Mayor Berndt opened the public meeting. Peggy Stapleton, 23 Kenny Drive, spoke against the rezone because any use permitted in the B -1 District could potentially be established if the property is rezoned. She I/ also requested traffic patterns in the neighborhood be carefully considered.

(Council Member Sims absent after 3:05 p.m.) 12. REPORT FROM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ON PETITION FOR SPEED CONTROL MEASURES ON WEST CHESTNUT I/ David Hussell, Streets & Traffic Operations Manager, provided a brief history of the West Chestnut neighborhood's traffic management petition submitted to the City Council in October, 1995. At that time staff was directed to research the issue and has collected data and observed the situation involving motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists on Chestnut Avenue. 6 r DECEMBER 19, 1995 4 ® 7 Staff reviewed two alternatives, including the Denver Stop Pattern and marked Bicycle /Pedestrian corridors installed on both sides of the roadway separate from the vehicle lanes. Since the residents of Chestnut Avenue had specifically requested the Denver Stop Pattern, it was reviewed first. I/ Mr. Hussell indicated the results showed this to be an ineffective speed control measure for this area because of offset intersection placement between 16th Avenue and 40th Avenue. Staff recommends the second alternative, the marked Bicycle /Pedestrian corridors which would be installed on both sides of the roadway separate from the vehicle lanes. The benefits of this application would be the visible delineation of a corridor for pedestrians with warning signs - installed to indicate to motorists that there are bicyclists and pedestrians on the roadway. Although the path on each side would eliminate on- street parking and would narrow the available roadway width for motor vehicles, this application would help reduce the speeds that vehicles travel. The marked path would offer increased visibility of the lane edge during hours of darkness enhancing the pedestrian separation. Mr. Hussell explained the staff recommendation to send an informational letter and .informal ballot outlining the issues to residents asking for their response. Staff also suggested that the neighborhood speed watch program be utilized. This has been used in other neighborhoods and reduces the number of vehicles exceeding the speed limit. There was a considerable amount of discussion among Council members concerning how the visual perception of the corridor method works, the possibility of eliminating the on street parking, and the suggestion to, send survey letters to the affected residents on Chestnut Avenue. The issue would have to be considered further after the survey results came in. Dr. Macintosh, 24th and East Chestnut, suggested they maintain some on- street parking due to only one alley located in the area. He expressed concern about the elimination of the on- street parking because service vehicles need to park there. He also thought there should be parking on both sides of the road. Mayor Berndt commented that the parking would only be eliminated during daylight hours.. It. was... MOVED BY BUCHANAN, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO DIRECT STAFF TO CLARIFY TO FOLLOW THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND SEND I/ OUT THE LETTER AND INCLUDE AN ITEM FOR DAY LIGHT HOURS, AFTER REVIEW OF THE QUESTION BY THE CITIZEN COMMITTEE. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote; Sims absent. Staff was directed to send survey letters to the affected residents on Chestnut, after obtaining information from the neighborhood committee about the wording in the survey. 7 . .. 40:0 DECEMBER 19, 1995 13. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION REVISING SCHEDULE AND FARES FOR DIAL -A -RIDE SERVICE (NEW FARE OF $1.00 EACH WAY TRIP AND ELIMINATING SERVICE ON SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS) Council Member Barnett corrected the staff report to reflect that the vote during the Budget Wrap -up Session regarding the elimination of Sunday and holiday Dial -A -Ride Service was not unanimous, but had two negative votes. Mayor Berndt' requested the resolution be divided to allow the two issues to be considered independently. Sally Main, 1314 Jerome Avenue, explained she will not be able to afford the fare if it is raised to a $1.00 each way. She stated that People For People are forcing clients to use Dial -A -Ride rather than medical coupons. Mayor Berndt stated that staff would meet with her to get further information. A substitute resolution relating to the fare increase, was read by title, and it was MOVED BY KLINGELE, SECONDED BY BERGER, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion carried by 5 -1 voice vote; Barnett voting nay; Sims absent. Council Member Beauchamp described the excessive cost of the Transit Program but expressed hope that this issue can be revisited some time in the future to consider restoring the 35 cent Dial -A -Ride fare, particularly if the PTBA effort is successful and more revenue is available. RESOLUTION NO. R - 95 - 175, A RESOLUTION revising the schedule and fares for Dial -A -Ride public transportation services provided by the City of Yakima. A substitute resolution relating to the elimination of Sunday and holiday Dial -A -Ride services was read by title and it was MOVED BY BERGER, SECONDED BY BUCHANAN, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION. The motion failed by a 3 -3 tie vote; Barnett, Beauchamp, and Klinglele voting nay; Sims absent. Council Member Beauchamp requested the issue be revisited after the first of the year with the Council Transit Committee for reconsideration due to the current budget difficulties of the Transit System. 14. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF CONTRACT WITH GLEN WARREN FOR PUBLIC DEFENDER SERVICES John Jay, Attorney, who submitted a bid to perform the public I/ defender contract for the sum of $70,000, explained the contract submitted by Glen Warren, which is being recommended for award, is for a sum of $89,000. He urged reconsideration of the subcommittee recommendations. He doesn't think he was treated fairly. There was a considerable amount of discussion about the technical misunderstanding regarding the bid proposal as it relates to the number of FTE's. 8 DECEMBER 19, 1995 0 Glen Warren clarified his proposal for two full time employees plus an interpreter. He also described the current case load. John Jay responded that the proposal does not call for an interpreter.
