Community Church on Vallejo Avenue.
The motion carried as follows:
AYES:

TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT
Mr. Moghadam reported the Intelligent Traffic Management System's equipment is
almost entirely connected and he will provide a tour for the Commissioners in the near
future.
Mr. Moghadam asked the Commissioners for their input regarding the draft street sign
standards. Commissioner Markham stated there should not be any variability regarding
glued/painted letters. Commissioner Johnson noted reflectivity life and level as well as
the life of the sign should be necessary specifications.
Mr. Moghadam announced a joint City Council and Public/Traffic Safety Commission
meeting to be held June 16, 1998. Commissioner Markham suggested meeting in the
Conference Room around a table would be a more productive setting than Council
Chambers.
Commissioner Markham requested a current list of signals and their priority, those under
design, and in the CIP. Mr. Moghadam stated staff is working on the list and the only
signal being recommended for the next fiscal year is one at Margarita and Pauba Roads,
which will have the highest priority.
Commissioner Markham asked if Commissioner Perry's letter to Councilmember Ford
regarding pre-application or design review by this Commission could be agendized for
the joint meeting as there are concerns about this Commission's review delaying the
approval process.

Item 2
Request for Traffic Control Modifications - Los Ranchitos Community
RECOMMENDATION:
That ~he Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny a request to:
1. Establish an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith Road
2. Reduce the posted speed limit m 35 MPH on Ynez Road between Santiago Road and Margarita Road
3. Establish La Paz Street as "One-Way" toward SR79(S) and Jedediah Smith Road as "One-Way"
toward Ynez Road/DePortola Road
4. Install "No Left Turn" signs at exit driveways from Rancho Community Church to Vallejo Avenue
BACKGROUND:
The City received a letter from the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association requesting the Public/Traffic
Safety Commission consider the above mentioned traffic control modifications. Staff has conducted an
extensive study of the area traffic flow and has analyzed all of the requested modifications. The following
provides a brief summary of our analysis and recommendations for each item.
1. "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Ynez Road and Jedediah Smith Road
Currently, Ynez Road is a 44 foot wide roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 MPH. Jedediah
Smith Road is a 24 foot wide roadway and the speed limit is posted at 40 MPH north of Ynez Road.
Two (2) accidents have been reported at this intersection from March, 1996 to March, 1997.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Traffic Manual identifies three (3) criteria
for installation of "All-Way Stop" signs. These warrants include urgent need for a traffic signal,
accidents susceptible to correction by installation of "Stop" signs and traffic volumes. Caltrans
warrants are guidelines that are utilized by most agencies throughout the State of California.
Adhering to these guidelines allows uniformity and reduces liability potentials. The Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) and Caltrans also discourage use of "Stop" signs for speed control.
Since this intersection did not satisfy any of the warrants, installation of an "All-Way Stop" is not
recommended.
2. Speed limit reduction on Ynez Road and DePortola Road from 45 and 50 MPH to 35 MPH
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that speed limits (other than prima facie speeds such
as Residence District, School Zones, etc.) be justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey. An
Engineering and Traffic Survey, among other things, consists of measurement of prevailing speeds,
review of accident history and roadside conditions not readily apparent to a driver. In addition to the
previous speed studies, staff conducted a new speed survey to determine if a lower speed limit could
be justified for Ynez Road and DePortola Road with installation of the new "All-Way Stop" at the
intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz Street. The new speed surveys did not indicate a change in
the overall speed. Therefore, a reduced speed limit on Ynez Road/DePortola Road is neither
justifiable nor recommended. An arbitrary speed limit which is not justified by an Engineering and
Traffic Survey constitutes a "Speed Trap" and is difficult to enforce. Without enforcement a lower
posted speed limit does not reduce the overall speed on a given street and could result in increased
number of accidents due to inconsistency in traveling speeds and unsafe passing.
