Audrey Hamilton, resident of Copper Mountain
Drive, gave testimony of her observances of

suggestions rather than closures.
CE/Kranzer responded that what is needed now
that the improvements are in place is to let
them work.
DISCUSSION:
REVIEW OF CE/Kranzer gave update on Council actions to
PROCEDURES date. As committee members have questions and
concerns which are unclear in the resolution
before them, Committee Member Moesser moved
and Committee Member Chavers seconded to table
this matter until next meeting when the City
Attorney can be present to address their
concerns and clarify some of the sections of
the resolution.
QUAIL SUMMIT DRIVE CE/Kranzer would like to collect traffic
CIRCULATION counts and return to the November meeting as
he doesn't feel the counts would be back from
LA County by the October meeting.
Committee Member Chavers moved and Committee
Member Gravdahl seconded to recommend to
Council to table the matter of any closures
until the Traffic and Transportation Committee
has had time to collect data and evaluate the
■ improvements now in place and also have
procedures for street closures adopted.
