RUBY HILL OWNERS' ASSOCIATION TRAFFIC PETITION HISTORY California Vehicle code 21107.7 allows a majority either of the homeowners or a majority of the Board of Directors of a common interest development to petition the City requesting an enforcement change in a private development. In Apri12000 and December 2002, the Ruby Hill Owners' Association Board of Directors agreed to place this issue on a ballot for the homeowners of the development to vote on. The results of each ballot were very close, approximately 51% against and 49% in favor, of petitioning the City for traffic enforcement. Due to the rapid growth of the community, the total number of homes and drivers has grown substantially since the homeowners were surveyed. With this in mind, the number of young, less experienced drivers, within the community has significantly increased, along with the number of accidents both multi and single car. The Ruby Hill Owners' Association Articles of Incorporation (Article II -Purposes of the Association) states in part that it's specific and primary purposes are to provide for the management and administration, as well as to promote the health, safety, and welfare of all residents within the project. The Board has the responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that all homeowners are provided equal traffic service/support, with regard to personal safety, as the rest of the Pleasanton community. Given these facts, the Board of Directors notified the Ruby Hill homeowners they would be putting this safety matter to vote in July 2006. Many residents attended this Board meeting to state their concerns both for and against this potential change. After much discussion, the Board voted unanimously in favor of petitioning the City Council to allow for traffic enforcement in the Ruby Hill community. The Ruby Hill HOA has paid for and provided a traffic study to the City along with the consulting firm's observations and recommendations. We have also met with the COP Traffic Engineering Department to understand any issues relating to compliance concerns, such as proper signage. The Ruby Hill HOA Board members fully understand that to allow vehicle code enforcement within the Ruby Hill community will not prevent accidents or speeding. Please consider this request as we have, as both an obligation and a benefit for the Ruby Hill community, as well as the City of Pleasanton.
