. \ I \ C.Consideration of Amendment to Alarm or~nance - January 23 memo to City Manager from Police Department, along with proposed ordinance, have been distributed to Council. The ordinance basically separates alarms sold on the shelf vs. the ones installed in a house by a retailer. By lifting the license fee for selling alarms off the shelf, it is hoped to encourage purchase of more alarms as a matter of public safety. Mr. Keller moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to tentati vely approve the ordinance. MOtion carried unanimously. Comm 1/28/76 Approve D. Peti tions : 'J..

Fifth Avenue Bike Path - Manager stated extensive polling has been completed of affected residents and staff is recommending a March 8 public hearing be called to consider proposals prepared by Public Works. Manager noted that in the past the City Manager's office makes a determination after receiving results of studies. In this instance, staff would like Council to review material before making a decision, due to the number of request;s received for a public hearing. Mr. Williams was concerned that a step was being bypassed in the normal process of having the matter go to the City Manager from the staff for a decision. City Attorney will further pursue the question but he feels that the process is not overlooking a step. - Comm 2/4/76 Delete (See action below) Councilman Haws wondered about the process under consideration - holding a public hearing on this issue at this point. He thought it would result in two public hear- ings and wondered if the Manager himself could hold a hearing on the issue. Manager explained that because of the number of requests for a hearing on the removal of park- ing and installation of a bike route on 5th Avenue it was thought better to have a hearing to give the opportunity for explaining the program to property owners involved. Then if there was further appeal after the administrative decision was made, the Council could go through the normal public hearing on an appeal. Councilman Bradley thought a staff hearing would suffice for the purpose of making an administrative decision, after which a public hearing before the Council could be held if an appeal was filed. Hr. Haws moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to call a public hearing on the Fifth Avenue Bike Path proposal, including removal of some on-street parking, for March 8. Motion carried unanilOOusly. Mr. Haws moved second by Mr. Bradley to delete Item E from the consent calendar. - Further discussion brought out code procedure - provision for appeal to the Council after administrative decision by the staff. Assistant Manager pointed out that was the procedure used in removing parking and installing a bike route on Pearl Street. However, a higher percentage of resistance to the parking removal had been experienced 2/9/76 - 15 '77
