ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Hamid Bahadori, Citv Traffic En�ineer - About 2 months ago, you brought two issues to the attention of staff, one was #he parking of recreational vehicles on city streets and the other was parking on city owned parkways. Just a 30-second briefing, it is still under discussion between Traffic Engineering, the Police Department, and the City Attorney's office. There are issues of State law pre-empting locals doxng certain things and certain definitions defined already by State law that we have to look i�to. I believe that we can get them all resolved and come back to you next month. Thank you. � V. ORAL PRESENTATIONS Bea Ve�a, 486 N. Olive St. - I live on 01ive St. between Sycamore and Walnut. I feel that Glassell is getting a iot of consideration, and we are not. We are accommodating parking for people from the adult education on Kilford School, then�ve get them from Chapman, and now that they're working,ali the vUcarkers go to park in front of our house. Then,�ve're getting it from the students because v�e have the students parking there too. So, I think, we need some kind of consideration because it's really been terrible. Lemon St., it's a highway. The trucks lined-up, and now the bus is rerouted from Glassell,it turns on Walnut up to Lemon. So, I think, we need some permit parking or some help. We've been to Chapman College meetings, and they just ignore us, it's getting awfully hard to be good neighbors with them because,I think,that we're getting more than the business people there on Glassell. Then all the noise, none of us really come and complains, but I guess I'm the most vocal one around there. Then we ha.ve a lo�of apartments too, besides the two schools. So, maybe you can help us do something,at least permit parking. Thank you. VI. ADJOURNMENT Discussion of all today's Agenda items before the City Traffic Commission being complete, and there being no further requests for action under Oral Presentations, the Chairman hereby adjourns this session of the City Traffic Commission to it's next regular meeting.