Establishing La Paz Street as "One-Way" toward SR79(S) and Jedediah Smith as "One-Way"
toward Ynez Road/DePortola Road
AlthouL, h we understand the objective of this recommendation, we are not convinced that the proposed "One-
Wa.x' streets will accomplish the objective of reducing the "cut-through" traffic. The morning peak hour
traffic on SR79(S) still could turn on Jedediah Smith Road to get to Ynez Road and the evening peak hour
traffic could turn from Ynez Road to La Paz Street to get to SR79(S). It should be noted that "One-Way"
street systems are generally established to increase capacity of a roadway system and not to impede traffic and
discourage use.
4. No "Left-Turn" signs out of the Rancho Community Church on Vallejo Avenue
According to the letter, this recommendation was made to eliminate congestion and a perceived unsafe situation
at the intersection of Ynez Road and Vallejo Avenue (north) when making a left turn. Our records indicate
one (1) reported accident from January, 1992 to March, 1998 at this intersection. Therefore, it does not
appear that left turns at this intersection create an unsafe condition. Also, by eliminating left-turns at the
church driveways, the vehicles exiting the church and making a right-turn could continue on Vallejo Avenue
going south and make a lefi-turn at the intersection of Ynez Road and Vallejo Avenue (south). Therefore the
suggested "No Lefi-Turn" signs do not eliminate left-turus onto Ynez Road. The proposed turning restriction
would also inconvenience the residents of the area to the north of the church who attend this church and force
them to either disobey the signs or travel a long loop to access their homes.
However, during our analysis of this request we noticed that making a left-turn out of driveway "C' in Exhibit
"B" is difficult due to a horizontal curve (crest) just south of this driveway. Staff recommends that this
driveway be modified by the church to either an entrance only or exits from this driveway be restricted to
right-turn oniy. In lieu of the modifications to this driveway, the existing "No Parking" zone south of driveway
"C" can be extended to improve the visibility of approaching cars from the south.
In summary, since the requested modifications are not warranted, staff recommends that they be denied. It
shonid also be noted that Ynez Road, DePortola Road, La Paz Street and Jedediah Smith Road are identified
as circulation streets on the City's General Plan. All these streets are public roads, publicly maintained and
are for use of the general public.
We anticipated that the improvements on SR79(S) will reduce the "cut-through" traffic within the Los
Ranchitos Community. Meanwhile staff will continue to monitor the intersection of Ynez Road/DePortola
Road with Jedediah Smith Road, and consider installation of an "All-Way Stop" when the traffic conditions
warrant it.

Subject: Traffic recommendations for the Los Ranchitos Community.
Gentlemen,.
Thank you for the oppommity to present our views on the traffic control needs for the Los
Ranchitos community.. The board of directors has been working on this problem for several
months and considerable thought has been given to the needs of the entire community. We have
attempted to be ever mindful of the cost of our recommendations and balance them with the
possible cost of human tragedy if certain actions am not taken. We are truly sadalerted by the
death and injuries which have occurred recently at the intersection of LaPaz and Ynez which
unfortunately has created a sense of urgency to the situation.
As you know Los Ranchitos has been and continues to be considered "Horse Propore."' with
relatively high propert>.' values and minimum acreage lots. The CC&R's contain specific
language that is desired to maintain that destination within the ~eater Temecula area.
Numerous residents within Los Ranchitos take advantage of the ability m keep horses and use
the trails and roadsides for their riding pleasure. The major t~'ough street, Ynes Road/De Portola
Road, also has a bike lane along a ~eat deal of it which is used frequently by cyclists and
joggers. Both of these things, while extremely difficult to calculate, add to the traffic safe .ty
problems within Los Ranchitos boundaries.
After much thought and concern for the overall traffic safety within our community., the Los
Ranchitos Homeowners Association would like to make the following recommendations for
your consideration.
1. Place 4 way stop signs at the intersection of Ynez Road and Jexlediah Smith Road.
Discussion
Based on the commissions recommendations during the November 20'~ meeting, the intersection
of Ynez Road and La Paz Street will become a 3-way stop with other engineering changes that
will elevate a Southbound queue for those vehicles turning right onto La Paz. That was m be one
of our recommendations to go along with # 1 above. Since the commission has already seen fit to
take action at La Paz and Ynez for all the same reasons.
