SHFRF DEPARTMENT Sheriff's Since there bias no opposition from the Commission Members, Siairperson Department g ,. requested that the order of the agenda be changed. The Report Fraud Detai from Lt. Thomas was deferred to the third item on the agenda. 1. Report from Sgt. Harris of the Sheriff's Department Detective Division. Sgt. Harris is in charge of a 3-person dbMoWt,ate. " gation. - He reported that the detail wade over 100 felony arrests last¢ year. He belongs to ..he California Ctleck Investigators Association, which is composed of people from law enforcement, banks, large stores, and others, who work together to apprehend and prosecute passers of bad chedks and stolen credit cards, etc. Sgt. Harris said that check fraud is based on the intent to defraud and they are after the organized gangs rather than the person who overdraws on his/her bank account. The fraud detail accepts cases with the idea that they will prosecute. They have q=WQ4* a. fe=which a fra vlctim fills out.in case a bad check is accepted. This is a worthwhi :tool to the investigation. Check passers will use several meth % 1) They will size up the personnel in the stores. Often an inexperienced employee is chosen to pass the bad check to, or it is done at a busy times, such as Christmas when there may be many new employees and a greater volume of business. 2) They will take a child by the hand so as to appear to 4 .be a local resident. 3) Check cashing cards can be marked approved ' with a printing kit (the customer's bank is supposed to approve check Cashing cards), so that the store will cash the person's checks. - 4) Phoney references will be put down on credit apgiieations (e.g.- one man put down his girlfriend's telephone number as a place of employment and asked that the number be called only between certain hours. The girl would then answer her phone between those house with the name of the employer and give the man a glowing reference). NOTE: COMM. DUNBAR ARRIVEDAT /i54 Y.mw Precautions that businesses can take are to get 2 forms of identification, and check the picture on the driver's license and the signatures. Follow this proceduresevery time. Do not accept laminated driver's licenses unless it is certain that the picture and signature have not been tampered with. Don't cash a check-just because the customer raises a fuss about the procedure. This may be a ploy of a bad check passer. „ rr - y MUTES OF THE DE ER 8, 1977 P98LIC SAHM G PSC�-75 Page 3 Comm. Ebezhardt asked if the fraud detail handled bad check only, or if credit :-ird fraud was also include6. $St s rep el that stolen credit ca counterfeit.'cardsA are also handled by-the .detail, but that most *a. .r work was with bad checks. He-said the detail only hears aboi � of the bad checks and that In the three years since he has been as: ;,.­,-d to the deteil, the<nur6er of Incidents-bas increased each year. he said._” at he does'-bot have any statistics for 'Cupertino specifically, but th,.t Cupertino stores are very cooperative. He noted that Vallco rece. •_1_ `, .j a three-day seminar to inform esWIoyees about bad checks, theft, biz ' , ,ary, etc. Comm. Ford counted that some of the large chain scores have automated credit card checks- Sgt. Harris said this is an effective mthod to check on stolen credit 'cardd, but stated that the output is only as good as the input on this and other methods such as call-in, etc. Computerized systems are move accurate than others. Sgt. Harris left a couple of tips. 1) Don't throw away deposit slips. A thief could get your account number, and even a copy of your signature. 2) Stores should not keep customer checks, as there is no way to check the information the person puts down on the bang. CENTRAL FIRE DISTRICT ® 2. Report from Chief Payne on November, 1977 fire activity in,Cupertino. Chief Payne said that the number of responses is running about normal. Normal He said that there is usually an increase in emergency medical calls activity during the holiday season. Fire loss was well within season for the tnV of fires. In response to a q:mstion by Comm. Dunbar, Chief Payne waid that he Monte Vista did not know what kind of explosive was used on the Monts, Vista Substatiom Substation bombing. He stated that in the past, pipe bombs have been used and have explosion been placed at the base of the transformer. Intthis case, the bomb was placed up on ae tower. Comm. Fiord noted that the New World Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the bombing. Regarding paramedics, Chief Payne said that he does not know when the Paramedics problems regarding the program will be resolved. One problem is `that the Fire Department =".. of get the EM I course taught in-house. Comm. Ford asked if� the Central fire District has done investigation on School fire school fires. Chief Payne said that there have been 6 school fires since Thanksgiving. There were none in the Central Fire District. t He commented that schools are under State jurisdiction and not under local jurisdiction. Chief Payne reported that the Joint Powers Authority for the .West Valley JPA dissol Fire Agreement has been terminated. Campbell and Los Gatos do not wish to participate.

He noted that bicycle 3.f:censing -will be allowed at the fire station between 1 and 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays as well as 4-6 on weekdays. The City of Cupertino also does bicycle licensing at City Hall. SHERIFF'S DEPAfi NT I Delay in Chairperson `� noted that there is usually a 2 or 3 month delay receiving in getting the reports from the Sheriff's Department. Lt. Thomas said activity that a record improvement system is being implemented. The September reports report should be available December 12 and the October report on December 14. From then on, delivery should be on time. They will come out on the 15th of each month, which would make a one-tenth delay for the Public. Safety Wumission on reports. Comm. Dunbar asked if separate ® incidents show up on the reports if committed by the same person resulting in one arrest or if the arrest showed up as a single incident. Lt. Thomas said that the separate incidents would show up on the report. Channel- Lt. Thomas noted that there has been a rash of burglaries in which the lock Burg- channel lock method has been used (the burglar takes a wrench and breaks caries the lock on the door). There are 2 or 3 people in custody. The Sheriff's Department feels they are part of a group. They go in and observe an area for a while before attempting a burglary. He said that a more suspicious attitude about people sitting in parked cars for long periods of time would be helpful. Burglary There were 38 burglary incidents in November for residential, 18 for statistics commercial, 7 for thefts, and 2 " " " . Loss was $126,248 and recovery was $7,779. There were w3 Yfelony arrests in November. When asked about the County Comparison report of 15 cities, Lt. Thomas said this is not available because the cities have rot be inputting the information. Publicize Comm. Ford suggested that it might help to publicize the ,fact there have burglary been some Channel Lock burglaries. Chairperson , x „ , suggested that prevention special precautions might be publicized.in the Courier or the Valley Journal, since the Scene would not cojes out until after Christmas. Lt. T'.:omas will get a press release and send it to.

