COUNTY TRAFFIC ORDINANCE PROHIBITING "FOR SALE" SIGNS IN AUTOMOBILES Councilman Taylor wondered what assurance would the City have if car dealers took advantage of this amendment, and com- mented that the reason this provision was looked into was because some residents in the City had been fined because of a "For Sale" sign in their vehicle. His intent was that a resident who had a vehicle for sale occassional not be penalized, but he did not want car dealers to be able to.take advantage of the situation. Councilman Tury stated that he felt that a warning would be adequate if a resident had a "For Sale" sign in his vehicle once in awhile; however, he did not feel that a total repeal of that portion of the Ordinance was what had been requested, only a modification. Councilman Bruesch agreed with Councilmen Taylor and Tury. He had been upset with cars being parked on lots with prices listed on them. He felt that total repeal would expose the City to even more of that type of action: Perhaps, the-.size of the sign could tie limited and-_only a phone number could be included on it.. Councilman Taylor stated that location would be an important part of the limitations, and as Councilman Bruesch commented on cars parked on vacant lots and that he was opposed to that also. He was concerned about the resident who on rare occassion sells his own car and did not feel that a ticket was warranted, and he would like a modification instead of a total restriction. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that the section of the Code which is being considered is the section which talks about only the vehicles parked in the public highway, not on private property, such as lots,do not apply to the section. The City Manager stated that staff was perfectly comfortable in using discretion with the law that is on the books now, and utiliz- ing the law to take care of those who abuse it. However, he added that if the Council still wants the Ordinance adopted and/or amended the Ordinance can be reworded. Councilman Taylor requested that the Ordinance be sent back for modification because he does not want the staff to have to pick and chose who should be fined and who should not. He stated that in the past few weeks he has received letters from upset residents re- garding the treatment that has been received from some of the traf- fic controllers. He again requested that the Ordinance be modified to possibly allow for one vehicle to be sold in a certain period of time. Adj.C/M 9-16-86 Page #2 r 11 Dan Tirre, Chairman of the Traffic Commission, stated that he felt that if this item were given to the Traffic Commission for further investigation, possibly the Commission could come up with a suitable recommendation on this issue. Councilman Taylor stated that he did not have a problem with that idea. Councilman Bruesch suggested that they look into the size of the sign, one sign. per. vehicle issue, and the allowable location to park the vehicle. Mayor Imperial directed that this item be referred to the Traffic Commission for their input and recommendation. IV.

CC-L REMOVAL OF TIME LIMITED PARKING ALONG VALLEY BLVD. Councilman Taylor felt that this was opening a can of worms if the two businesses are allowed to take away the two hour park- ing restriction in a commercial district such as Valley Blvd. Adj.C/M 9-16-86 Page #3 Councilman Tury stated that he had always felt that the 2 hour parking restriction was put in for the convenience of their customers and not have the space plugged up. He did not see any reason for them not to be able to use those spaces if they did not feel that it was necessary for their businesses. Councilman Bruesch stated that he was in agreement with Councilman Taylor for two reasons, one is that it makes enforce- ment more difficult, and secondly, that parking on Valley still is a problem and always will be a problem. He did not feel that the removal of the 2 hour parking restriction would solve the problem. Councilman Taylor commented that about 3 months ago, Carry Firestone, came in and requested that the 2 hour parking restric- tion be removed from in front of the Rightmier's home on Valley because a friend had received a fine for parking in front of their home. He requested that this restriction be removed also. Councilman Tury stated that,he felt that there should not be two hour parking restriction in front of a residential home anyway, and thought it was a good idea. Councilman Taylor stated that by doing this it will be a.hit and miss proposition with the people requesting removal receiving it all along Valley Blvd., and then the commercial parking will be lost on Valley Blvd. He remarked that the next question will be where do we start condemning property to put in parking lots. Councilman Tury suggested that this item be sent back to the Traffic Commission for further study, and he requested that all of the properties on Valley Blvd., surveyed and find out what their opinion of the two hour parking restriction is. Councilman Taylor suggested that the Chamber of Commerce also be contacted to find out what their reaction would be. Councilman Tury also suggested that Garvey be surveyed too. Councilman Bruesch requested that the parking needs of those two streets be looked into along with input from the Chamber of Commerce-and the businesses and the Traffic Commission. Mayor Imperial agreed with Councilman Bruesch and requested that off-street parking be looked into also, and he directed the City Manager to follow the direction of the Council and the Mayor and come up with the facts and the figures.

C/M 9-16-86 Page #4 VII. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. Councilman Bruesch commented that he had received a Resolution Against the Fair Pay Initiative which is,on the ballot, and requested that this be placed on the Council's next Agenda with the hope that the Resolution will be approved. Councilman Bruesch inquired if the meeting with the residents from Falling Leaf will be held in the near future. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that that meeting will be held before the next Council Meeting. He added that it may not be available by Thursday, but the information can be available by next Tuesday night's meeting. Councilman.Tury stated that he felt that it should be noted that Falcon has started stringing some wires. Councilman Taylor inquired if anything was accomplished today. Councilman Tury stated that he did not know, probably nothing. Hugh Foutz, City Treasurer, stated that the Sister City Dele- gation will be arriving in Rosemead on September 25th and will be welcoming them at City Hall about 4:00 p. m. and will be staying 5 days and there is a nice program planned for them while they are here in Rosemead. Mayor Imperial requested that the City Manager set up a Meeting with the Rosemead City Council and the Monterey Park City Council to address the problem of the proposed high school being built in Rosemead. Councilman Bruesch requested that the Meeting be adjourned in memory of the people who lost their lives in the tragic plane crash in Cerritos. There being no other action to be taken, the Council Meeting was adjourned in memory of the. people who lost their lives in the airline accident in the City of Cerritos on August 31, 1986.
