September 30th will be the deadline for all comments, with the final report being submitted for Council review on October 16th. It was recommended that Council accept the preliminary report and direct staff to undertake a specific State Route 22S study which would: l) examine interim facility solutions, 2) determine financial guarantee, and 3) coordinate timing of construction. Mayor Cox questioned whether the study would address the issue of SR 125 being a toll road. He also felt there would have to be a provision made for those living in the area to use the road and expressed his concern over a toll road forcing more traffic onto existing streets. Mr. Carter responded that all alternatives would be explored in the report. Councilwoman McCandliss expressed concern over the 1-2 year lag in monitoring traffic and felt the new projections would have to be monitored closely. Mr. Carter responded that the new Growth Management Plan afforded the opportunity to look forward, as the projections are for 1994-95, rather than utilizing past figures. Mr. Leiter stated there would also be an annual traffic count and the Growth Management Oversight Committee would monitor compliance with the Threshold Standards. This would allow for technical monitoring and annual review. The data presented is utilizing mid-3_989 information. Councilman Nader stated he liked the report but questioned whether the transportation plan addressed the area west of 1-80S. Minutes August 30, 1990 Page 2 John Lippitt, Director of Public Works, responded that the report looked basically east of 1-805 due to the concern of the opening of State Route 54 and the impact upon that area. He stated staff would be submitting a report to Council in the next few months that would address computerized traffic signals and their impacts. Mayor Cox requested a memorandum back to Council that would address the constraints and alternatives of State Route 54. Mr. Leirer stated the phasing policy being recommended is for the interim. The permanent policy will also look at public facilities and benefits as part of the development agreements. Councilman Nader stated he wanted a mechanism to prioritized project, rather than first come first serve, in the report. Mr. Leirer responded that the program was a facilities driven plan. Bud Gray, Consultant for the project, stated the report included a summary of air quality and water supply. Due to the Clean Air Act of 1988, there were two new issues that needed to be addressed. These were 1) transportation source measures, and 2) indirect source measures. Mr. Leiter stated that interim air quality and water conservation plans would be submitted to Council in October for adoption. Will Hyde, Chairman, Growth Management Oversight Commirtee, felt the recommendations would place an additional burden on staff, but it would give the GMOC better background. He stated the GMOC had recommended changes for three thresholds, which Council had not acted upon, and he hoped they would consider the recommendations. Councilman Moore encouraged the GMOC to move forward with the forming of the Interagency Water Commission. He felt it important for the Council to take the lead and visit the Long Beach reverse osmosis plant. OTHER BUSINESS 3. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS - None. 4. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT(S) a.