(Hate: this Is referring to yes of.telling football students to move along; not Physical han4linj,,) Lt. Thomas said that tgames. trying to move people cut of the parking area after a game may result in a manner which some .-yuld interpret as brusque. comm. Ford noted that he had not heard of any problems. Comm. Aftpp asked if there had been an opportunity for good community relations following the fatal motorcycle accident in Cupertino last: mDnth. Commissioners felt that attempts to push motorcycle safety immediately after the accident would not have been well: accepted and that comments fium the kids themselves indicated that just the impact of the deaths was enough. Motorcycle safety lectures would not have been received well.- Lt. Thomas asked if a Commission sold like someone else from the Special Sheriff's Departments. oi �.. reports f suggested Sgt. Timmons, they Department s bomb' specialist, would be a good Sheriff's candidate. After some discussion, Commissioners agreed that they mould Department like to have Sgt. Timmons come to the January meeting. Chairperson .Iftasked if the Sheriffs Department plans to give course Mace coarse° on how to use mace. Lt. Thomas said that the courses would probably be offered through the local colleges. Comm. Ford noteid'`that the schools are reluctant to give the courses because it would involve hiring of some- one qualified to give mace use courses for citizens. There are special courses depending on who it is given to. (e.g. a different course is used for`1°3w enforcement courses than for citizens),. Hr noted that DeAnza College does not have POST approval for the firearms course but will probably have it soon. Chairperson :togers asked if the new mandatory sentencing law allows for Mandatory time off for good behavior. Comm. Dunbar indicated that the new lacy is sentencing quite complicated and : :, not structured for reduced sentences. The inters law is punishment rather than rehabilitation. It will also affect plea - bargaining. It will probabl7 create additional pressures for the Sheriff' Department. Lt. Thomas commented that he could not provide statistics on battered Battered women as Chairperson , requested as they are not available at this spouses time. Lt.

Report from Public Safety Commission on Building Secuftty Standards. Building Comm. Dunbar reported that he has ]looked at several building security �{ Security standards, including Mountain View, Oakland, Newark, and Milpitas, and Standards they run anywhere from extreme security precautions to very lenient-ones. He commented that the most practical applicability would be to new construction or modifications and to commercial security. He said that the area he found most difficult to deal with is in the commercial building security, where rooftop entry is facilitated by fencing around the roof to hide air conditioning units and common roofs and air spa 1te-a cell ag-mad roof. This is also a fire hazard since the typical' aiir space above ceilings is not air-conditioned and has no fire walks. He suggested that an outline be out together of items that might be considered under commercial building security is to be adopted, there most be a great deal of coordination within the City government. For example, H-Control and the Planning Commission would have to agree as to security guidelines In construction. Comm. Ford said that he had a conversation with Mr. Quinlan last week, x and theite<is a_ rbssib lity of a grant for an architect to work on design features and add-on features. Ross Smith will check with Mr. Quinlan to see if the funds will be available. Chairpert.an J40M, commented that Cupertino is developing rapidly and a long review period might delay an ordinance until it was too late to do any good. Comm. Ford and Comm. Dunbar pointed out that the lead time would be at least 2 years and that a_:possible ordinance could impact mostly modifications made to commercial structures, since a building permit must be obtained for remodeling. Comm. Ford commented that he is inclined to wait and see if Cupertino can utilize the resources of the county. Comm. Gonzalez said that information should be coordinated and sent to H-Control so that they are awaretiof PSC's concerns. He said that he would like to see changes in the Uniform Building Code because this would be a good method of enforcement. He commented that, although H-Control has been accused of being arbitrary, it is the only way of establishing a citizens lobby tb avoid unattractive structures and etc. in Cupertino. 5. Discussion by the Public Safety Commission on status of bike lanes in Cupertino. Chairperson EW.,9 ,};'' stated that the Planning Commission requested that the Public Safety Commission address which segment of Stevens Creek Blvd. is to be considered for bike lanes. J Ala�. ..ab_. fi` _ �• 4T 3 1°Si .� f. h e ,�n{' KnWM OF THE MXMMM 8, 197E PUBLW SOW CMWS1Q9 WETIM 7 Of specific concern is the area of lkmta Wets, between the S.P. tracks and the top of the bill near the Blue Pheasant The Commission has b Vista asked to address whether there will be tricycle lames or parking,lanes b1cycle along that stretch of Stevens Creek Blvd. tares on $terms Cr. Cotmt. Ford noted that several public hearlow shouU be held .as has beets," Blvd. the case with all other bicycle leafs . donzalez. noted that tyre was not much opposition to bicycle lanes on, ot6v stretches of Stevens Caret: Blvd. Comm. Dunbar felt there would be opposition to bike lanes in the Monts Vista area because of doss of garklnt� to the metehautss. Comm. Ford said that he expects opposition to bicycle lanes became of the opposition of merchants and residents to widening of Stevens Creek at this point. Comm. Dunbar indicated that businesses in the area had agreed to the widening in return for parking on the street and does not think busines a would be receptive to bicycle lanes as opposc*d to parking. Be said the timing on the widening would be about 2 years, so striping of the street for either bicycle lanes or parking would not be done until that time. Chairperson •$o : suggested that it:lie Vitiated now and details could be worked out with the coanty. She noted that perhaps the nest stretch of Stevens Creek that should be addressed is between DeAnza and Stelling. Comm. Dunbar noted that there does not appear to be any coordination of Bicycle bicycle routes to the schools, especially the elementary schools, and won- to schools dered if this should be addressed by the Commission. He specifically suggested switching the Rodrigues Ime to Pacifica sous to better serve Eaton School. He expressed concern with bike lanes where parking is also a , " . Comm. Gonzalez would like to determine -ghat the county is doing an the routes (Foothill, Dednza Boulevard, and Homestead). Comm. Dunbar. noted that the Commission should wait to see ghat the school district is doing as far as closing schools. Comm. Dunbar suggested that a public hearing be scheduled held before t proposed widening of Stevens Creek between the tracks and the hilltop in Monta Vista. Comm. Gonzalez noted that a public hearing close to the construction ddte would be practicAl. OLD BUSINESS 1. Chairperson ftgere,= noted the Code Enforcement Officer Activity report, saying that it was interesting. Ross Smith said that he compiles the report once a month. 2. Comm. Ford noted that since the JPA has been dissolved, Cupertino and Saratoga are looking at mutual service delivery systems. He commented that R conApltang may 4be-fiired to.-stvdy cooperative public safety delivery systems. 3. Chairperson named that a new law is going into effect wherein a no longer has veto power if a part of the city wants to loin another city.or leave the city. This may mean that Cupertino will be annexing new areas and that our own Sheriff's and Fire Dept may be more feasible. The Public Safety Commission may be asked for input on this. d E r A � t v u.s C-75 MUTW= OF TW WCEMM 8, 1977 Pi LIC SA MY COWSSWN Page S 4. Comm.

