TO PUBLICIZED COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL PARTIES for first reading by
title only. Councilman Atkins moved to waive further reading, seconded
by Councilman Dennis and carried.
B. House Numbering on Curbs
Councilman Dennis stated the City has been getting recommendations
from the Sheriff's Department for better house number identification
within the City and the same concern would hold true for the Fire
Department and Paramedics. In the past this has been done by young
entrepreneur or groups doing it on a volunteer basis as a fund raiser.
Councilman Dennis stated he feels the City should contract for the
work to be done at every dwelling in the community on a continuing
basis and moved to instruct the City Manager to find a contractor
and solicit bid, seconded by Councilman Atkins and carried.

City Manager Koski stated the, master controller which coordinated
the interconnect system at Las Tunas Drive and Temple City Boulevard

Assemblyman Lancaster regarding SB 33 and stating that he would
now support the bill because of changes made in the Assembly

diesels, which are the greatest pollutants are exempted. At the
request of Mayor Tyrell, Councilman Gillanders will prepare a letter
to go to our representatives.
G. Councilman Gillanders stated with Council's permission he will -
