<br />
<br />PRESENT~TIO~ By BILL J..~IE~ON~ R~!. EL. CHA~R.O .ROAD
<br /> The City Council met at 7:40 P.M., to hear a presentation regarding E1 Charro
<br />Road.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Bill Jamieson, 875 Bonde Court, stated that there is an increasing number
<br />of gravel trucks on First Street and due to the safety factor as well as other re-
<br />lated problems, urged Council to take immediate action to initiate the completion
<br />of E1 Charro Road.
<br />
<br /> Mr. John Edmands, Editor of the Times, stated that special meetings regarding
<br />this matter were started in 1956, and continued to the present time. He cited
<br />various reports and letters which approved the completion of E1 Charro Road. He
<br />further stated he felt the gravel companies had not actively pursued their obli-
<br />gation to participate in the construction of E1 Charro Road, in accordance with
<br />their 1972 Agreement with the City. Mr. Edmands urged Council to take immediate
<br />steps to work with gravel companies for a solution to the gravel truck traffic
<br />problem or to t~rminate the 1972 Agreement with the gravel industries to use
<br />First Street. He also questioned the productivity of the Rock, Sand, and Gravel
<br />Company. He suggested forming an ad hoc committee to bring together the City,
<br />County, gravel companies, and citizens, in an effort to solve the problem.
<br />
<br /> Mayor Kinney explained the revenue received by the City as a result of the
<br />1972 Agreement between the City and Gravel Companies, which amounts to approxi-
<br />mately $50,000.00 per year.
<br />
<br /> Councilmember LeClaire brought attention to a Bill currently before the
<br />Governor regarding allowing larger size trucks on roads.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Jim Trimingham, 4419 Second Street, stated that since nothing has been
<br />done by the County for the completion of E1 Charro Road, that the Council should
<br />take action to get a connecting link between Stanley Boulevard and 1-580.
<br />
<br /> After discussion, Council instructed staff to prepare a report to include an
<br />updating of previous information contained in the gravel truck report, the pre-
<br />sent truck traffic on both E1 Charro and First Street, legal opinions as to what
<br />the City's alternatives are related to "reasonable alternate routes", and the
<br />status of the Gravel Committee, for presentation at a Council meeting in the
<br />near future.