Timmons went into some detail regarding the�types of bombs used, how th ;. are detonated, tune-delay mechanisms used by the bombers, andr;ather technologies associated with explosives. z' 4R He then explained the laws concerning p_)ssesslon and storage of explosives. To wit, a permit must be secured From the Chief Law Forcemeat Agent ,n the area where the explosives are to be used and/or stored. - A fiackground check is made i on the p �' questing the pe t. Currently, no firm in Santa Clara ®unty sells explosives.

(responded that there was, a eop�y for the BD Commission. Responding to Mother question from Comm. Gonzales, Sgt. Timmons stated that the high instates of bomb with no, appreciable, were indeed done for public ty. In connection with thia fact, Sgt. ;Tiftoas"has met with the various media-pups mid they u v cooperating with law enforcement by not, readi publishing tho ,`, of the groups al I—'-- responsibility nor rep s 'thesir g communiques. This has brought about a notio, . decline in activity by these groups. Chairperson Rogers `ashe3d how these groups were tied into the various international terrorist groups• Sgt. Timmons responded that by in large those ps were mostly concerned with so called in�ustLaos within United States,, however, they do have some ties with various multi-national groups such as the Japanese Red Army, Puerto Ricans, Anti-Castro Cubans, etc. However, these types of groups were .luly Infighting _& e° :ism' 4 s" � as the Pro-COWNwCubans vs Anti-Castro Cubans, etc. Regarding the power station bombi.ngs, Sgt.

He also stated that, i ► Santa Clara County, the Sean Jose Police Department works closely with him, howevers he handles the balance of the county. Comm. Dunbar asked him for a possible motive.' for the recent pasg�ge ba incident in the East Bay. Sgt. Timmons stated.: that iCt could have been narcotics related or part of illegal,.' k strike activity. He felt that the young man who picked up and opened the package, subsequently having his hand blownek off, was an innocent victim. There are two suspects in the cause both of which have been observed in the area before and since the bombing. This type of activity is very wwonmen. for terrorist groups. Regarding enforcement statistics, Sgt. Timmons stated that arrests are less than 5%. However, convictions on those arrests are over 95%. Currently, the dollar lose from these bombings is down, but deaths and injuries are up. ThowOommissioners thanked Sgt. Timmons for his very informative talk and offered their support in his endeavors to curtail "ese terrorist activities. Due to an item further down on the agenda which would require Lt.

The grant lapsed in 1973 and the Board of Supervisors voted to continue the Narcotics Bureau, at which time the County assumed control. In 1977 the Bureau was granted a budget of $400,000 of which the majority was utilized for salaries and benefits. Approximately $17,000 was allocated for purchases of narcotics and payments to informants. The personnel consist of: Y Lt., 3 Sgt.'s, 10 deputies. This input is drawn from the Sheriff's Department, Santa Clara Police Department, Sunnyvale Police Department. Lt. Saldivar informed the Commissioners that in 1977 the Bureau was responsible for the seizure of $3,316,534 worth of narcotics. A total of 247 cases were investigated in 1977, compared to 151 in the previous year. He also commented on the 284 felony arrests of 1977, compared to 189 in 1976. Lt.

AGENDA BUSINESS 1. Building Security Standards Chairman Ford asked Commissioner Dunbar why the proposed Building Security Ordinance excluded Group H occupancies, encompassing hotels. Commissioner Dunbar concurred that such occupanies should be included in the ordinance, partie-iarly in viers of the possibility of a hotel being constructed in Valleo Park. Commissioner Dunbar stated that Section 3 (exterior doors) should include Subsection (c), which would allow exterior doors of parti-il glass if such glass adhered to burglary-resistant standards. Commissioner-i-Dunbar corrected the definition of an "exterior door" to read "any door providing access to the exterior of the building, including any door providing access to an attached residential garage from the living area."

The Commissioners agreed that the review process reldting-to this Section be reviewed by an'appropriate agency, including the Building 11 t, Police and Fire Departments. Chief Wayne of the Central Fire District pointed out that theFire Code pro- hibits permanent grate installations in residences and, therefore, Section 3 of the Physical Security Specifications on louvered windows mast include a release mechanism.

Thomas mentioned that there have been 12 related burglaries and that a young man was arrested and charged with two burglaries. He stated that a detective is working on the cases. Lt. Thomas also stated that two young men were arrested at 20800 Homestead Road. These young men have the same M.O. as 1.7 burglaries in that area. Chairperson Ford questioned if victims should know what has been done. Lt. Thomas responded that the detective has done this. Discussion followed as to how victims should be informed on the status of their cases. It is time consuming and expensive to contact victims indi- vidually. It was mentioned that perhaps a letter would be practicable. Commissioner Wlloy mentioned that he was a burglary victim last week and that the Sheriff's Department responded well. Lt. Thomas mentioned that a woman caller was "put out" because she could not report crimes for her neighbors. Chairperson Ford stated that it is a good idea to look into complaints we hear.

Penney added to the statistics. He stated that he was not sure of the comparison, therefore, he had no answer. Commissioner Dunbar stated that the reports are usually consistent. It was mentioned that many of the petty thefts come from Vallco and Mervyns. Discussion followed regarding drunk driving citations. Chairperson Ford explained incident reports to new members. He said that their objective is to determine trends. Commissioner mentioned that at last month's meeting Lt. Johnson was asked about selected areas in the county for patrol. He asked Lt. Thomas what areas in the county they are. Deputy Gonzales said the the selected areas are not publicized in the paper. The selected patrol areas are areas in which there is a high incidence of burglary, namely, within three blocks of a high school or junior high. Discussion followed regarding predictive analysis and statistical models. Chairperson Ford said that this is a Federal Grant Project awarded to the county. He also mentioned that Cupertino has a fluctuating burglary rate and that Cupertino has a high burglary record. Commissioner Melley: asked Lt.Thoma� if there were statistics available for the time of day crimes were committed. Lt. Thomas said that they do not have statistics for this.

Commissioner 02a and accost travelers. - Mr. Ross Smith mentioned that there is a recent court case regarding solicit- ing in an airport. Lt. Thomas said that the ordinance is vague and can be enforced. Commissioner Ica k Z said that he does not understand the exceptions--free speech and good cause issue.

Discussion followed regarding the annoyance of people posting handbills on cars. Lt. Thomas said that he ran the ordinance by County Council and they said it looks good. �x Commissioner Goig4let asked if offenders can bring suit against the city.