2. Reduce the posted speed limit on Ynez Road to 35 MPH between Santiago Road and
Margarita.
Discussion
We recognize that this area of the city. had been historically viewed as rother rural and a higher
than normal residential speed was considered acceptable. Our position is that cimumstances
have changed dramatically during the last 8-10 years. We are now completely surrounded by a
large number of high density residential areas with no end in sight for continued construction to
the South and East of Los Ranchitos. Due to the bottle-neck conditions along Highway 79 a high
number of these new residents have chosen to use Ynez Road to "bypass" HWY 79 between
Margarita and Rancho California. This gives them quicker access to Interstate 15 in the morning
and a quicker route home in the evening. The traffic survey numbers substantiate this
understandable adjuslment in their driving patterns.
It is a well established fact that drivers will adjust their driving mutes and habits to the path of
least resistance. Unfortunately for the residents of Los Ranchitos, that adjustment has brought
them directly through the middle of our small community.. We believe that if the control d~vices
discussed in #1 above are in place and the speed limit is lowered and made consistent along
Ynez/De Portoh, the "bypass" traffic will be reduced because it will be less efficient for those
drivers objectives.
Ynez and De Ponola are the only means by which most Los Ranchitos residents can either enter
or leave this community. With the existing posted speed limits and the typically higher speeds
being driven, this communities' residents are forced to enter a freemy like environment without
benefit of on ramps. As the population grows, so does the danger.
We reco~i2e that many people will not understand the need to reduce the speed along Ynez and
De Ponola to 35 MPH because it has the general appearance of wide open space due to the low
population density: however, in reality it is still just a residential area and should be given
consideration as such.
J. Change La Paz St. to 'One-Way" Westbound (toward HWY 79) and Jedediah Smith Rd.
To ``One-Way" Eastbound toward Ynez Rd. & De Portola Rd.
Discussion
By making the change in the flow of traffic a number of things might be accomplished. The rafttic
in both directious on Ynez wishing to turn onto La Paz would be able to negotiate their respective
turning movements more quickly, thus avoiding the Engineering depa~iments concerns about
queuing problems at the intersection~ The left turn lane and the left turn tri-light si~l phase at La
Paz and HWY 79 could be eliminated and the Southbound queuing problem at HWY 79 at La Paz
could be transferred further South on HWY 79 to where Jeclediah Smith intersects for traffic
entering into Los Ranchitos community.
4. Post "No Left Turn" signs at the exits from Rancho Community. Church entering onto
Vailejo St.
Discussion
For some time now the traffic coming from the church onto Vallejo Ave. Northbound has been
creating severe congestion both on Vallejo and at the intersection of Vallejo and Ynez Road.
IVfany of them want to turn left Northbound on Ynez Rd. Which agnin creates a hazardous left
turning movement. Being able to turn left only or Southbound on Vallejo and then again only
Westbound on La Paz (due to La Paz now being one way), these vehicles would be making right
turmng movements (much safer) at each of the intersections not controlled by a tri-light s/~nnl
until they reach FBVY 79. This would also reduce the number of out of the area vehicles moving
through Los Ranchitos. For those parishioners that are residents of Los Ranchitos, they could enter
again at Jedecliah Smith through conttrolled intersections. We feel that this recommendation has
merit even as a stand along change.
As you 'know there are preliminary plans to develop the land at the North/East comer of the
intersection of HV~Y 79 and La Paz. By making La Paz Westbound~ that should reduce the related
traffic into Los Ranchitos from those developments and also from the church nearby.
The board members realize there has been some consideration for the placement of tri-light
signals on Ynez at either or both of the intersections with La Paz and Jedediab Smith. We believe
such an installation would not be in keeping with the rural feeling of the community, and are not
necessary, for safe control of traffic. We are also mindful of the budgetary impact of tri-light
installations. We don't believe the traffic manual minimum requirements will be met either.
