MINUTE ORDER 04 -186 <br />9. MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br />A. Legislation (information only) - This sub - section involves possible discussion of <br />City Position on Proposed Legislation described in the League of California <br />Cities Priority Focus Bulletin No. 36 -2004. Council may direct staff to act on <br />positions taken by Council. (Copies of League of California Cities Priority Focus <br />available in City Clerk's Department). <br />B. Council Member Bain — brought up two traffic related issues. Both items are <br />designed to direct staff to return to Council with reports at a future time in order to <br />properly notice and place on the Council agenda. The following are the issues: <br />1. By consensus, direct staff to come back to the Council with a report on the <br />cost and effectiveness of new electronic speed control signs being used by <br />Palo Alto, San Mateo and other Bay Area cities. Included in that report <br />should be thoughts /recommendations as to where the signs might be <br />effective. <br />Council Member Bain showed some photographs explaining the electronic <br />speed signs he referred to during the budget hearings. <br />2. By consensus, direct staff to come back to the Council with an estimate for <br />hiring a consultant to take inventory of the City's uncontrolled intersections. <br />He stated that the information will give us a better understanding of signage <br />gaps that will allow us to more effectively target resources. <br />The second report Council Member Bain requested is regarding the cost <br />involved in hiring a consultant to evaluate all of the uncontrolled <br />intersections in Redwood City and suggest some possible next steps for <br />control. He stated that he would like to consider the broader picture of <br />studying how many uncontrolled intersections are still out there and that <br />one of the issues is that we do not know how many there are or the <br />locations. <br />CITY COUNCIL AND SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 <br />REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY JOINT MEETING MINUTES PAGE 8 <br />MINUTES Book No. 60 <br />Page No. 325 <br />