At 9:00 p.m. Bo Brown was introduced to the new commissioners. 2. Bike Lanes Chairperson Ford said that a public heating will be held next seek regarding bike lanes on Stevens Creek between De Anna Boulevard and Stelling. He also mentioned that some bike routes were established several years ago and that there was a trial period for an alternate route. Chairperson Ford suggested that Commissioners and Lang contact Commissioner - regarding the bike lane issue. Commissioner dadi0ft summarized the bike lane status on Stevens Creek. He stated that the postmaster was concerned about limited access to mail drops, Key Chevrolet was concerned about parking problems, and that the area in front of the Bank of America may pose a problem. Commissioner GOWsaid that the arguments of the opposition was that there is too much traffic and bike lanes would provide a false sense of security. Furthermore, too many curb cuts and buses would further complicate the bike lanes. He stated that the proponents feel that bikes use Stevens Creek anyhow and with bike lanes motorists would be cautioned that bikes are in the lane. As a compromise measure Rodrigues was chosen as an alternate route because it was lightly traveled. The alternate route has not been successful in taking bike traffic away from Stevens Creek. He also mentioned that wrong way bike traffic is a big cause of accidents and bike lanes decreases wrong way traffic by ten per cent. - Commissioner � � ► �ttY .- p �� F' way it is and do not want bike lanes. He also mentioned the problem for bike riders when roads are torn up because of construction and the problem of parking on a thoroughfare. Commissioner Gonzalez said that a bike lane with no parking at any time signs would eliminate the parked cars problem. Chairperson Ford stated that his personal opinion is that he is sympathetic to Key Chevrolet because it makes things difficult for "lookers". He said that he has no sympathy for the Post Office. Commissioner Gonzalez said that he was willing to try the alternate route but did not have high hopes for it. He said that bike lanes are an aide to bicyclists. Lt. Thomas said that he likes bike lanes and that they are a good idea. Commissioner Lang asked if there are any bike safety programs. Chairperson Ford said that there are bike safety programs in grammar schools. However, he stated that parents need to be educated. Commissioner Mollpy said that operators of bikes need to be educated. r S . - R Page 6 Commissioner asked Mr. Ross Smith to invite Glenn Grigg, City Traffic Engineer, to the next meeting. 3. Building Security Standards Commissioner Dunbar said that on page 3 of Proposed Security Ordinance, Section C has been added and that hotel rooms were added to page one and deleted from exemptions on page 3. He also mentioned that on page 4, Division 3, a date needed to be set. Commissioner Dur..bar said that rather than preparing an exacting and thorough ordinance the first time, he proposes to 4 hd& the first ordinance at a later date for the following reasons; (1.) palatable to sell, (2.) modify existing ordinance later as more infor- mation is available and (3.) try to see how much good this one does. Commissioner , said that the ordinance was prompted because the burglary rate is going up and he did not want Cupertino to be an easy pick. Commissioner MIA(* mentioned that he doesn't see a provision for a panic exit. Commissioner Dunbar said that panic exits were purposely excluded because public assembly type buildings are excluded. Commissioner 1461, 14y asked how insurance companies feel about such an ordinance. Commissioner Dunbar replied that insurance companies feel good about it and some rates may go down. Discussion followed regarding cost effectiveness. Commissioner Dunbar referred to page 5, Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives. He said he is concerned about the building where storage devices are contained. Chairperson Ford asked Lt. Thomas if someone from the Sheriff's Office would be interested in inspecting. Lt. Thomas responded that it would have to come from a grant or Cupertino would have to pay for it. Chairperson Ford mentioned that Mountain View turned over security inspections to their law enforcement agency since the building department was having difficulties with the ordinance. Discussion followed regarding possible problems with builders. Chairperson Ford said that the Building Department and City Attorney will look at the ordinance and a number of changes will be made. He said that they will probably make it more specific, however, he doesn't want it to be too specific. Commissioner 'Molloy asked Lt. Thomas if this ordinance would make Cupertino a tougher mark. Lt. Thomas responded that there will be more attempted burglaries than completed burglaries. Page 7 Commissioner Dunbar stated that having sliding glass doors on the inside is important. Chairperson Ford said that increased police services would increase the crime rate and he is looking for a measure which would reduce the opportunity for crime. Commissioner -G f suggested that page 4, Commercial Buildings, the time should be seven years and page 5, Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives, should be five years. Discussion followed regarding the length of time needed. Commissioner Dunbar suggested that page 4, Commercial Buildings, be five years and page 5, Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives,be three years. All agreed. The Commission decided to hold a public hearing on the Proposed Security Ordinance June 1, 1978. Chairperson Ford requested that a package be forwarded to Council advising them of progress and that a public hearing has been scheduled for June 1. He also requested that the Building Department, Chamber of Commerce, Tri- County Apartment Owners' Association, Planning Commission and newspapers be advised of the public hearing. Commissioner Dunbar said that he will circulate copies of the ordinance to people in the construction industry. 4. Smoke Detectors Chairperson Ford said that when apartment houses are converted to condominiums there should be a change in the type of occupancy classification. Residential occupancies would have smoke detection devices installed. Commissioner It 43-' <mentioned fireplace problems in aPpq ,. :i, , s. Commissioner Dunbar proposed that anytime building permits are issued to single family dwellings smoke detectors be installed. He also said that within a reasonable period of time apartment owners can install smoke detectors in common areas and heat detectors can be installed in parking areas. Chairperson Ford said he would like to send a memo to the Planning Commission indicating to them that because of our feeling that there is a need to apply smoke detection devices and possibly security ordinance to any apartment building which may be converted to a condominium, to view conversion to condominums as a change of occupancy. (Presently, there is a moratorium on conversions.) Commissioner Dunbar added that it might be appropriate, if they decide to lift the moratorium, to add no permits be issued until we have resolved the smoke detection issue. Mr. Ross Smith mentioned that the moratorium will be around for some time. w ,Lee x r a � ,x Page g Chairperson Ford said that he will contact the Planning.'Commission and express the basic ideas. Ford also said that he will try to g;i packet on smoke detector ordinance to new commissioners. Commissioner eta explained that the Commission learned last year that as of January 1, 1978 expressed findings were needed for any modifications to the standard state codes. These findings needed to be filed or ordinances would be invalid. Chairperson Ford stated the the expressed findings are filed and not examined. Discussion followed regarding what expressed findings mean. OLD BUSINESS - none - NEW BUSINESS 5. Railroad Crossing Widening Commissioner ea- said that he has learned that the railroad crossing at Bubb Road and Stevens Creek is being widened. He questioned how this will affect bike lane extension. Commissioner°=t1 2 asked Mr. Ross Smith to have Glenn Grigg give the Commission the status of that project at the next meeting. 6.

