Landa, Public Works Department DISCUSSION: Ms. Roxanna Montufar, of 134 E 3`d Street, has requested the installation of a handicap parking space in front of her residence. According to. Mrs. Montufar, she is requesting the handicap parking because she has kidney dialysis pick up each week and has a difficult time walking to the vehicle.

Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates for "disabled persons" or "disabled veterans". This condition is met. 2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the applicant's (or guardian's) place of residence. This condition is met. 3. The residence must not have useable off-street parking available or an off- street space available that may be converted into disabled parking. Staff has investigated the site and found six (6) off-street parking spaces. This condition is not met. The Policy requires that all three (3) conditions be met. In this case, two (2) conditions are met. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends not installing a handicap parking space since it does not meet the City Council Policy. EXHIBITS: 1. Letter 2.

Patient Services San Diego South 995 Gateway Center Way Suite 101 San Diego, CA 92102 619.262.1960 MEDICAL SUMMARY September 3, 2003 Ms. Roxana Montufar is a patient of mine at Gambro Healthcare where she currently receives Hemodialysis three times per week to sustain her life. I began managing her kidney failure in 1997. Ms. Montufar has been diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease, Hypertension and has a history of peritonitis, an infection inside the abdominal cavity associated with Peritoneal Dialysis. She also has a history of problems with her dialysis access, the way by which wastes and fluids are removed from the body. Many of Ms. Montufar's health issues can be treated promptly at an outpatient clinic. However, with restricted Medi-cal, she is unable to have many of her medical needs addressed. This can lead to even more serious problems, resulting in hospitalization and possibly death. Ms. Montufar has been living in the United States for twelve years and receives no financial assistance from our government. Instead she contributed to our economy by working in both California as well as Georgia. Given her medical condition and her contribution to our economy, I ask that Ms. Montufar be granted full Medi-cal benefits under PRUCOL. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call me at 619-262-1960. Sincerely, Luis A.

Public Works/Engineering Environmental Review X N/A Financial Statement N/A Approved BY: Finance Director Account No. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Provide direction to staff as to hoyq/if to proceed with a project to install a traffic signal at 8th Street and V Avenue. �� C BOARD / COMMISSIO RECOMMENDATION N/A ATTACHMENTS ( Listed Below ) Resolution No. A-200 (9 991 Explanation: Jay Cleveland and the Church of Christ desire the installation of a traffic signal at the "T" intersection of 8th Street and V Avenue. Mr. Cleveland has stated that church members have been involved in traffic accidents on 8th Street adjacent to the church facility and he believes that a traffic signal would be the solution to avoid further accidents. As background, About nine years ago, the City installed flashing "pedestrian crossing" warning beacons at this intersection. The installation of the beacons resulted from an investigation of the area believed to be prompted by a traffic accident. The flashing beacons were installed in an effort to alert motorists on 8th Street that pedestrians were likely crossing at the V Avenue intersection. As part of the investigation, the City evaluated the intersection for the possible installation of a traffic signal utilizing the State's traffic signal warrants. A signal was not warranted at that time, and not surprising the study also showed that most of the heavy traffic in the area was on Sundays. The flashing beacons were installed in response to the pedestrian volumes on Sundays. Mr. Cleveland has hired Katz, Okitsu and Associates (traffic engineers) to again analyze the intersection. Their traffic study showed that the State's warrants are now met. Mr. Cleveland subsequently hired KOA to prepare construction drawings to install the traffic signal at the intersection. According to KOA, the estimated cost for the installation of the traffic signal is $105,000.00. Mr. Cleveland has paid all costs assoicated with the plans. According to Mr. Burton Myers, the now retired Director of Public Works/Engineering, Mr. Cleveland was advised he could go ahead with the preparation of the plans and specifications as long as they met City Standards, He was further informed that after the signal was constructed, the maintenance for the signal would be taken over by the City, but the cost of construction would be borne by the Church of Christ. Mr. Cleveland attended the City Council meeting on January 21, 2004 and spoke about the need for the traffic signal. Council directed that staff review the engineering report prepared by KOA and to bring the issue back on a future agenda. Staff has reviewed the traffic study and found that the warrants for a traffic signal are met. Mr. Cleveland has now expressed that the Church of Christ is still willing to pay for the the cost of the traffic signal, but now requests that City provide 50% of the funding. If Council is willing to consider such a funding request, I recommend that staff fully review the traffic signal plans for conformance to City standards, perform an independent cost estimate for the project, and finally come back to Council with a report detailing the cost impact and recommending allocation of funding for the project. If this project moves forward with City funding, the plans and specifications and scheduling must be turned over to the City for complete Public Works project management. This includes the scheduling, competitive bidding, project management, and cost accounting. In addition, some form of written agreement must be reached with the Church for the cost sharing. This would also be a subject of the future Council report. If the project is allowed to move forward without City funding, I recommend that staff review the plans for conformance with City Standards, then issue a permit to a licensed - insured contractor of the Church's choosing for the construction. We would then provide inspection of the work in accordance with the permit. This would be much the same as inspecting a traffic signal installation as part of a development project.
