B. PUBLIC HEARING: STREET IMPROVEMENTS - CAMINO REAL, north
and south sides, Oak Avenue easterly (curb, gutter and
driveway approaches pursuant to Chapter 27, Streets and High-
ways Code)
City Manager Koski presented background information, stating that
City Council at its regular meeting of November 3, 1981, received
petitions for the installation of curb, gutter and driveway
approaches from property owners on Camino Real east of Oak Avenue.
This project will be combined with the already scheduled resur-
facing of Camino Real from Oak Avenue to Temple City Boulevard;
Halifax Road from Live Oak to Lower Azusa Road; and Muscatel Avenue
from Las Tunas to Elm Avenue. The work is projected for April, 1982.
City Manager Koski further explained that the project is in con-
junction with the request for installation of sidewalks on the north
and south side of Camino Real. City Manager Koski informed Council
that some time in the past, the School District in a letter, re-
quested sidewalks in this area. The request for sidewalks was also
in keeping with the policy of the Traffic Commission. The estimated
costs, cost sharing, and funding sources were referred to in the
staff report. City Manager Koski explained that the City would pay
100% for sidewalks under SB 821.
Mayor Merritt declared the public
wishing to speak to come forward.

seconded by Councilman Gillanders
hearing open and invited anyone
There being no one come forward
to close the public hearing,
and carried.
Councilman Atkins inquired as to whether or not curbs and gutters were
included on both sides of Camino Real. City Manager Koski confirmed
his inquiry.
Councilman Tyrell expressed his opinion regarding the sidewalks
and felt that sidewalks were not necessary on the north side of
Camino Real. He felt that they would not be used and did not
agree with the reasons given for the sidewalks.
Councilman Gillanders stated that being that the funds for SB 821
came from gas tax and that all of the people contributed to this
fund, he felt that these funds should only be used where necessary
and that everyone should not have to pay for sidewalks for someone
else. He also stated his objection to the City paying 100% for
the sidewalks.
Mayor Merritt stated that since the funding for the sidewalks came
from gas tax that the property owners requesting the sidewalks were
also indirectly paying a portion of the sidewalks.
Assistant City Manager Kimbrough was asked to speak on the subject.
He informed Council that the property owners were in favor of having
sidewalks on both sides of the street and that the property owners
understood that sidewalks would be recommended as part of the project.
He further explained that both sides of the street would be used by
students. In response to Council's questions, he reported that the
sidewalks would be placed adjacent to the property line so that
trees and shubbery on the parkways would not have to be removed.
Assistant City Manager Kimbrough also indicated that sidewalks on
the north side of Camino Real would be a continuation of the sidewalks
already existing on the north side of Camino Real east of Brentmead.
