REQUEST FOR 4-WAY STOP SIGNS Traffic Engineer Joe SOUTH CENTRAL NEIGHBORS Foust orally outlined the APPROVED recommendation of his August 18, 1977 report for treatment of the four intersections recommended for four-way stop signs by the South Central Neighbors (Bishop & Shelton, Highland & Shelton, Flower & Bishop, Broadway & Chestnut). Following the showing of video tape of the intersection of Flower and Bishop between S:00 and 5:15 P.M., and the comments of inter- ested citizens, Council approved the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer to install four-way stop signs at Bishop & Shelton and at Highland & Shelton, on the unanimously carried 6:0 motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Bricken. Councilman Yamamoto's motion to install four-way stop signs at the intersections of Flower and Bishop, and Broadway and Chestnut, failed for lack of a second. The recommendation' to restrict parking on Flower at Bishop and on Broadway at Chestnut was approved on the motion of Councilman Brandt, seconded by Councilman Garthe, and carried 6:0 unanimously; and Staff was directed to install marked cross walks and review the traffic and pedestrian counts after school starts, and report the results to Council in 90 days. Speakers in favor of four-way stop signs at all four intersections were: Helen Snyder, 634 South Rosewood Frank Oviedo, 808 South Shelton Karen Banuelos, 1018 West Bishop Maureen Cantrall, 1239 West Bishop Isabel Moore, 523 South Baker Street Adelle Yeaton, 410 South Broadway Zeke Hernandez, 1230 West Chestnut Residents speaking cited accidents, near accidents and impaired visibility when trying to cross or make left turns onto the major streets as the situations that they feel call for four-way stop signs. They also stated concern for school children who must use those intersections to attend school. One speaker took exception to the other comments and concurred with the recommendation of the Traffic Engineer; he was: Ray Price, 1222 Highland CA 18.3 GARDEN GROVE WATER SYSTEM ACQUISITION Mr Ronald Wolford, Assistant STAFF AUTHORIZED TO PROCEED City Manager, announced that COST SHARING FORMULA REQUESTED a price of $646,000 had been negotiated with the City of Garden Grove for the purchase of water service to 1,128 residents of West Santa Anal and summarizing his report dated August 18, 1977, stated that the price includes three wells; that payment will be made over a period of one year in twelve equal monthly payments without interest charges; and that the 50% water rate surcharge to these customers would be lifted upon execution of the contract by both parties. On the motion of Councilman Garthe, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto, and carried 6:0, Staff was authorized to prepare a purchase agree- ment for Council action. In further discussion regarding the funding options, Councilman Bricken moved, and Councilman Brandt seconded, a motion to direct Staff to prepare a formula for sharing the cost of the purchase by the residents receiving the service, spread over a period of time, taking into consideration the values of the homes and the economic condition of the residents. The motion carried 5:1. with Council- man Yamamoto dissenting. CA 12 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 307 AUGUST 23, 1977
