i ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF BUILDING CODE, IN LENOLT TRACT. .Building Inspector submitted re- port (1) Fence along Stafford & B Streets had been cut down to three feet in height which was legal. (2) Auto Courts on Stafford & A Streets were built within one foot of property line and had no openings. This was allowed by the building code. (3) Laundry room built on rear of home at 307 A Street was within two or three inches of the property line which was a violation. Building Inspector Duncan contacted Mr. Weiner and Mr. Weiner claimed he did not build said laundry room. Evidently this was built by the owner without a permit as Mr. D uncan could find no record of a per- mit having been issued. Mr. Lennon appeared and p protested again, and also presented pictures._ Mayor Werder suggested that the Building Inspector find out who built the laundry room. TRAFFIC:AND SAFETY DIVISION. City Manager Rolison submitted report on this proposed divi- sion, a copy having been given to each member of.the Council. The study was con- ducted by Police Lt. Stanley Wood and Administrative Assistant Miller and some of the procedures recommended by the League of California Cities were suggested. It - was suggested that a permanent fact finding committee be created consisting of the Chief of Police or representative from his office, a police officer to be assigned from existing personnel to the primary duty of traffic supervisor, the City Engineer, or a representative of his office and the Planning Advisor. It was recommended that a committee be delegated sufficient authority, consistent with existing ordinances, to take direct action, subject to the approval of the City Manager, on all minor traffic matters. If approved by the Council the additional cost for the remaining eleven months in the current fiscal year for salaries of steno -clerk, planning ad- visor, a filing case, office furniture, printing, etc., would be approximately x;3000 which was itemized in his report. This would be a proper charge against parking meter revenues. Office space for the purpose would be needed as well as additional office space for the Auditor -Assessor and should be jointly considered. Councilman Granger moved that City Manager Rolison's recommendation be approvEd on condition that the amount to be charged against the Parking Meter Fund came within the per- centages allowed under the Council resolution setting up such fund, seconded by Councilman Holmquist, and carried, Councilman Britschgi voting No. RESOLUTION No. 607. Councilman Spillers offered resolution and moved adoption transfer- ring $40,000 from the General Reserve Account to keep the General Fund on a cash basis until the taxes come in, which would be replaced immediately after December let, seconded by Councilman Holmquist, and carried on roll call.
