461 Mr. Tom Treto, land planning consultant, 231 Main Street, representing the School District, stated they concur with the staff report, and that the loca- tion has been reviewed, visited and approved by the State Board of Education. Councilmember Brandes stated he did not see anywhere in the negative dec- laration that there had been any testing for toxics along the railroad tracks; he felt this should be included. Mr. Swift advised that the negative declara- tion does not specifically allude to toxics carried by trains; there are more hazardous materials carried by truck than by train. He stated that most train traffic occurs at night. He added the only mitigation Council could take would be to find a different location for the middle school. Councilmember Butler stated there are hazardous materials safeguards in all City elements and to hold up the project because of this is illogical. He asked whether or not the stop sign at Case and Bernal Avenues could be removed. Mr. Treto stated he had no problem with this either way. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the item. There being no further testimony, Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing closed on the application and the negative declaration.
