something should be done -with the corner and, though the price might be high, the need is such that the property,should be purchased. Councilman Weiss was of the opinion that all decisions should be deferred until they can have a more thorough study made of an overall plan before taking any further action. He also feels that this is not a final solution of this problem and that the matter should be held in abeyance for sixty days for further study. Councilman Herkner_ was of the opinion that there were some answers which needed answering before the Council reached.a final decision. The questions were is the ORR plan 100a perfect, if not 1005 perfect is there some other plan which viould be feasible, and does the City have the money available to purchase the property. If the money is not available, then the Council should not go along with the purchase. Mayor Royer stated that the Council has had a number of study meetings and he was of the opinion that they possibly have had enough meetings to reach a decision at this time. This was followed by discussion in regard to plans which would be put into effect, who recom— .r.r mended the plan lines, dead—end streets, and State report on 3 phase signals. Councilman Granger was asked to repeat his motion. Councilman Granger moved to get the thinking of the Council to see if they recognize the responsibility of the dead—end street and the street development of the area, and the matter of money is not an issue at this point. If the Council can purchase the property for °20,000, would the City go for this in favor and over the matter of signals? Councilman Stout stated that because of the basis of the street being a dead—end street in Councilman Granger's opinion he,withdrew his second to the motion, and he was of the opinion that the motion should be made more affirmative. Councilman Granger's motion lost.f or lack of a second. Councilman Stout moved that the Council take the necessary steps.'to establish the plan lines as set forth and purchase the property and ways and means found to obtain the necessary funds. Councilman Granger stated that this motion has the intent that he wanted so he.seconded the motion. Councilman Weiss was still of the opinion that the purchase of this � p' p property is inadvisable until such time as further methods have been checked into and other matters and needs checked into rather than spending Nod $$70,000. This was f ollot-red by discussion in regard to the three phase signal. The motion lost on roll call, Councilmen Hritschgi, Herkner, Spillers, Weiss and Royer voting No. Councilman Spillers wanted the record to show that it didn't make any difference if the property is purchased or not so that was why he was voting NO. Councilman Spillers offered RESOLUTION 2023 ABANDONING PLAN LINES ON WHIPPLE AVENUE and moved its adoption, seconded by Councilman Britschgi. Councilman Weiss was of the opion that this should be held over for 30 to 60 days and check into the matter of finding the available money if it is at all Possible. This was followed by discussion as to whether.or not the Council could, at a later date, set new plan lines. Also under discussion was whether or not the Leonards would be willing to sell 10' of their property in an attempt to establish a larger curve on the corner of Whipple and El Camino Real. Mr. Grupp, attorney for the Leonards, thought that this could be done.
