<br />Councilman Williams suggested then that signing might encourage use of the paths;
<br />,an ordinance used in that manner might be helpful. Councilman Keller suggested
<br />an educational campaign by the Bike Committee. Manager said enforcement of use
<br />of paths was now a Bike Committee project. A recommendation in that regard was
<br />expected by mid-summer.
<br />
<br />Councilman Wood repeated his concern with hazards both to bicyclists and motorists,
<br />and wondered whether there had been progress in cutting down on nuisance calls
<br />: which would give more time for patrol. Captain Larion answered that research
<br />, was in progress and a proposal expected soon with regard to services considered
<br />: low on the priority list. Elimination of some may be recommended thereby creat-
<br />:ing available time to handle things with higher priority. The research also in-
<br />cluded ways of handling some situations more effectively without committing sub-
<br />stantial manpower. He said a budget request was submitted for a limited amount
<br />~of manpower to patrol bike paths; that request did not include enforcement on
<br />'bike "lanes" since it was recognized that the only method of controlling paths
<br />~was through use of bicycle patrol.
<br />
<br />City Attorney noted that revision of State motor vehicle code was in progress.
<br />Ultimate revision of the City code to conform was anticipated which would give
<br />,an opportunity to consider ways of requiring use of bicycle lanes.

<br />,Councilwoman Campbell indicated a desire for future discussion of bicycle facil- I
<br />\ities and status of the Bike Committee. Councilman Williams hoped the Bike Com- )
<br />\mittee would be informed of the Council's concern about safety hazards. It was'
<br />'understood those concerns would be discussed during forthcoming bud~et sessions.

<br />'Planning Commission recommended annexation of both properties . Maps were dis-'
<br />played indicating boundaries of the areas to be annexed in accordance with
<br />1 contracts between the City and property owners. Neither property lies within
<br />the Goodpasture "moratorium" area.
<br />
<br />~anager explained that description of the Valley River Inn property was subject
<br />: to revision by the Boundary Commission because it is not known whether the area
<br />on which the Inn's sign is located would be included for annexation. The sign
<br />ts included in th~ area being referred. Referral to the Boundary Commission
<br />for consideration at its February 7, 1974 meeting was necessary if the area ;was
<br />to be included in the County Assessor's additions to the City's tax base. Staff
<br />will have opportunity to discuss the matter with the property owners so that the
<br />, Boundary Commission can be approached in agreement. The Boundary Commissio~
<br />, could then make any change desired. '

<br />
<br />: Councilwoman Campbell expressed concern about the Valley River Inn sign. She
<br />:i thought it unfair to erect a nonconforming sign knowing the property would be
<br />: annexed to the City, then having five years in which to conform to the City's
<br />!sign code. Councilman Wood shared those concerns.
