Minute Order 08.112 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 20.93 TO ARTICLE VII OF CHAPTER 20 OF THE <br />MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY PROHIBITING PARKING ON <br />PUBLIC STREETS DURING SPECIFIED HOURS FOR STREET SWEEPING PURPOSES <br />(Introductionlfirst reading June 9, 2008) Minute Order 08.111 <br /> <br />Marilyn Harang, Public Works Superintendent, shared a slide presentation (on file). She <br />explained the proposed schedule for parking and street cleaning. Her presentation <br />included photo examples of the areas of concern. Ms. Harang confirmed that the public <br />was notified about this meeting. <br /> <br />Council asked for background on the various requests received on Douglas, and stressed <br />the concerns of areas in the commercial district. <br /> <br />Ms. Harang stated there were budget cuts in 2002, to which they lost an operator, and had <br />to reconfigure the route schedule throughout the City. In calculating what needed to be <br />done, they came to the conclusion that they needed longer (as opposed to more) days, so <br />they began a longer 4-day schedule. She gave an overview of their protocol for dealing <br />with regular and pilot street cleaning schedules, including trouble-shooting problems for <br />each. <br /> <br />Council noted the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Board had expressed an <br />interest in the street cleaning plan and asked if this was due to pollution concerns regarding <br />debris and rain runoff into the bay, and were told this was correct. Ms. Harang stated <br />Council was also correct in their understanding that fine ramp ups were meant as a <br />deterrent against pollution. She stated they were targeting streets where there had been <br />prior difficulty getting to the curbs and gutters and would be putting out extra 48-hour <br />notices in these problem areas. <br /> <br />Council asked how long the County program had existed on Douglas Avenue and Ms. <br />Harang offered to look into it. Because of the number of cars on Douglas Avenue, Council <br />asked if neighboring areas were forewarned regarding the overflow parking from a vacated <br />Douglas. Ms. Harang stated the public would be notified. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Howard thanked Public Works Staff and the Utilities Committee for their work. <br />Council spoke on the rationale for cars in the area, and asked for clarification on how the <br />new process would work better. Ms. Harang gave an overview of the process for <br />abandoned cars, and also deferred to the Police Department. <br /> <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING <br />MINUTES <br /> <br />JUNE 9, 2008 <br />PAGE 8 <br />
