~ULLED ITEMS
RESOLUTION 13801 AMENDING COUNCIL POLICY NUMBER 840-02
RELATING TO SMOKING IN NON-PUBLIC AREAS OF
CITY BUILDINGS (Budget Officer)
)n January 28, 1986, the Council adopted a smoking policy for
.~mployee areas of City Buildings which as been re-evaluated. A
nanagement team has met in committee with representatives from all
_~mployee associations and the amendments presented have been
~.greed to by the employee associations. Staff recommended Council
adopt the proposed amendments to become effective on October 17,
1988.
Souncilman Nader questioned the language under B.2., City Hall
Section, which allows a department head to approve an "other
_~nclosed" area as a smoking area. Since the exceptions have never
aeen utilized in City Hall, as stated by staff, it was suggested
language be used to state "City Hall is a non-smoking area". City
4anager Goss reported it would be more appropriate to adopt the
~esired changes to the policy, as stated in the Resolution, and,
then, to refer back to the employee associations for meet and
:onfer.
~ESOLUTION OFFERED BY COUNCILMAN Nader with the inclusion that the
policy be referred back to staff for further meet and confer, the
reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and
approved. (Councilmembers Malcolm and McCandliss out)
9. REPORT ON REQUEST BY MR. DOUGLAS ADRIANCE FOR AN
ALL-WAY STOP AT OLEANDER AVENUE AND EAST
PALOMAR (Director of Public Works)
Oleander Avenue is a north/south residential collector with a
curb-to-curb width of 40 feet. The Average Daily Traffic (APT) is
3,910 vehicles per day. East Palomar Street is a.n east/west
collector street with a curb-to-curb width of 64 feet. The ADT on
this street is 1,980 vehicles per day. East Palomar Street
intersects with the west side of Oleander Avenue, at the bottom of
a hill, to form a T-intersection. The subject intersection does
not satisfy the City's criteria for all-way stop controls. The
intersection received 15 points out of a possible 50; 30 minimum
points are necessary before an all-way stop is warranted. Studies
have shown that unwarranted all-way stops could adversely affect
the intersection's safety performance and staff recommends not to
install an all-way stop.
Traffic Engineer Rosenberg reported staff's recommendation to
provide solid 4" wide white edgelines between the travel lanes and
the parking lanes of Oleander Avenue as a guideline for
motorists. The intent of the line would be to give restriction in
the hopes motorists will "feel crowded" and slow down.
IINUTES 5 October 4, 1988
iouglas Adriance, 467 Oriole Court, 92011, reported his agreement
'ith the staff report and, with the use of view slides, emphasized
:hat no traffic control is offered for 1.5 miles along this road
/hich encourages acceleration of automobiles. Children cross at
shis point to the Boys and Girls Club and a school in the area.
Traffic Engineer Rosenberg reported that children, a school and a
>lay area do add points to an area being analyzed but the length
>f a route is not an adequate justification.
tOTION
IS ~x/Moore) to accept the staff recommendation.
qayor Cox suggested staff take whatever steps is necessary to put
in the lines and to monitor the intersection and the selected
~nforcement to determine the warrants as necessary.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION
ISUC (Cox/Moore) to continue to the Meeting of October 11, 1988.
{Councilmembers Malcolm and McCandliss out)
