Vonheeder requested that a correction be made to page 172 of the minutes. The motion adopting the Smoking Pollution Control Ordinance was seconded by Cm. Jeffery rather than Cm. Vonheeder. Cm. Hegarty requested that the planning consultant agreement be removed from the consent calendar for questions. Staff clarified that the zoning ordinance needs to be brought into conformance with regard to the densities identified in the General Plan. This will be the first step to reviewing the zoning ordinance. Public hearings will be conducted over the next year and anyone who so desires will have a chance to be heard. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council: Approved corrected Minutes of Regular Meeting of August 11, 1986; Authorized City Manager Ambrose to enter into an agreement with Duncan & Jones for Planning Consultant services; DONOHUE DRIVE TRAFFIC STUDY The City Council received a report from the City's Traffic Engineering firm, TJKM in October, 1985, regarding a speed study that was done on Donohue Drive and Landale Avenue. Ty Takawa, TJKM, indicated that the report stated that the prevailing speeds observed on Donohue Drive were in the 34-37 mph range. Stop sign placements were studied at three intersections: Donohue Drive @ Gardella Drive, and @ Ironwood Drive and Landale Avenue @ Vomac Road. TJKM felt that the placement of stop signs in these locations would not do anything to lessen the speed of vehicles traveling on the long unbroken section of Donohue Drive and might, in fact, cause speeds to increase. The report also stated that motorists might be inclined not to stop at these proposed stop signs because of the low volume of side-street traffic at these locations. While the traffic volume is higher at the Vomac/Landale intersection, a stop sign in this location would have no effect on speeds on either Landale or Donohue. The recommendation of this report was to increase police enforcement of the 25 mph speed limit on these streets and to install reflective pavement markers along the yellow stripe on Donohue Drive and Landale Avenue. The Council requested that a review of this report be placed on the agenda for this meeting. CM-5-179 Regular Meeting August 25, 1986 The placement of speed buttons/bumps was discussed. Staff reported that this was considered initially and the residents felt they would create too much noise. Mr. Takawa indicated that ceramic buttons may be an alternative and they could be staggered with reflective markers. The volume on this road is approximately 1600 vehicles per day. Cm. Hegarty suggested putting in bumps as a starter. On motion of Cm. Vonheeder, seconded by Cml Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council agreed to continue this item until the meeting of September 8, 1986, and directed Staff to notify all residents along the streets in question. Residents should be told that they will be able to make their requests and feelings known at this meeting. SAN RAMON ROAD PHASE II - AWARD OF BID - CONTRACT No. 86-6 At its meeting of April 28, 1986, the City Council authorized Staff to advertise the San Ramon Road Phase II Street Reconstruction, Traffic Signal, Street Lighting and Landscaping Contract 86-6 for bids. The City received a total of 5 bids for this project. The low bidder was Grade Way Construction. The bids received ranged from '$1,837,181.89 to $2,195,063.44, the low bid being approximately $400,000 over the Engineer's Estimate. The major differences over the estimate were discussed. Because the 5 bids received were relatively close in range, it was felt that no cost savings would be realized by rebidding the project. City Manager Ambrose reported that $1,244,100 was budgeted for the construction portion of this project. Cm. Hegarty questioned if assessments will be adjusted to fit within the new costs. City Engineer Thompson indicated that it would be necessary to conduct another public hearing. This will most likely be done at the end of the project. When final figures are in, the assessments to the properties can be adjusted. On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council awarded the bid to Grade Way Construction, Inc., authorized the Mayor to execute the agreement;and authorized an additional appropriation from the Street Improvement Reserve in the amount of $594,000. CM-5-180 Regular Meeting August 25, 1986 OTHER BUSINESS Sierra Court Construction Project/Labor Day Soccer Tournament City Manager Ambrose reported that due to the project under construction at the corner of Dublin Boulevard and Sierra Court, several parking spaces at the Sports Grounds have been eliminated. Dublin Soccer groups are having a major tournament over Labor Day Weekend, and Staff is working on some alternatives to provide additional parking, as well as private traffic control. Staff received approval to utilize the parking lot at Valley High School. It will cost approximately $600 to fund private traffic control needed as a result of the City's construction project. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Vonheeder, and by unanimous vote, the Council authorized the expenditure of approximately $600 out of the Police Department Budget to fund private traffic officers to direct the traffic. North Pleasanton Assessment District City Manager Ambrose indicated that there would be a meeting this week with a group of property owners affected by the North PleaSanton Assessment District and its potential impact on property owners in the annexation area and future annexation areas. Industrial Park Sign City Manager Ambrose reported that the owner of the industrial park sign at corner of Dublin Boulevard and Sierra Court had decided to remove the entire sign. The project has been completed and the sign is gone. East Bay League of CA Cities Meeting Cm. Vonheeder gave a report on an East Bay League meeting she had recently attended. The League's Executive Director was the speaker. The League will be highly involved in the tort reform issue, and will be looking at all issues of Proposition 51.
