Commissioner Fox inquired whether the Jack in the Box in question was the restaurant on Santa Rita, or near the Bernal property. Ms. Decker replied that it was the one located on Santa Rita Road, which was the first location. Commissioner Fox noted that was not the Jack in the Box she was referring to. 9. COMMUNICATIONS Commissioner Pearce noted that a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Committee meeting had been held at which installing a crosswalk at Mohr Avenue and the Iron Horse Trail had been discussed. She added that consultants were working on the project and that the conference room environment was not as structured as at Planning Commission meetings. She noted that there were no speaker cards, and people often talked out of order. Ms. Harryman noted that it was a Brown Act meeting. Commissioner Pearce noted that members of the public sat at the same table as the Committee members and that there was no opening of public hearings. Ms. Harryman suggested that Commissioner Pearce call her during office hours to discuss the meeting procedure. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner O'Connor regarding whether the crosswalk issue had been referred to the City Council, Commissioner Pearce replied that a recommendation for that item had been made because they had been previously discussed. She noted that several Committee members had bad experiences at that crosswalk and passed on a recommendation for a blinking crosswalk. Commissioner O'Connor noted that a painted crosswalk would be insufficient. Commissioner Pearce believed that because it was on Iron Horse Trail, a blinking crosswalk would be needed. Commissioner Pearce inquired about the current work on the heritage tree and the status of the trees. Chair Blank replied that there had been no appeals. 10.
