DIAL -A -RIDE (1201) Councilwoman Shaw noted that this
program was funded through June 30
and that it is now time to apply for renewal of the grant; this application has
to be submitted by March 6th. Rolling Hills Estates will be the lead agency again
for this program.
After Council discussion, Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach
to send a letter to the City of Rolling Hills Estates reaffirming the City's sup-
port for the Dial -A -Ride Program under similar conditions approved by the Council
last year. The motion carried 4 - 0.
Council requested a report on the evaluation and effects of this program at the
end of June.
ANIMAL CONTROL - "SCOOP" LAW (104) Mrs. Lillian Gafne, 6402 Ridgebyrne
Court, requested that the Council
consider adopting a "scoop" law similar to the one adopted by the beach cities.
After Council discussion , Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Shaw
that staff bring back recommendations showing the pros and cons of the proposed
ordinance. The motion carried 4 - 0.
STUDENT & THE LAW PROGRAM (1705) Mayor Hein noted receipt of a letter
from Jim Ryan, Assistant Principal
of Miraleste High School requesting that the City pay for the text books to be
used in conjunction with this program.
After Council discussion, Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach
to write Mr. Ryan thanking him for his letter but deny the request for $170 to
pay for these books. The motion carried 3 1 with Councilwoman Shaw voting in
opposition.
ROUTE 91/1 -110 GAP CLOSURE (310) Councilwoman Bacharach reported
that as a result of sanctions
being imposed on the State of California for failure to adopt a vehicle inspection
and maintenance program, the Environmental Protection Agency is now considering
freezing funds to complete the 1/2 mile gap between the Artesia Freeway and the
Harbor Freeway. She then moved, seconded by Councilwoman Shaw to send a letter
to the EPA encouraging them not to freeze funds on this gap closure project.
The motion failed on a 2 - 2 vote with Councilmembers Dyda and Mayor Hein voting
in opposition.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Mayor Hein to draft a letter to the EPA re-
iterating our position with regard to the appropriateness of them creating such
sanctions and reiterating the fact that this, along with other sanctions, are
totally inappropriate. The motion carried 4 - 0.
Council requested that a copy of this letter be sent to our U. S. Congressman and
the chairman of the subcommittee that has jurisdiction over the functions of the EPA.
RESOL. NO. 81 -17 - AUTHORIZING
APPLICATION FOR DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE PROGRAM GRANT (1206)
The City Manager summarized this
grant as described in the February
20 letter from the L. A. County
Sheriff's Office.
Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach to adopt RESOLUTION
NO. 81 -18 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR A DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM GRANT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1981 -1982.
With the permission of the maker and the second, Councilman Dyda requested an
amendment to adopt the resolution but instruct staff to obtain Council approval
of the program before acceptance of the grant. The motion as amended carried
4 - 0.
RESOL. NO. 81 -18 SUMMARILY VACATING Director Abbott presented the staff
AN EXCESS RIGHT -OF -WAY ON PALOS memorandum of March 3 which sum -
VERDES DRIVE EAST (1408) marized this matter of vacation
of a portion of a right -of -way
