(1022) 5.13 Ordinance No. 96 -014, An Ordinance Amending Section 4 -14 -100 of the San Leandro Municipal Code Relating to Discharge of Firearms (amends the San Leandro Municipal Code to prohibit the discharge of firearms within the City of San Leandro, except for specific circumstances, as permitted by law; possession of a hunting license by the State of California shall not be considered "permitted by law "). (2603/1413) - Adopted 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Items Removed from the Consent Calendar. 5.11 Matter of Deleting and Designating Stop Signs, Intersections, Donna Street and Lillian Avenue (provides for deleting three -way stop at Donna Street and Lillian Avenue and replacing with a stop sign at Lillian Avenue, northbound approach). Removed from the Consent Calendar to New Business. Engineering and Transportation Director Bill Algire presented a staff report and displayed a site map for reference. He said the issue goes back to 1966. He said staff did not have a recommendation and was willing to comply with the petitioners' request for removal of the stop signs. He said in 1990 the issue had been brought up by the Halcyon - Foothill Homeowners' Association. Vice Mayor Polvorosa cited an earlier speaker commenting on neighbors speeding in the area. He also noted that the petitioners were from Lillian Avenue only. Council Member Young said she uses the route daily. She did not recall seeing excessive speeding. She said there seemed to be a lack of information from the surrounding area other than on Lillian. Upon her request, staff clarified the petition process. Bill Algire said that, if the City Council felt the petitions did not fully represent the area, staff could approach them for additional information. Council Member Young noted her concern that, if the two signs are removed, speeding traffic may eventually become a problem. She asked that the item be continued to October 21, 1996, so that she could conduct a survey of the residents. Mayor Corbett noted the entire issue should be looked into since it may be problematic to replace stop signs for a second time. She also asked staff to review the safety issues.