Public Hearing - Bicycle Lanes; Stevens Creek Boulevard, from De Anza Boulevard to Stelling Road. Chairman Ford opened the public hearing on bike lanes. City Traffic Engineer Gb Gr1 g;:6taW6$ Creek Boulevard, from east to west, will be overlayed in the near future and a decision on bike lanes is imperative at this time. Grigg reviewed the staff report submitted to the Commissioners. The report indicated that whenever bike lanes are installed, the percentage of wrong-way riders declines . If bike lanes are established, the eastbound traffic will provide for two (2) through-lanes and a right-turn lane. Grigg stated that the following businesses do have some park- ing on Stevens Creek Boulevard but all can accommodate off- street parking, except the Post Office: 1. Bank of America 4 . Key Chevrolet 2 . Home Savings Bank 5. A & W Root Beer 3. Good Earth Restaurant 6. Real Estate Office 7. Post Office t. i .. Sandy Argabrite, representing. De Anza College, presented a petition signed by eighty-three (83) students favoring bicycle lanes. Commissioner Dunbar asked why the De gni a students do not use Stell- ing Road or the alternate route instead of Stelling. Asgabriters answer was that bicycle riders will invariably travel the shortest distance between two points; namely, Stevens Creek Boulevard. Paul Weiss, owner of Key Chevrolet, spoke in opposition to the bike lanes because i) of the excessive curb cuts, 2) the heavy volume of traffic and speeding automobiles, 3) bus pollution, and 4) the �Vss of off-street parking in front of his place of business. Weiss stated that his busiest bours are after 5:00 p.m. weekdays and weekends, and a compromise would be to allow off-street park- ing during those hours. Commissioner Gonzalez stated that although the alternate bike route has not been effective, the establishment of bike lanes is a positive safety factor. However, the area being considered is a busy thoroughfare, consisting of approximately thirty-one (31) curb cuts . Commissioner Molloy commented that as a bike enthusiast he is in favor of bicycle lanes which serve as added security. Commissioner Dunbar stated he was philosophically in favor of bike lanes and suggested that a compromise be formulated which would establish bike lanes, but reserving parking time for Key Chevrolet. His suggestion was that bike lanes would not apply at Key Chevrolet from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. ,. plus Saturday and Sunday . Dunbar stated that the Post Office would hav- to reconsider its traffic flow. Commissioner Lang expressed her concern over the right-hand turns being experienced by cyclists, and also the need for weekend bike lanes . Commissioner Ford stated that he also favors bicycle lanes but he also understood the unique position of Key Chevrolet and ire lack of off-street parking facilities . He stated that bicycle lanes would also cause the Post Office to reconsider the designing of their parking area. Commissioner Molloy asked Mr. Weiss how many parking spaces he would need. Mr. Weiss answered that it would depend on the time and day of the week; namely, anywhere from two (2) to twenty (20) spaces . Mr. Weiss also stated that he cannot use his present used-car lot for parking purposes as the used-car business is an integral part of his operation. -2- • Commissioner Gonzalez made a motion that bicycle lanes be estab- lished on both sides of Stevens Creek Boulevard except that park- *9 ing will be allowed in front of Key Chevrolet from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and all day Saturdays and Sundays. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Dunbar. Motion carried, 5-0. Commissioner Ford requested that Glenn Grigg,prepare. an ordi-nance ,to this effect and submit same to the City Council for acceptanee.

Chairman Gonzalez asked about emergency medical care under the Paramedic Program. Chief Payne reported that the Paramedic Unit will go to all emergency medical calls that the 'fire truck responds to. Commissioner Arbuckle will talk with Ross Smith, Code Enforce- ment Officer, about obtaining Paramedic statistics for the Cupertino area. 18. Barbara Rogers asked if the Central Fire District was ready for the new City population. Chief Payne said "Yes!" 19. Frank Mulkern of the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce extended an invitation to the Public Safety Commission to a Chamber of Commerce luncheon on June 26, 1979 (12:00 - 1:30 p.m.) .

Brewer, Chairman of Chamber of Commerce (7-member) task force, reported that the task force is accumulating informa- tion on similar ordinances in other cities. There was no recommendation or report at' this time. —3— Y 3 ty. { e�F ci n =,.:, t PM r a, • Mrs. Brewer, speaking as a small-business person, suggested an annual permit with fee for businesses with alarms. sbo expressed the concern that a fee on the second false alum Is punitive and anti-business. Commissioner Molloy emphasized that the Public Safety'Commission's intent in the Ordinance Is neither punitive nor anti-business. On the contrary, the Ordinance is meant to help business. Commissioner Molloy also stated that the Commission had considered an annual fee but felt that it would be Interpreted as anti—business. Prank Mulkern of the Chamber of Commerce observed that similar ordinances in surrounding areas had not been effect- ive in decreasing the number of false alarms. Commissioner Molloy said that the Commission is trying hard to make the Ordinance effective in Cupertino, and requested specific sug- gestions from the Chamber to achieve this goal. Chairman Gonzalez restated the process by which a fine may be imposed for a false alarm: (a) Review by Sheriff Deputy responding to alarm. (b) Review by Code Enforcement Officer. (c) Appeals process . Chairman Gonzalez and Commissioner Molloy offered to meet with the Chamber of Commerce task force regarding the Ordinance so that a final package could be reviewed and finalized at the Public Safety Commission meeting of July 12, 1979, for presenta- tion to the City Council. Chairman Gonzalez expressed the concern that the fee to be charged for a false alarm be determined more precisely. Chairman Gonzalez also asked the Chamber of Commerce task force to consider the question of how the appeals process could work best for the business community. 5 Mrs . Brewer suggested that a fine and/or "false-alarm training" be considered for businesses with multiple false alarms . 26. Assent of Sub-Committee Projects Commissioner Molloy submitted a draft of a letter, inviting the public to participate in Public Safety Commission sub-committees. it was approved by the Commission.

