This is the time and place continued for a public hearing to
appeal the Board of Building Commissioners' Order No. 2934 relative
to code violations at 1371 West Base Line Street.
Mayor Minor opened the hearing.
Frank Garcia, 8335 Mediterranean Way, Sacramento, CA, owner of
the property, asked the Council to override the Board of Building
Commissioners' decision and to cancel the imposed fees, which
seemed excessive and could be put to better use bringing the
property up to code.
Joseph Lease, Inspection Services Supervisor, Planning and
Building Services, answered questions regarding the property and
gave a brief synopsis of actions taken by the Planning and Building
Services Department.
Discussion ensued on what would be accomplished by upholding
the Board of Building Commissioners' decision and denying Mr.
Garcia's appeal, whether the fees should be waived at this time,
and whether the matter should be continued to a later date.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Curlin, that the matter be continued to April 15, 1996, in
the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San

to meet with Planning and Building Services staff and complete all
work by April 1, 1996; to hold in abeyance until April 1, 1996, the

IDENTIFY FINANCING INSTALL TRAFFIC SIGNALS &
CHANNELIZATION - MT. VERNON AVENUE & 21ST STREET (24)
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
submitted a Staff Report dated February 27, 1996, regarding the
installation of traffic signals and channelization at the
intersection of Mt. Vernon Avenue and 21st Street.
Council Member Negrete made a motion that the allocation of
$120,000 from the 1996/97 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Fund Program, for installation of traffic signals and
channelization at Mt. Vernon Avenue and 21st Street, be approved.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Council expressed concern about allocating CDBG funds at this
time, since the community Development Citizens Advisory Committee
participates in making recommendations for the use of CDBG funds.
Discussion ensued regarding various ways to finance the
signals, including the use of CDBG funds or left over bond funds.
Specifically discussed was a history of the bond funds originally
designated for the San Marcos project and the possibility of using
these funds for the traffic signals. Also discussed was the
urgency of moving ahead with this project without delay.
Mayor Minor suggested postponing a decision on funding until
after the bond prioritization meeting scheduled for some time in
May, and noted that installation of traffic signals at this
location had been delayed for many years because the location did
not meet warrants for a traffic signal until just recently.
20
3/4/96
Council Member Negrete made a motion to hold the decision on
funding in abeyance until Council could obtain figures on the cost
of two of the San Marcos projects; namely, a high pressure water
line and upgraded lighting for the Mt. Vernon corridor, and use the
remaining money for the traffic signals, eliminating the need to
use CDBG funds.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by council
Member Anderson, that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer be
authorized to proceed with the design and engineering work and to
advertise for bids, with designation of funding to be identified at
a later time. (Note: The vote was not taken at this time.)
Council Member Devlin made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Member Anderson, that $120,000 from the funds designated
for San Marcos be earmarked for the traffic signals.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Anderson, and unanimously carried, that the Director of
Public Works/City Engineer be authorized to proceed with the design
and engineering work and to advertise for bids, with designation of
funding to be identified at a later time.