We do not claim to be traffic engineering experts, but, we have given careful cousidevation to our
recommendations. We make these recommendations in the spirit of concerned community
representatives and recognize the decisions you make are sometimes difficult ones that do not
please everyone. We appreciate your willingness to listen to our concerns and stand ready to assist
you in wor'king out a plan that will provide the safest traffic flow at a reasonable price.
If our board members can be of any help at all, please let me know. We observed on November
20ta that the Commission is truly concerned and common sense prevailed. We trust you will use
that same insightful wisdom m dealing with our recommendations.
Thank you again for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Victor Jones, President
Los Ranchires Homeowners Association
Commissioner Markham noted this is a design problem as there is a low density area connected
to a high density area and the road was not designed to handle high traffic volumes or through
traffic. He stated he supported a permanent closure with a provision for traversible access for
fire and police services.
Commissioner Perry supported a permanent closure with curbs, gutters and lan~icaping
installed with no public access.
Commissioner's Johnson and Coe supported permanently closing the street.
Chairman Telesio noted there are various other ways to get into the area that is more suitable
for safety equipment.
Randy Johnson, 31204 Kahwea Road, asked for permanent closure of Kahwea and to be made
a cul-de-sac, which would then be reflected on the maps.
Chairman Telesio asked the Public Works Department to do what they can to make certain the
Police and Fire Departments have updated maps.
It was moved by Commissioner Perry, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to recommend the City
Council permanently close Kahwea Road and a more permanent closure structure be erected to
include curbs, gutters and landscaping as appropriate.
The motion carried as follows:
AYES:
NOES:
COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio
COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None
3. Flashing Beacons and Ripht-Turn Lane Installation - Ynez Road at La Paz Street
Senior Engineer Ali Moghadam presented the staff report.
Commissioner Markham noted a dirt road for cutting the corner has developed. He expressed
concern that people will cut through the corners when Hwy. 795 construction starts, and
perhaps installation of an AC berm could be considered. Commissioner Markham mentioned
that the owner immediately north of the "T' intersection said the "Stop Sign" has been a help.
Commissioner Markham noted the concerns about rear-end accidents has not materialized and
the "Stop Sign" has reduced speed dramatically.
Commissioner Perry agreed with staff that flashing lights are not needed; and questioned the
need for a right-turn lane or a berm as he has not seen more than four (4) to six (6) cars backed
up at a time.
Commissioner Johnson stated traffic volumes may increase in this location until Hwy. 795
construction is complete. He concurred flashing beacons are not needed and was of the
opinion the right-turn lane should be revisited at a later time.
Chairman Telesio mentioned the bike lane has become the right-turn lane and does not see a
need for a dedicated right-turn lane or flashing beacons.
It was moved by Commissioner Coe, seconded by Commissioner Markham. to recommend the
City Council take no further action regarding instaliation of flashing beacon,~ or :~lns:ructk>n cf
a right-turn lane at the intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz Street.
The motion carried as follows:
AYES:
5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio
NOES:
0 COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None
4. Request tn Install Barricades and Equestrian Crossin~ Signs in Los Ranchitos Area
Senior Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report.
Commissioner Markham commented the Maintenance Department has installed horse crossing
signs in other locations within Los Ranchitos and whether the trails are public or private, they
are used as public trails by residents of Los Ranchitos, Santiago Estates and Santiago Ranchos
areas. He also noted the three-way stop has helped limit the accidents at this intersection.
Commissioner Markham suggested putting up the equestrian trail signs in both directions of La
Paz Street because of a blind trail crossing due to fencing and trees. He will provide staff with
a trail map.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the trails were in Los Ranchitos' CC&Rs and Commissioner
Markham answered yes.
Chairman Telesio asked if it was necessary for the City to bear the cost of the signs
installation. Commissioner Markham replied the existing signs in Los Ranchitos were installed
by the City.
Chairman Telesio stated he was hesitant about putting a horse crosswalk on La Paz Street and
is not certain a sign will really alert motorists to the presence of a horse.