' r AGENDA 14. False Burglary Alarm Ordinance Chairman Gonzalez stated that the City Council has requested that the Public Safety Commission define the term "owner" as used in the ordinance; i.e. should it or should it not include the installer and/or service company, as well as the operator or proprietor. The Cupertino Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Gonzalez stated, is asking that liability be imposed upon the installer and/or service company, as well as the operator. The Chamber of Commerce has also requested that "Acts of God" be excluded as well, Chairman Gonzalez stated. Commissioner Mitchell felt that including the installer and/ or service company under the "owner" concept would present an ambiguity of responsibility . Commissioner Ryan stated that such an encompassing inclusion could possibly result in increased prices by the alarm com- panies to the consumers, to offset service fees- John Fruit, of Pacific Valley Bank, stated that any increased costs to installers would be passed back to the banks . He also expressed concern as to how false burglary alarms are determined, areas of responsibility, and "Acts of God" , etc. Chairman Gonzalez replied that the question of false alarms would be subject to the reporting police officers and the Code Enforcement Offices. Violators will always have the right to appeal and present evidence of a properly serviced system. The Public Safety Commission agreed to a thirty (30) day exemption of the proposed ordinance for all ..iew installations. Craig Hodges , representing the Cupertino School District, stated that all schools in the District are being equipped with burglary alarm systems , and he requested that the District be exempt from the proposed ordinance. The reason, he stated, was because of the size of the installation and the sophisti- cation of the system being installed. Chief Payne questioned- the legality of levying a fine or service charge against a school district . John Fruit of the Pacific Valley Bank stated that the ordi- nance, as written, could possibly discourage businesses from installing alarm systems . -3� y r 14. (continued) The following action was taken by the Public Safety Commission to be presented to the City Council for consideration: Modification Ord.Section Action 1 .

Discussion of proposed Model Hazardous Materials Ordinance vm- scheduled for public hearing on April 14, 1983. Chairman Keating introduced the Hazardous Materials Ordinance accepted by the I.G.C. on February lb, 1983. The controversial issues had been extracted from the ordinance by the I.G.C. according to Chief Sporleder of the Central Fire District. The Key issues remaining, stated Commissioner Szabo, are: 1. Can the ordinance be enforced? 2. What is the City liability facte:r? 3. What are the "nuts & bolts" tied tc enforcement? 4. Trade secrets. 5. Double containment standards: Administrative Assistant Barbara Brown stated that a Fire Chief task force is working with the petroleum industry in order to arrive at acceptable guidelines to the satisfaction of the industry and the City Manager. The recommendation developed is a liner surrounding the tank, filled with dirt. -1- f ,s �r 5 a Minutes. of the. Sttudp-Sessf dry` a" C. Nick Szabo inquired about the 6,000 underground fuel tanks in Santa Clara County that could cause possible contamination. Chief Sporleder replied that the petroleum industry has made every effort to change underground tanks every ten (10) to fifteen (15) years. Chairman Keating stated that the petroleum is challenging the Hazardous Materials Ordinance because of the increase in costs to be brought about by the double container standard. Chairman Keating introduced the liability issue to the Commission. Chapter VI.03, Keating stated, requires that the permittee hold the City harmless and defend the City against any claims arising from permittee's operations under the permit. Nick Szabo asked if the Central Fire District is to be the enforcement agency. Chief Sporleder replied that his department has submitted several options to the City Manager's office, funding to be absorbed by the permittees. Barbara Brown staffed that the enforcement issue will not be decided until the liability issue is resolved. A further opinion is to be made by the City Attorneys office. Nick Szabo directed an inquiry toward the issue of Trade Secrets, Chairman Keating and Chief Sporleder felt that it would not be an issue, particularly on the Public Safety Commission level. Commissioner Sadoff inqured about penalties for ordinance violations. Chairman Keating responded that Part XII of the Ordinance provided both civil and criminal penalties.

Drew Kelly of P.G.M. gave a short presentation on P.G.M. and earthquake preparedness. 5. PUBLIC HEARING —Hazardous Chemical Ordinance Tom Robinson of Robinson Oil Company was the sole spokesman for the petroleum industry. Mr. Robinson stated that the petroleum industry recognizes the concern the cities have for the health and safety of the public. ..4rotection is the goal that all need to support. However, cities must pass' ordinances and regulations that are reasonably necessary to protect life, health and property. There is little doubt, Mr. Robinson stated, that hazardous materials can present a danger to the public health and safety if improperly stored or handled. However, the industry seriously challenges the need for a secondary containment system. There are technological difficulties with implementing this ordinance which also makes the secondary containment standard economically impractical. The additional cost will also add to the cost of doing business and result in higher prices. Mr. Robinson recommended a ten (10) year underground fiberglass tank and piping program in which all underground steel tanks and lines are to be replaced with non-corrosive fiberglass tanks and lines with proper backfill methods. The tank hole is lined with a filter fabric to prevent soil and backfill migration. Petroleum dealers would require its dealers and operators to perform a daily tank inventory check and the industry would perform an annual test of the leak detectors and pressurized products lines. Mr. Robinson concluded that the need for legislation is important but the cities should refrain from any hasty decisions, and take the time necessary to investigate and to fully understand the economic impact the adoption of the ordinance would have on the communities; including consumers and small businessmen. Barbara Brown stated that a task group, including city and oil industry technical experts, has been formed and will make a final recommendation as to whether the existing double containment standards in the ordinance should remain or whether oil industry standards could be substituted for the double containment standards. i -2- ra • Chairman Keating stated that the Commission delay any recommendation to the Council until the task force's final recommendation. In addition, Chairman Keating stated, the task force will have established guidelines in accordance with Chapter XIII.02 of the model ordinance. The next regular meeting of May. 12, 1903 will agend ze the final recommendation of the task force teccsmiandat'lons. OLD BUSINESS 6.

