CONSENT CALENDAR Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, said he had questions regarding Items 6.B. , C. , D. , E. , and F. on the Consent Calendar. The City Council requested that he ask his questions. On Item 6.B. , Resolution Approving Amendment to Contractual Services Agreement with Environmental Science Associates, Mr. Filipovich asked if this contract was relative to the Dutra contract. He said, if so, it should not be approved without discussion. Mike Oliver, City Manager, said the City Council had extensive information on the contract. He said that the Environmental Science Associates contract was to cover monitoring services that have to be done to comply with CEQA regulations. On Item 6.C. , the Resolution Approving Contract Change Order for the Street Tree Planting Project, Mr. Filipovich asked why the City was spending $61,000 on trees when there are financial problems in the City. On Item 6.0. , related to Deleting Two-Hour Parking on Williams Street, Mr. Filipovich asked how long the parking had been in effect. He said unlimited parking at this location would mean that truckers who used to use the Lasley Truck Stop would park overnight, and this would cause problems. He asked how the City would keep overnight parking off the street. Roy Parker, Transportation Administrator, said the two-hour parking had been in effect for a number of years. He said there are a number of locations in town where two-hour parking was needed when the commercial activity was hirer but is no longer needed now. Council Member Myers said at least 70%a of the occupants along the street must request removal of parking restrictions for them to be removed, and in this case 100%o of the occupants had asked for removal of the parking. The City Council pointed out that the two-hour parking that was being removed was only in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. , in any event, so the overnight-parking issue was not relevant.