Mr. Parks stated the equestrian sign is for traffic and should be in public right-of-way as it is a
safety issue-to alert the motoring public of the possibility of a horse crossing.
It was moved by Commissioner Markham. seconded by Commissioner Perry, to recommend
the City Council install trail crossing signs at La Paz Street and to deny the request for
installation of additional barricades on the north side of Ynez Road.
The motion carried as follows:
AYES:
5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio
NOES:

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission
FROM: Ali Moghadam, P.E., Senior Engineer, Traffic
DATE: September 10, 1998
SUBJECT: Item 3
Hashing Beacons and Right-Tum Lane Installation - Ynez Road at La Paz Sweet
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council take no further action regarding
installation of flashing beacons and right-turn lane at the intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz Street.
BACKGROUND:
At a special meeting held on November 20, 1997 the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommended that
the City Council adopt a resolution establishing an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Ynez Road and La
Paz Street. The Commission also recommended installation of flashing beacons on Ynez Road and
construction of a right-turn lane from Ynez Road to La Paz Street to minimize possibility of rear end
collisions. Minutes of the meeting is attached as Exhibit "A" .
At the time this item was reviewed by the Commission, turning movement cotmrs at this intersection were not
available and it was assumed that the majority of the southbound Ynez Road traffic turn right on La Paz Street.
However, the actual counts indicated that the majority of vehicles, two-thirds (2/3), continue southbound on
Ynez Road (Exhibit "B').
Staff has also monitored the number of accidents at this intersection. There has been one (1) reported solo
accident at this intersection since installation of the "Stop" sign. This accident was caused by a driver who
turned right from Ynez Road to La Paz Street at a high rate of speed through the dirt vacant lot at the
southwest comer of this intersection and after loosing control of the vehicle rolled over on La Paz Street.
Since this intersection currently operates safely, it does not appear that flashing beacons and a right-tam lane
are necessary at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None

Publie/Traffic Safety Commission
Ali Moghadam, Senior Engineer
July 9, 1998
Item 3
Speed Limit - Various Localions
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing
speed limits on the following roadway segments:
Amarita Way between Pio Pico Road and McCabe Road
Montelegro Way between Pio Pico Road and McCabe Road
Niculas Road between Winchester Road and Via Lobo
La Paz Street between Ynez Road and Hwy. 79 South
BACKGROUND:
The City has received several requests to review the speed limit on the above referenced roadways. Staff has
conducted engineering and traffic surveys to establish or modify the speed limits on these roadways as
summarized in Table 1.
Amarita Way and Montelegro Way are 48 foot wide local collector streets which provide primary access to
the Paloma Del Sol residential community. Amarita Way and Montelegro Way were recently accepted as City
Maintained Streets. Currently, the speed limit is not posted on these roadways; however, "School - 25 MPH -
When Children Are Present" signs are posted on Amarita Way near Via Rami at Paloma Elementary School.
Based on the new data a speed limit of 40 MPH is recommended for Amarita Way and Montelegro Way.
Nicolas Road is an 86 foot wide four-lane arterial roadway with a posted speed limit of 50 MPH. Recen~y
the City established an wAll-Way Stop" at the intersection of Nicolas Road and North General Kearny Road.
Staff conducted a new engineering and traffic survey to determine if a lower speed limit was justified. Based
on the new data, and to maintain a safe and consistent speed limit on Nicolas Road between Winchester Road
and Via Lobo, staff recommends that the speed limit be reduced to 45 MPH.
La Paz Street between Ynez Road and Hwy. 79 South is a 24 foot wide two-lane roadway. Since the previous
engineering and traffic survey for La Paz Street has expired, staff conducted a new study to update the
previous speed survey. The speed limit is currently posted at 35 MPH on La Paz Street and no changes are
recommended.
Table 1 is a summary of the engineering and waffle surveys (Exhibit "B").

