Ordinance Amending Chapter 36 <br />Of Santa Ana Municipal Code <br />August 21, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br />In order for the courts to uphold speeding tickets written by the Santa <br />Ana Police Department (SAPD), each ticket must be able to withstand the <br />scrutiny of the courts. This study report contains and documents <br />sufficient information in compliance with State law to justify the posted <br />speed limit. <br />Based upon the study results, no change in the posted speed limits is <br />recommended at 140 locations of the 177 locations studied throughout the <br />City. The speed limit is recommended to be decreased at 16 locations, <br />increased at 20 locations, and newly established at one location as shown <br />in Table 1. The study and recommendations have been reviewed and are <br />supported by SAPD. Once the ordinance is amended, the corresponding <br />changes to the posted speed limits on the affected streets will be <br />modified. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds for the installation of speed limit signs estimated at $10,000 are <br />available in the Maintenance Division's account for Operations <br />Improvements (account no. 11-623-6391). <br />. ` ~ ~~,.. <br />James G.
