PUBLIC COMMENT
Sarah Gronstrand of the Friends of the Library spoke. She said, "they had
received additional information that arrived too late for the Council Meeting
Agenda. She said that in July they had talked about being willing to exchange
the lot Mr. Polin had cr,iven them for another should one be available to them.
They found that there are few lots in the areas of high visibility and those
that exist are very expensive. They have not found anyone who is willing to
equal Mr. Polin's generosity in the gift of a lot.
Last week Dale Perkins, the County Library Director told them that 'there has
been a change in the financial picture. $3,000,000 will become available for
libraries in California in the spring of 1985. Mr. Perkins thinks it is very
important that the library be in a position to apply for some of this money.
In order to do this they must have preliminary drawings and documentation for
the proposed library. ,
Mr. Perkins visited the lot and found it very acceptable, both in terms of
size and visibility. Mr. Perkins is requesting the supervisors to release
some of the money they allocated for the Atascadero Library in order to hire
an architect to prepare preliminary drawings and documentation. These are
exciting new developments that give them cause to be most optimistic about
obtaining additional funding for the new library in our city
COUNCIL COMMENT
Mayor Pro Tem Handshy introduced the new Recreation Director, Bob Best.

Councilman Molina said he has been approached by quite a few people regarding
the speeding and traffic situation in the City of Atascadero. He feels that
the council should make some type of policy to re -enforce that they will back
the police department and maybe hit the violators that are speeding in the city.
He feels that as a council they should make a policy saying that the police
department will be giving citations after a two week period of warning. This
should be done before some one is injured or killed, especially some kids.
Also the semi -trucks and trailers parking on El Camino which is making it very
dangerous for people coming out of Principal & La Linia. Trucks are parking
too close to the corners and people can't see and it is very dangerous. We
ought to think about enforcing that also. But mainly, he would like the speed-
ing violations enforced.
Councilwoman Mackey said she agreed with Councilman Molina and that sheds
threatening to have a bumper sticker made saying, I'm driving the speed limit,
so why are you passing me".
Councilman Molina said that the council should support the police department.
He suggested that the council make some type of policy saying that we will
start issuing citations if they don't adhere to the safety laws and speed
limits in Atascadero.
Councilwoman Norris said she agreed with Councilman Molina.
MOTION: By Councilman Molina that the staff prepare a policy statement for
council consideration on the strict enforcement of the speed limits
including a warning procedure. Seconded by Councilwoman Norris.
Passed unanimously 4:0.
