AB 118770 - AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT FUND. (LCP) City Manager Frank Aleshire gave the initial report on this item, stating Gary Wayne was present for questions. Mayor Casler stated it was necessary to have a recommendation or a proposal by Council to take to the Conservancy Board in October. She suggested the following: 1. The proposals that the Conservancy is investigating all have merit and should be supported. ~ 2. If the City wants to pursue its ag-land purchase or long-term lease proposal, it should expand the list of possible parcels to include all land suitable for agricultural and this could even include lots in the northwest portion of the City that are currently committed to agriculture. 3. The City should initiate an LCP Amendment to either expand the "Sunset Clause" for an additional five year or eliminate it all together. Another option would be to convert the ag- improvements fund into the fund set-up by the City's current LCP. The monies could then be used to enhance "other" local coastal resources, including agriculture. This later option would probably meet with both Coastal Commission and Conservancy opposition. - Council directed the AG Committee should, as the number one priority, initiate an LCP amendment; number two, support all of the AG Improvement Programs recommended by the Committee, and; three, pursue ag- land purchase or lease, as previously discussed. (29) 24. A6 f8694 - Supplement #2 - 1986-87 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET AND 1986-91 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Assistant Manager Frank Mannen gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill.

He stated the only issue not resolved is the suggested fill instead of the bridge. He stated Avis-Beiri was absolutely committed to the Assessment District. 34 / c COUNCIL 1) 3 % MEMBERS % $ Casler Lewis xx X Pettine X Chick x Kulchin X - I . a a MINUTES September 23, 1986 Page 8 DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS: (continued) Mayor Casler inquired about the three freeway bridges and the traffic signals at those bridges. Mr. Mannen stated the signalization of the ramps would be part of the bridge and thoroughfare district project. Mayor Casler stated she felt the traffic signals would be needed before the bridges were built. She also inquired whether they should be in the five year CIP, and Mr. Mannen said they could be included. He suggested staff do a study with CalTrans to determine where it would be appropriate to install signals to improve the traffic flow. Mayor Casler stated the Palomar Airport Road -- 1-5 interchange would need a signal soon. Frank Mannen stated the five-year Capital Improvement Program is a plan and can be changed as conditions change. George Mason, 3070 Monroe Street, a resident on the southeast corner of the intersection of Elm Avenue and Monroe Street, addressed Council stating he noticed the Capital Improvement Budget did not include the traffic signal at Monroe Street and Elm Avenue. He stated he realized it was in the original plan, but it had been deleted at this time. He stated he would like to make a pitch for that signal at this time, inasmuch as there are accidents and near accidents at that intersection. He felt it was important to put the signal in, especially with the extension of Elm Avenue in the near future. Mayor Casler stated she would vote against including this signal in the CIP, inasmuch as she felt there were more critical needs at this time. Council directed staff to reinstate the traffic signal at Elm Avenue and Monroe Street in the CIP for this year. Mayor Casler stated she would vote for the Resolution but with the indication that she did oppose the traffic signal at Elm Avenue and Monroe Street.
