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. MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting November 13, 1984 Atascadero Administration Building Page 2 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.
