Mayor Mercer reiterated his request to consider appointing a citizens review committee on traffic safety. Councilmember Kephart stated he would support this concept as he felt there were severe traffic problems in the City and speeding in the residential areas. Councilmember Mohr asked if this committee would also review crosswalks; Mayor Mercer advised that it would. Councilmember Wood suggested this committee be formed within the structure of the Staff Traffic Committee. Council concurred and instructed staff to prepare a report relative to this matter. Councilmember Mohr advised that she had noticed several illegally placed political signs lately and requested a report regarding ways to enforce the City's sign ordinance to prohibit this violation. Staff was instructed to prepare a report for review at the meeting of May 27, 1980. CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilmembers presented various Committee Reports for the information of the Council. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mr. John Caroline, 4487 Pleasanton Avenue, stated that as a resident of Pleasan- ton he was concerned about sewer capacity in this town. tte stated he had recently received approval for development of a 69 acre industrial park. He felt that Council should not consider annexing any additional lands to the City until present sewer permit requests are met. Mr. Caroline asked that some sort of priority be established to allow sewer capacity for those properties already within the City that have final map approval, and he felt the priority list should not be based upon the Capital Improvement critique established by the Residential Allocation Program. Again, he urged Council to give serious consideration to those that have been in line for sometime for the available sewer capacity before considering any new annexations. After discussion, it was moved by Mayor Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Kephart, that this matter be referred to the Sewer Committee, to be reviewed with the City Manager and City Attorney, and report back to the remainder of the Council. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Kephart, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmember Butler Mayor Mercer presented a letter dated April 30, 1980, from a group of property owners on Old Santa Rita Road regarding the problems and possible solutions to obtaining a sewer line and the necessary sewer permits for these properties. Mayor Mercer requested this matter also be referred to the Sewer Committee to be reviewed at the same time as the above item. Council concurred. Mayor Mercer stated that the Sewer Committee and City staff would report back to Council on these two items. Mr. Leo Heckathorn, 4202 Stanley Boulevard, congratulated the newly elected Councilmembers. He stated he was concerned about what he thought was a building inspection violation of a building on Old Santa Rita Road. Mr. Cullum, Chief Build- ing Inspector, reviewed the building inspection process and the materials used in this particular building, which he stated did meet the Building Code requirements. After discussion, Mayor Mercer requested that Mr. Cullum take Mr. Heckathorn on an inspection tour of the building in question and explain the City's building in- spection procedures. Mr. Matthew Hartsen, General Contractor who constructed the building in question, stated his buildings were constructed to meet the highest standards, and he would be delighted to accompany Mr. Heckathorn and Mr. Cullum on a tour of the building on Old Santa Rita Road. 3. 5/13/80
