BARTON ROAD WIDENING
The City Engineer referenced the Staff Report dated April 7, 1983,
Subject: Barton Road Widening, and requested guidance for further
negotiations with the property owners. Two alternatives were
presented to the property owners as outlined in the Staff Report.
Four of the six property owners who were present at the meeting
indicated a preference for Alternative No. 2 and requested that a
garden wall sufficient in height be constructed to protect the
property owners from the noise which would be generated by traffic.
Staff has been advised this qualifies for FAU funding. The cost of
the retaining wall and the garden wall, to consist of slumpstone, is
estimated at approximately $25,000 - $30,000.
Council, in discussion, questioned if two walls were being
constructed, and if all the funding was coming from the City.
Page 2
4/14/83
The City Engineer clarified that one wall will be constructed, with
the lower portion being the retaining wall, to support the
embankment, and the height of the wall being increased to serve as a
garden wall which will protect the properties from Barton Road.
Stated the City received a $90,000 allocation from FAU funding in a
four-year funding cycle to install the traffic signal at Barton Road
and Michigan; however, the City used its own funding to expedite
that project; the City is now in the second four-year funding cycle,
and has requested another allocation of $90,000, for a total of
$180,000 to be applied towards the project; the City's portion of
the cost which had been budgeted will be decreased.
Councilman Nix commended Staff on its successful negotiations with
Caltrans and coordination with the property owners to reach an
amiable solution to the matter.
Mayor Grant opened the meeting to public participation.
Sanford Collins, 22697 Brentwood Street, stated the Planning
Commission has endeavored to eliminate the increase of walled -in
areas similar to Mt. Vernon; questioned if some landscaping could be
provided. The City Engineer indicated the possibility of planting
landscaping to grow on the walls and establishing irrigation.
Mr. Yarnell, 22597 Miriam Wady, questioned the City Engineer as to
whether his problem of temporary access to his backyard could be
resolved. The City Engineer stated he feels that temporary access
could be provided from Barton Road.

Staff be further authorized to continue negotiating with the
property owner on the east end of Barton Road in the vicinity of
Victoria with the offer to the property similar to that given to
those in the vicinity of Arliss and Barton Road; (3) that Staff be
directed, upon completion of the negotiations and, based on those

allow all affected individuals an opportunity to review all data. 0
WEEKEND PARK MAINTENANCE - TERRACE HILLS COMMUNITY PARK
Council considered the concerns voiced by Mr. Dick Rollins relative
to use of the park facilities primarily by individuals outside the
City, and the recommendation that consideration be given to
providing funds in the FY 1983-84 budget for weekend maintenance.
Mr. Rollins clarified that he is not requesting payment for himself,
but for individuals to replace him when he is out of town; stated he
has previously been paying those individuals himself. Recommended
the Parks and Recreation Committee develop a program to encourage
local use of the facilities, particularly by local adults.
Council directed the Community Services Director to conduct a study
and submit recommendations and alternatives to Council relative to
controlling the use of the facilities, supervision, and
maintenance. Suggestions given for consideration were: Requiring a
majority of the group scheduling use of the facilities to be local
residents; develop a policy of preference for local residents;
requiring cleaning/damage deposits, to be returned upon satisfactory
inspection of the facilities; requiring out-of-town groups
scheduling activities to be sponsored by a local resident; and
requiring a user fee for out of town groups.
MOTOCROSS
The City Engineer referenced the Staff Report dated April 6, 1983,
Subject: Motocross, and indicated the cost for the Motocross could
vary from $8,100 to $10,500. Indicated the City Attorney should
consider bidding procedures and a possible agreement with Tim Engle
for operation of the track. The Community Services Director stated
the question of whether Tim Engle would receive compensation for
supervision of the construction phase of the track should be
addressed.
Council questioned the need for permanent restrooms and snackbar,
the proximity of the track to residences, and the need for
electricity, feeling lighting would create a nuisance for
surrounding homes.
Mr. Tim Engle advised that electricity would be needed to run the
P.A. system and to provide future lighting to allow sanctioned night
races, when required; concurred permanent restrooms would not be
needed. Advised he got bids to construct the track for a total cost
of $13,500, itemized as follows: $1,500 - fencing along Van Buren;
$2,800 - chain link fencing of track; $1,000 - grading; $1,500 -
water; $2,100 - labor; $2,000 - electricity; $1,700 - lighting;
Page 6
4/14/83
$1,500 - materials for snackbar; $200 - P.A. System; $200 - starting
gate; stated that total does not include the cost of City
requirements.
The City Attorney advised the City would be required to formally bid
the project, as required by law, since it would be over 5,000;
advised the project cannot be bifurcated. Indicated the formal
bidding procedure requires bonding and payment of prevailing wages,
which will increase the cost of the project. Suggested
consideration of leasing the property to Mr. Engle and requiring him
to provide liability insurance, with the City establishing the
necessary rules and regulations.
Council noted that the purpose of the track is to provide young
people with a place to ride bicycles, with no intent to construct it
to the specifications of any organization, such as the American
Bicycle Association, and would be controlled by the City;
recommended a minimal project in the $8,000 category.
CC-83-87 Motion by Councilman Rigley, Second by Councilman Petta, to direct
Staff to solicit bids for the construction of a Motocross Track.
Councilman Nix recommended consideration of phasing the project,
with construction on a self-help basis, to allow construction of the
project as economically as possible.
Mr. Dale Short, 22816 La Paix, referenced the City Attorney's
statements relative to leasing the property to Mr. Engle, and stated
that under those terms Mr. Engle would have all rights to the
property; if the property is not leased to him, the City would be
liable for contracting purposes and insurance.
The City Attorney advised that the property could be leased to an
individual who could then construct the facility, which would
preclude the requirement for formal bidding procedures.
Dick Rollins, 22700 DeBerry, recommended constructing a minimal
facility to provide an area for young people to ride bicycles. John
Mathews, 11733 Eton Drive, questioned the anticipated number of
participants. Ju 4 Rinderhagen, 12738 Wilmac, recommended
considering cost and safety factors.
Councilman Nix voiced support of a minimal recreational facility.
Councilman Rigley voiced support of a motocross track sanctioned by
the American Bicycle Association; requested that the RFP's be
approved by Council prior to being circulated.
Following discussion, Motion No. CC-83-87 carried, ALL AYES.

appropriate funds for cultural development of the community similar
to assistance given to the Chamber of Commerce.
Council indicated that consideration had been given to appropriating
$3,000 for this project, during the budget workshop sessions, in the
FY 1983-84 budget. Councilman Nix recommended that Council indicate
an interest in promoting this project, with funding to be provided
in increments at such time as the organization has been legally
formed.

it constitutes aesthetic blight and reduces the surrounding area's
property values.
Councilman Rigley also expressed concerned about that building, as
we as the property at the corner of Barton Road and Arliss; feels
action should be taken, particularly since these structures are in
the heart of the City. Stated the Colton Fire Department is issuing
citations on structures constituting a fire hazard, and recommended

concurrence of the Postal Department.
