' lighting on Barton Road and requested iil'umination to alleviate

considered on Mt. Vernon Avenue and Michigan Street; suggested using
the wood poles already in existence to provide lighting at a minimal
cost.
Responding to Mayor Grant relative to status on the street light
issue, City Manager Armstead advised that engineering was currently
working on the problem; noted that engineering reports had been -
previously prepared, however, proposals brought forth to Council had
been disapproved.
Page 2 -
(11/7/85)
Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Matteson's recommendation that staff
investigate and submit a report on the feasibility and cost of a
street lighting program for all of Barton Road, City Attorney Hopkins
recommended Council review the previous information submitted for a
proposed Landscaping and Street Lighting District due to the cost to
prepare this information.
Councilman Evans questioned whether the Supreme Court had rendered an
opinion that a lighting district would be in violation of Proposition
13; cited a recent Rialto incident where a proposed district was
denied. City Attorney Hopkins advised this specific type of benefit
district has been upheld; Rialto's proposed district was turned down
due to failure to comply with proper legal noticing requirements.
Councilman Evans stated, based upon his knowledge of past assessment
districts, he could not support such a district; however, would be
willing to review documentation, including legal opinions rendered.
Mayor Grant requested prior engineering reports be resubmitted for
review of cost and feasibility along with legal opinions rendered
relative to the establishment of a Lighting Assessment District to
fund such a project.
Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Mayor Grant, to direct staff to
investigate this matter and arrange to have arms installed on existing
wood poles on Barton Road for lighting and pay the minimal energy
cost.
Following Council discussion relative to cost and the necessity for
additional information, Acting City Engineer Shone suggested
submitting the following at next meeting: (1) Maps of Barton Road and
Mt. Vernon Avenue showing existing poles; (2) Staff recommendations
for proposed lighting locations and estimated costs thereof.

withdrew Motion, with its Second in concurrence.

and, if it could be sold at a substantial sum, setting these monies
aside for the development of a park site as proposed by the Edison
Company; voiced support of above recommendations; opposed any more
time or effort being expended on acquiring additional land for
Wilderness Park; felt there were much more important items to be

accomplished thusfar, as reported by Councilman Petta at the last
meeting.
Councilman Petta, with Susan Crawford, Chairwoman of the Wilderness
Park Committee concurring, observed the importance of preserving the

and felt it a worthwhile endeavor that should be continued. Mr.
Rollins advised that the Parks and Recreation Committee is not opposed
to preserving Blue Mountain as a Wilderness Park area, but concerned
with losing the City' s 1.5 acres. Susan Crawford related that it was
initially thought that the 1.5 acres had been donated to the City;
however, when it was realized that a substantial amount of money was

merely a smoke screen.

Mayor Grant noted receipt of the following correspondence: (1) Letter
of November 5, 1985 from Fred Thomson, previously read into the record
by Tom Thomson; (2) Letter of October 26, 1985 from Richard G. Allen,

essential public services and facilities of Public Utilities."; (2)
Cliff Williams, representing the County's Environmental Health
Service, indicated that the proposed decibel levels of 60 dBa at night
and 65 dBa during the day may not provide the protection desired by
Council .
Councilman Evans questioned the possibility of removing all
references to decibel levels as well as adding the prohibiting of
noise in MR Zones abutted on any side by an R1 Zone previously
proposed by Mr. Easter. City Attorney Hopkins advised these revisions
could be made.
Councilman Evans further questioned whether the proposed 125 foot
buffer zone by Inland Lumber Company would take care of the problem.
Acting City Engineer John Shone advised that the buffer zone along
with the building of a block wall will help to abate the noise
problem; however, in the quiet of the night noise would still be
heard.
