Council on the effects of this bill which would
pre -empt City control of signs and billboards.

strongly worded letter be
sent to our representatives on this bill.
SOUTH BAY CORRIDOR -
Mrs. Hightower referred to the February 7,
LETTER FROM
1983 letter from Aldaron, Inc. requesting that
ALDARON, INC. (1505)
the City urge the Transportation Commission to
act on early implementation of improvements in
the South Bay Corridor.
Council then discussed if it was premature to make this request of the Commis -
sion at this time.

and file this request.
HUGHES MARKET HOURS OF Mrs. Hightower referred to the February 8,
OPERATION - LETTER FROM 1983 letter from the City of Rolling Hills
THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS Estates requesting that the Council consider

their hours. Staff prepared a letter in response

L.A. CITY ZONE CASE Mrs. Hightower told the Council that she has
N0. 30678 looked at this zone case which is adjacent to
the newly annexed Eastview area and which had
been brought up at the recently held Town Hall meeting in that area. In
viewing the plans, she determined that it really was a down zoning and not the
increase in density or height that the resident had feared. She said she
would contact the resident and explain this to her.
SOUTH BAY PROMOTIONS - Representing South Bay Promotions was Steve
TRIATHLON (305) Whitehead who explained that he is currently
applying for a non - profit tax exempt corporate
status from the Secretary of State; he is planning this Triathlon to raise
money for the Switzer Center. There will be no expense to the City; the
organization will pay police costs.
Council -5- FEBRUARY 15, 1983
After Council inquiry of whether Mr. Whitehead had experience in conducting
such an event, the number of participants, and if he had received permission
from the other Peninsula cities for use of their streets, it was the consensus
that the Community Services Director should look into this proposal further
and make a recommendation to the Council.
ADJOURNMENT At 9:00 P.M. Councilman Dyda moved to adjourn
to February 23, 1983 at 7:30 P.M. for a Town
Hall meeting at Ridgecrest Intermediate