There was none, due to the scheduling of the earthquake presentation by E.P.I. AGENDA 6. Commissioner Szabo introduced David Hedman, �of E.P.I. Mr. Redman's presentation was directed to earthquakes in residential and commercial construction only. Mr. Redman stated that prior to 1955, state building codes had not confronted the problems in residential and commercial construction resulting from earthquakes. There was very little concern with lateral load and frames were not anchored properly from sills to foundation. Subsequently, codes mandated that frames be anchored to foundations and support posts be secured from lateral movement. Tilt-.?Yp structures for commercial buildings had weak connections at the top, causing collapse during an earthquake. Also, gas leaks ® during an earthquake can cause fires as during the City of Los Angeles. This problem can be remedied by automatic shut-off valves. Residential water heaters should be strapped down and have flexible gas hoses. Commissioner Szabo inquired as to placing of wrenches at the gas meter. Mr. Hedman replied that wrenches can be at the meter, but only in situations where there is no public access. Painting the valve is also advisable, he stated. The Coalinga earthquake was a good example, he stated, of the destruction of commercial buildings constructed prior to 1955. SI- sigh tension lines, both overhead and under the surface, can also be damaged during an earthquake. Mr. Hedman stated that cities should adequately prepare for oncoming earthquakes and schools, in particular, should have a workable disaster plan in addition to the customary fire drill. A copy of a 1982 Earthquake Disaster Scenario was left with the Commission for future reference. -2- r f .rc • 7. Hazardous Materials Ordinance -- Chief Doug Sporleder stated tiiat the double containment standard in the proposed Hazardous Materials Ordinance was accepted by the Task Force and also by the Inter-government Council in spite of objections from the petroleum industry.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None ORAL COf6IUNICATIONS - None AGENDA BUSINESS Chairperson Rogers formally opened the Public Hearing on Bike Lanes on McClellan Road :youth to Rainbow Drive at 8soo pm. The first report presented was from the City Traffic Engineer, Glenn Grigg. fir. Grigg commented that this issue was marked by a lack of interest in the past on the part of citizens and the County. Recently, however, there has been a renewed interest on the part of citizens relative to these bike lanes. fir. Grigg stated that the City is involved in a program called "Safe Way To School" and a consultant for that program has suggested bike lanes on Bubb Road. He commented that the City of San Jose is interviewing people on Bubb Road regarding the prohibition of parking. The Saga Jose City Staff is in favor of bike lanes. However, money is their only hesitation. He then reported on two accidents in 1977 involving auto/bicycles. In one ease, the auto violated the bicycle right-of-way; the second olved a bicycle violation against an auto. ALT.& Mr. Grigg then addressed himself to the physical problems of Bubb TY&JCAL Road, namely that it is 38' wide which limits somewhat what can be EAWN. done in the way of bike lanes. In short, the street is simply too narrow. Mr. Grigg then explained the proposed traffic lane widths and bike lane widths as proposed in the Alternate and Typical figures posted in the ChambeV�',,� for consideration this evening. The "Alternate" figures proposed a ,' bike lane on one side of the street, two 10' traffic lanes, and one 8' parking lane on the other side of the street. The "Typical" figures, suggested by the County proposed a 7' bike lane on each side of the street, and two 12' traffic lanes. This proposal would limit parking to nights only. He again stated that because of the 38' width, some prohibition of parking is necessary. He further stated that he had attended a meeting in Sacramento where the Bicycling Committee, working with the State will set a $' bike lane minimum and a 8' parking limit, Comm. Dunbar asked Mr. Grigg if he was aware of more than 1 or 2 reported accidents on ,h,. es. Further, was there room on" ubb Road for cur6e1deypar��ng, Mr. Grigg responded that he was not specifically aware of the accidents Comm. Dunbar may be eluding to. To which Comm. Dunbar stated that the accident he was addressing occurred October 21st on Blaney. IY1r. Grigg then stated that the Vehicle Code is precise regarding rules for bikes and motor vehicles. 25% of bike/auto accidents involve wrong-way riding of bicycles. Chairperson Rogers then asked Mr. Grigg if San Jose wants a minimum of 11' for traffic lanes, and what is the minumum for bike lanes? F curbed or not curbed. Mr. Grigg agate addrei" himael� a . � posted map and pointed out that only one side of Bubb Rom is curbed. He also stated that the County would make any improvementa necessary when the bike lane issue was settled. Comm. Dunbar and Mr. Grigg then briefly discussed the handling of CITATIONS' tions involving juveniles. fir. Grigg stated that presently uveniles are required to attend a safe-biking school after receiv- '. ing a citation. If they do not appear at the school, the citation is turned over to the Juvenile Probation Department. Chairperson Rogers then opened the public hearing to the citizens PUBLIC present this evening. FEARING Mr. Dean Skeels, representative of the Cupertino School District, and teacher at John F. Kennedy School stated that he was a resident of Columbus Avenue. He stated that he had seen problems on Bubb Road. He saw a problem with the students of Monte Vista High biking to school. He sees a need for safer bike lanes. He hoped the Committee would seriously consider these bike lanes. Chair- person Rogers asked Mr. Skeels if Kennedy school would be in favor of no street parking. Mr. Skeels stated "Yes", and the school had asked the not to park on Bubb Road. Chairperson Rogers then asked Mr. Skeels when the athletic activities were aver at the school. Mr. Skeels responded 4:30 to 5:00 pm. Responding to a question from Comm. Dunbar, Mr. Skeels stated that he felt the problems with Bubb Road were that it was not wide enough for bicycles, parked cars and normal traffic. Comm. Dunbar then ex- pressed concern as to whether the bikers would stay in the bike lanes. Mr. Skeels stated that this is a problem on McClellan Rd. and would be a problem on Bubb Rd. , and would need police enforce- ment. Comm. Dunbar asked Mr. Skeels if he was aware of a bike safety program at Kennedy school. Mr. Skeels stated that he was involved in the program personally. r, Wit. � i Mr. Toni Johnson of 22304 �rtt stated that he . d Rd. every morning on his way to work at Signeties in Sunnyvale. He is experiencing a problem with bikers riding the wrong way on the street. He stated that bike lanes do not improve the problem and, in fact there is an increase in the problem of wrong- way riders on bike lane roads. He further stated that the Calif. Vehicle Code clearly states how turns are to be made on roads with bike lanes. Many autos do not blend into bike :Aanes to make their turns and bikers are also injured when auto doors are opened suddenly into bike lanes. He then read certain roints from the November issue of Bicycling Magazine in an article written by John Finley Scott relative to accidents at intersections and turning (autos turning through bike lanes) . He then stated that the problems could be solved by, (1) no car parking on Bubb Rd. (2) the "Cupertino Scene" publish portions of the Calif. Vehicle Code relative to turning across bike lanes and, (3) enforcement of the wrong-way biking rules by issuance of citations. In general, he was against bike lanes, feeling they wouldn't solve the problems he sited above. In response to a question from Comn. Eberhardt, Mr. Johnston stated that drivers give a younger ® child, who is weaving .dn his/her bicycle more consideration than an adult rider by slowing down and passing with greater care. He suggested that bike lanes have arrows painted withi ,w showing clearly the aright way to ride. s PSC-7 1"g ' Page 4Qf gong-�aay ridrg accidents, r v: t� @owmission and those pPesent.