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA
PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
NOVEMBER 20, 1997
A special meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order
on Thursday, November 20. 1997, 6:02 P.M., in the City Hall Council Chambers, 43200
Business Park Drive. Temecula, California. Chairman Markham called the meeting to order.
PRESENT: COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Telesio, Markham
ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coo
Also present were Director of Public Works Joseph K:icak, Public Works Associate Engineer Ali
Moghadam, Police Sergeant Rodnay Crisp, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle, and Minute
Clerk Pat Kelley.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chairman Markham moved the public comment section for non-agenda items to the end of the
meeting,
COMMISSION BUSINESS
1. Reouest for an "AII-Wav StQo" at Ynez Road and LR Pat Street
Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report.
Commissioner Telesio asked if there is any indication of the percentage of traffic turning
right vs. those continuing east. Mr. Moghadam stated while he was in the area, he
observed approximately 60 to 70 percent of the traffic making a right turn to access
Hwy. 79(S). He added motorists turning are not causing accidents, but are contributing
to the problem since the majority of motorists are Turning right onto La Paz Street, and
the motorists on La Paz are waiting to make a left-turn onto Ynez Road assume
approaching eastbound motorists are turning right onto La Pat Street, and pull out in
front of motorists continuing eastbound.
Commissioner Johnson asked if there was room for a right-turn lane on Ynez Road. Mr.
Moghadam stated a right-turn lane would require additional paving, but would be within
the existing right-of-way.
Commissioner Johnson asked about stacking space requirements for a right-turn lane.
Mr. Moghadam replied is approximately 200 feet, including the transition, would be
needed.
Ernest Curtsinger, 29083 Ynez Road, representing the Los Ranchitos Homeowners
Association, spoke in favor of the "Stop" signs, and mentioned speed is also an issue
based on his personal observation. He suggested a "Stop" sign for all three (3)
directions. a right-turn lane, and a lower speed limit. Mr. Curtsinger reiterated the
problem is traffic trying to avoid Hwy. 79(S) congestion.
PUBLIC[TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20. 1997
Chairman Markham noted the 85th percentlie for the November 14, 1997 survey is 49.5
which drops the speed limit to 45 MPH, with the highest speed recorded as 50 MPH.
He mentioned the speed limit goes to 50 MPH at Jedediah Smith Road.
Terri Gassen, 44501 Verde Drive, expressed concern about speeding and motorists
passing as it is a difficult and dangerous route due to the undulating roadway.
Bob Yabroff, 29370 Ynez Road stated a lower speed limit would be helpful and is in
favor of a right-turn lane. However, Mr. Yabroff noted if the "Stop" signs are installed,
the back-up of southbound motorists will make it difficult to make a left-turn out of his
driveway, especially between the hours 5:00 and 7:00 PM.
Carole Corazza, 44220 La Paz Street, spoke in favor of the 'Stop" signs and a sign
alerting motorists of a "Stop Ahead", and stated the situation will not be eased until
Hwy. 79(S) improvements are completed in two (2) to three (3) years. She is concerned
that the rise does not allow a motorist to visually determine if there is sufficient time to
make a safe maneuver, which is made more dangerous by speeding vehicles.
Rebecca Wearsing, 41775 Yorba Avenue, mentioned that between Margarita Road and
Santiago Road, she observed only two (2) speed limit signs, one (1) 50 MPH sign near
DePortola, and one (1), 45 MPH near Coronado. Ms. Wearsing mentioned an additional
problem of turning right onto Ynez Road at Yorba Avenue due to a short sight distance.
Cynthia Johnson, 29420 Ynez Road, invited the Commissioners to sit in her driveway
during evening peak hour to hear the continual screeching of brakes and horns honking.
Police Sergeant Crisp remarked sight distance was the problem in the two (2) recent
accidents.
