ACTIONS TAKEN:
Eliminate Inactive Ad-Hoc Subcommittees (November) –Subcommittees are
an effective way to facilitate the efficient flow of communications and ensure
Commissioners actively participate in the research, study, and development of
proposed recommendations and programs related to a specific purpose. Due to
the recent departures of certain PSAC Commissioners, certain Subcommittee
seats had resulted in vacancies. In addition, most of the Subcommittees had
been inactive for some time now and were no longer needed. Since
Subcommittees are created based on as-needed basis for a specific purpose,
staff recommended eliminating the inactive Neighborhood Calming, Animal
2
Control, Quarterly Commission Report, Public Transportation and Sidewalk,
Lake Use, Bike and Trail Master Plan Subcommittees. The Homeless Task
Force Subcommittee will remain. The Commission approved the updated Ad-
Hoc Subcommittee list and eliminated the Subcommittees that were no longer
needed or active.
Traffic Engineer Update (November) –Commission was updated on Railroad
Canyon Road and Canyon Hills Road pedestrian push buttons, 1-15 NB Off-
ramp all way stops signs, new traffic signals in Terra Cotta, Central Avenue new
signs, Herk Bouris Elementary School no parking signs and red curb installation,
Dexter and Central Avenue new signal timing, SB-821 Grant and projects, and
Cultural Center Parking Lot project.
Administration of Annual Passes (December) –In March 2017, the City
Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-013, which provided the regulations and
fees for use of lake, resort, and boat launches. In effort to become more web
user friendly, City staff have worked to offer all annual passes available for
purchase on the City’s website. In addition, City staff have developed a system in
which the annual passes shall be valid for twelve months from the date of
issuance and expire the last day of the month. For example, if a pass is issued
on March 10, 2018, the pass would expire March 31, 2019. The Commission
reviewed, discussed and approved the Administration of Annual Passes.
Traffic Engineer Update (December) –Commission was updated on the new
Terra Cotta signals, and the State Route 74 sewer work by Caltrans.