County z�dords shave it Stevens Creek Boulevard, 27%, and Ro driguez, g_y He did state that figures from the State of California contain errors in the percen}ages due to the way wrong-way accidents are reported by the officers at the scene. fah*. Grigg then outlined to Comm. Dunbar and the Commission where the elementary schools were located in the City of Cupertino. Jeritta Lang, a resident of 49016WPlace stated that she was in. favor of bike lanes. She stated two accidents on Bubb Rd. in the same week, one of which she was a. witness to. Regarding the restriction of parking on Bubb F.d. , she stated that she has seen as many as five cars parked in front of a home with no cars in the driveway. She is asking the Safety Committee of each school to have a safety seminar to educate parents and children on safe biking. Shirley Baer of the Cupertino Council PTA informed the Commission that her group did not get a response from their letter to the CityCouncil giving their support �` g g pport of biome lanes and their ` "Wk st in education and their help in that direction. Mr. Don Leonard of 11011 Bubb Rd. stated that the taking away of parking in front of his home would be a great Hardship to him. He stated that he has older parents and guests visiting him and is concerned with where they would park. Specifically, how far away would his older parents have to walk back to his home. He felt strongly against restricted parking on a 24-hour, 7-day basis and wanted the restriction lifted on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. He stated that for years the residents have been fighting the high-speed traffic. A petition had been presented to the City Co-.mcil for a stop sign at Columbus. Comm. Dunbar asked Mr. Leonard if he would agree to bike lanes if the parking were restricted between 7 am and 6 pm, 5 days a week. Mr. Leonard replied "no', what if people come in the evening (between 5 pm and 6 pm) -- just during school hours. I Linda Walker, representative of there � �Y- �r� % a y, ,,.. resident of Peachblossom stated that there are� 19' children in soccer and 80% practice at the schools involved in this area. She thinks that there should be bike lanes. Comm. Dunbar asked Mrs. Walker how long the soccer season was. She replied that it begins in September and ends in mid-December, with play-offs I through January. 1 Janette Miller, a teacher in the Cupertino School District, urged the Commission to ser*6ly consider bike lanes for safety. She informed the Commission that she and other teachers are participat- ing in a National Safety Council bike safety program. Comm. Eberhardt am r ., teat education went on in the elementary and junior high schools. Mrs. Miller responded that their bike safety program received materials from the Natinal Safety Council and that Cupertino Union Val District was a pilot school. Comm. Dunbar asked Mrs. Miller if all schools had designated parking for bikes. Mrs. Miller replied, "yes" -- bike racks. 3 Comte. schools 4WL-iokftigate Whether the xl r a where it might lead to an unsafe practaee Mrs. Miller stated that she could not anssmer. far t1�e entire district but would look into this and write or call the Commis- sion. Kay I�hpniTlerA President of the fi F..PTA stated that they. P`.CA will run a workshop for children on ike safety and support the bike lanes. Emily Bresnikott stated that she was against bike lanes for the following reasons. (1) the City has taken a corner of tier prCperty for a bus stop which lost her a parking area (Z the small street is k is a lot of traffic on Bubb Rd. She stated that even though ~ her children have bikes, they ,walk to school. Further, even if you have education in the schools, some children are still going to violate the bike .lane rules. She felt that bike lanes will not accomplish much in the way of safety. Pauahi Sheehy, also with American Met O occer, and a parent, stateA that children have to ride bikes to school. Most of these children are from the junior and high schools. Although some are bussed to school, there is no bussing available for after school and weekend athletic activities. Barbara Trubell, Bike Safety Chairperson at Lincoln PTA stated that her group supported bike lanes. She then described to the Commission some of the problems on Orange Avenue between cars, pedestrians and bikes. The group went out and contacted ,,, all the residents o*SA_, ,r- °Orange Ave. regarding re stricting parking. No _one resident objected as lon; as i was Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. She asked the Commission to consider that Bubb Rd. would need parking re- strictions on Saturdays because of soccer activities, etc, And, as the mother of a 4th grader who rides to visit friends, she would feel much better if there were bike lanes on. Bubb Rd. She also agreed that lines (painted bike lanes) give younger children a defined path--arrows would help too. Mr. Leonard addressed the Commission from the floor, asking who would police bike lanes? Comm. Dunbar deferred the question to Lt. Thomas. Lt. Thomas stated that the bike lanes would have to be given a. saturation period to ascertain major problems with those bike lanes. Of course, the Police Dept. would be "policing" the bi'.ce lanes. Mr. Johnson again spoke, addressing those citizens present at the public hearing. He asked how many of them, and in particular the teachers present cycled themselves? He felt safety should be taught by parents and/or teachers who were cyclists and more familiar with the rules and problems, then the accident rate would drop. Comm. Dunbar asked if there was anyone at the public hearing from the School District office. Mr. Sheels, who spoke earlier stated that he was. . PS;.-74 Vir. Ioyadue ur o the C . 0 � page 6 rCommission that he had driven Bubb Rd. He then sent r a memo to all homes on Bubb Rd. which were within the San Jose 6ity limits. This involved approximatel.Y 39 homes. r1he memo + stated a proposed parking restriction from 6zoo am to 5:00 pm. Yr. Turhan received 12 replies to the memo, 6 disapproved. Of the E disapproving, 3 stated that a restriction .From 7too am to 5:00 pm on weekdays would be acceptable. He then stated that the San Jose City Council will need to vote on this issue. Comm. Dunbar expressed his comfort with the San Jose position. Chairperson Rogers asked Mr. Turhar. if this was the San Jose Staff's position. fir. Turhan responded "yes". Then Chairperson Rogers asked if this restriction of parking would be on one or both sides of the street. Mr. Turhan replied both sides. He then asked that people contact him with any suggestions as to the restriction hours. He inviteda.11 persons interested to go to the San Jose City Council meeting and express their ,likes and dislikes relative to the hours and days of restricted parking. Chairperson Rogers asked Mr. Turhan when the San Jose City Council would be voting on this issue. Mr. Turhan stated that he would need to get together with Mr. Grigg before he presented the issue to the City Council. Ross Smith asked Mr. -Turhan how San Jose felt about "Alternate 1" lan6g';,Xa � `I(-.r. Turhan responded that Alternate 1 is out. 10' 1,1,.nes are not safe. There then followed a general discussion between the Commission and those present regarding speed limits on Bubb..Rd. Several citizens stated that the .> -t ft- yls are intense for a few weeks and then sporatic. dne woman reported, only seeing a !police car twice this year. Mr. Grigg explained the "19 MPH" jspeed sign on Quito Rd. was only an advisory notice and not !a posted speed limit. The 19 mile figure was posted to attract attention, The speed limit on Bubb Rd. is 30 MPH or 25 ItiPH during school. hours. And. It is important to have good bike behavior as well as speed limits and crosswalks. Regarding a question on the standard road width in Cupertino, Mr, Grigg responded that 40' was the minimum standard and obviously 'Bubb Rd. being 38' wide was too narrow. �Mr. Smith and Mr. Grigg then discussed traffic and speed on both Bubb Rd. and Blaney. Mr. Grigg stated that speed surveys were taken during mid-day when there is less traffic and autos can travel as fast as they desire. As the public hearing had been in session for more than an hour, 1IIICCCCChairperson Rogers asked for a motion to :e3.ose: . Comm. Dunbar made the motion, Comm. Eberhardt seconded and the motion carried unanimously. he Commission recessed at 9:03 pm and resumed at 9:11 pm.. , hairperson Rogers asked for a motion to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding bike lanes on Bubb Rd.