Director of Public Works, Joseph Kicak, explained the plans and specifications for the
Hwy 79S/I-15 interchange Project, which include modification and realignment of Front
Street, modification to the east and west on and off-ramps as well as signalization for
the three (3) intersections, will go to bid mid December, with a contract award in
February 1998, and a seven (7) to nine (9) month construction period. He stated
Caltrans considers this an interim project, and the City is doing a project study report
to determine the ultimate design. Mr. Kicak reported that at this time, there is no
schedule for the rest of Hwy 79(S) improvements, which is funded by Assessment
District 159. The City Council budgeted $1.2 million in the CIP for the City's portion
and has al.so received a $5 million loan from Riverside County Transportation
Commission'(RCTC) of which $1.2 million is earmarked for the project.
Chairman Markham stated the best case scenario is the project for the widening of Hwy
79(S) will go to bid mid-1998 with a year to 14-month construction schedule.
Mr. Kicak stated a contract for the engineering of the Pala Road Bridge was awarded in
November 1997; tentative schedule is for completion by the year 2000. He said the
I~roject includes relocating the existing bridge, construction of a new bridge, widening
Paia Road, from Hwy 79(S) to the bridge, to six (6) lanes and widening a portion of the
south approaches to the bridge.
pUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20. 1997
Commissioner Perry expressed concern about a "Stop" sign at Ynez Road and La Paz
Street causing traffic back-up of southbound motorists being unable to see the backed-
up traffic until they are upon it. He stated a long right-turn lane might circumvent the
problem, but if a lot of southbound motorists approach the hill, there will be a problem.
Commissioner Johnson suggested adding a right-turn lane with a yield sign instead of
a "Stop" sign for right-turn lane.
Chairman Markham inquired about the stopping sight distance at 50 to 55 MPH. Mr.
Moghadam answered existing 620 feet sight distance meets the requirement.
Mr. Moghadam mentioned the City Council's direction was to look into a signal at that
intersection with a 'Stop" sign as an interim measure, but staff does not have sufficient
data to determine if signal warrants are met at this time. He agrees a 'Stop" sign may
reduce the number of some types of accidents.
It was moved by Chairman Markham, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to
recommend the City Council add three-way "Stop" signs on Ynez Road, install a
dedicated right-turn lane on Ynez Road at La Paz Street at a length appropriate to
provide sufficient stacking space, install permanent flashing lights warning drivers of a
"Stop Ahead" in both directions, and consider adding speed limit signs on Ynez Road,
especially at the transitions.
Commissioner Telesio questioned how Mr. Yabroff's access problem will be overcome.
Mr. Moghadam replied the intersection will have to be cleared as quickly as possible and
he will look into the matter further.
The motion carried as follows:
AYES:
4 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Telesio, Markham
NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None
ABSENT: I COMMISSIONERS: Coe
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Chairman Markham called for public comments on non-agenda items.
Mr. Victor Jones, re'resenting Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association, stated a presentation
will be made by the Homeowners Association at the December 11, 1997 or January 1998
meeting.
Chairman Markham suggested the Homeowners Association provide staff their concerns in
writing as soon as possible and staff will notify the Association if it is possible to get the issue
on the December 11 agenda.
PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMRER 20. 1997
COMMISSION DISCUSSION
Commissioner Perry stated the "Stop" sign at Ynez Road will provide a never-ending stream of
traffic along Ynez Road to Margarita Road and it will become progressively more difficult to
make left-turns onto other streets.
Chairman Markham mentioned the matter will be before the City Council on November 25,
1997 as a Consent Calendar item. Mr. Kicak stated the item is on the agenda and the staff
report will be handed out no later than Monday, November 24.
Mr. Moghadam clarified the report to the City Council will recommend putting in the "Stop" sign
and temporary flashing beacons immediately with permanent flashing lights installed as soon
as possible.
Jeff Comenchero, newly elected Councilmember, mentioned even though the item is on the
Consent Calendar, it can be pulled for public comment.
it was moved by Commissioner Telesio, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to adjourn the
meeting at 7:04 PM. The motion carried unanimously.
The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday,
December 11, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park
Drive, Temecula, California.

POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY REPORT FOR November 1998
The following report reflects Part One crimes, traffic enforcement and miscellaneous activity
occurring during November of 1998. Part One crime statistics are displayed by district within the
City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and aiding in planning police
resource deployment.
