Facilities Committee Meeting of January 6, 2005. Accepted as submitted. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos commented on the Traffic Calming Program and recalled <br />that he had requested a study on the traffic conditions on Virginia Street and <br />Douglas Drive. Councilmember Grant pointed out that Virginia Street is listed on <br />the report. Mr. Jermanis stated that staff had followed up on Councilmember <br />Santos' request for study and found that the priority ranking for those streets was <br />not as high as for others. The Facilities Committee was looking at the projects to <br />be undertaken in the upcoming budget year, but the streets mentioned by <br />Councilmember Santos may be considered in future years. Councilmember <br />Santos noted the speeding problems on Virginia and Douglas. Councilmember <br />Glaze suggested that the City Manager could report on where those streets are on <br />the list. <br /> <br />2. Finance Committee Meeting of December 16,2004. Accepted as submitted. <br /> <br />12. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant thanked Recreation and Human Services Director Carolyn Knudtson <br />and her staff for a great Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration. <br /> <br />Councilmember Glaze echoed Councilmember Grant's appreciation of the Martin Luther <br />King, Jr. event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos requested that the Council adjourn tonight's meeting in memory of <br />Earl Brush, one of the oldest individuals in the world. He noted that Mr. Brush's daughter <br />lives on Sitka Street in Mulford Gardens. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos received written information from a resident about the Handicapped <br />Enforcement Program in Fremont, which utilizes volunteers for handicapped parking <br />enforcement and brings in about $250,000 a year for that city. <br /> <br />Councilmember Glaze recalled that several years ago, a similar program was presented to the <br />Council.

The Council requested that staff research what happened <br />to the program. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Badger commented that he will also adjourn the meeting in memory of Eva <br />Nardine, the mother-in-law of Council member Glenda Nardine, who passed away on Sunday <br />at the age of 87. <br />
