operation. He requested a report from Assistant City Manager Donlevy on the
stop sign on Mt. Vernon and Grand Terrace Road.
Assistant City Manager DonlM, reported that the installation of the stop sign
will begin in the next two weeks where they will be fazing in the stop signs.

have bags over them for about a week to let the public be aware of them. On
Wednesday, October 26, 1994 the street will be painted, flashers will be installed
and the bags will be removed from the signs.
C-ouncilmember Buchanan, questioned the use of flashers in connection with stop
signs. He stated that he has seen warning lights above a stop light warning sign
in a couple of locations, and questioned whether lights like that would be
permissible for the stop sign.
City Engineer Kicak, replied that would not be permissible, he stated that the
amber flashers that are located at the stop light warning sign would have to be
turned off. He also stated that there are two locations where temporary red
flashing lights, one solar operated and the other battery operated, will have to go
up and be adjacent to the stop sign the minute the stop signs go up. The length
of time that the red flashing lights stay up is at the discretion of the Public
Agency, he recommended that they be up no less than one week.
Mayor Matteson, reported that he was contacted by a resident that was in a
motorcycle accident coming off the freeway during last weeks rain by hitting the
red bricks and losing traction. He questioned whether it was more slippery
having the red brick effect.
City Engineer Kicak, replied that it is probably a combination of both oil on the
street in conjunction with the first rain of the season and the red brick being
smoother.
Mayor Matteson, questioned whether anything could be done to eliminate the
slickness.
City Engineer Kicak, stated that the purpose of the red brick effect was to
provide beauty and it would be difficult to give it a broomed finish and still call
it an acceptable product. Under normal driving conditions there should not be a
problem.