The Police Department issued 644 traffic citations last month, which compares with 355 issued in
November of 1997. The number of injury collisions increased while the number of non-injury
accidents decreased this month as compared to November of 1997. Temecula experienced no fatal
traffic collisions in November. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol increased from
November of 1997. Robberies and felony assaults decreased compared to one year ago. Reported
grant thefts increased while burglaries and auto thefts decreased when compared to November 1997.
The total number of arrests made during the month is higher than in the previous year.
The Police Department responded to thirty-six "priority one" calls for service during the month of
November, with an average response time of approximately seven minutes. A total of 2,500 calls
for police service were generated in the City of Temecula during the month.
During the month of November, the Temecula Police Department' s storefront served a total of 247
people. Of this number, sixty-nine people were finger printed, eight people made police reports,
seventeen people had citations signed off and three solicitor's permits were issued.
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY
November, 1998
In addition, five three-day parking permits were issued to residents pursuant to the oversize vehicle
ordinance.
Officer Fanene routinely provides public safety information to various community groups. On
November 12, Officer Fanene participated in a Crime Free Multi Housing presentation at the
Stonewood Apartments. On November 17, Officer Fanene participated in a panel discussion on
violence in the workplace, which was held at Temecula Creek Inn.
On November 14, many members of the Police Department participated in the Second Annual Public
Safety Day held at Chapanal High School. The Expo featured many displays of equipment as well
as services, which are available from the police and fire departments as well as from other city
departments. The Expo was very successful and an even better program is planned for 2000.
The POP Team of Officers Jeff Kubel and Steve Mike completed one TAG (Temecuta Against
Graffiti) programs focusing on problem sites. No citations were issued but six people were
contacted and eleven vehicle checks were conducted. This program has proven to be successful as
evidenced by the significant reduction in graffiti vandalism.
The POP Team also conducted an off-road vehicle enforcement program. This ongoing program
focuses on illegal off-roading within the city and surrounding areas. Programs focus on areas which
have been identified as having problems with off-roaders either through citizen complaints or
complaints from property owners. This month's program resulted in the issuance of six citations and
ten warnings. The program has proven to be successful, as the team has had a decrease in the
amount of citations issued and contacts made with illegal off roaders and have received positive
feedback from members of the community.
The POP Team continued work on the Crime Free Multi Housing Program, attempting to certify all
of the city' s apartment complexes. To date, thirteen of the city's complexes have been certified.
During the month, the POP Team also conducted a juvenile tobacco decoy program in which an
underage Police Explorer attempts to purchase tobacco products. Twenty-six businesses were
visited, two of which sold tobacco to the minor decoy.
Temecula Canine Officer Joey Nardone and his dog Hunter participated in the Third Annual Police
Canine Trials that were held at Chaparral High School on November 13 and 14. The team took third
place overall in the patrol category which includes trials in agility, area and box searching, protection
and obedience. There were a total of forty-six competitors in the overall competition. In addition,
they took third place in Narcotics Detection in a field of twenty-nine competitors.
POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY
November, 1998
This month, School Resource Officers continued to focus on violations of possession of tobacco
products by middle and high school students. The program resulted in the issuance of several
citations for possession of tobacco products.
Vohmteers 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 577 hours of service in November. No new volunteers were accepted into the program
during the month. Some of the duties volunteers assist with include logistics, telephone answering,
filing and computer entry and assistance with the TAG Program.
Another valuable volunteer resource provided to the Police Department is the reserve officer
program and mounted posse. The Police Department utilizes reserve officers to assist with patrok
traffic enforcement, crime prevention and a variety of special functions. Reserve police officers
worked a total of 233 hours during the month. Of this time, 90 hours were spent on patrol and 143
hours were spent assisting on special programs such as TAG and the off-road vehicle program. The
posse contributed a total of 339 hours during the month on various special functions including a
great deal of support with the off-road enforcement program as well as high visibility patrol in the
Old Town Temecula area.
