10.1 Stonebrook Truck Traffic MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously to add the issue of Stonebrook Truck Traffic to the agenda as an urgency item. Bonnie Riley, 12237 Stonebrook, Alan Dale, 25274 La Loma, Bob Matthews, Prospect and John Kiefer, 12231 Stonebrook each addressed the Council with their concerns about the truck traffic on Stonebrook. These concerns included safety issues, traffic, trucks driving too fast, cars being run off the road and the road being destroyed. Mr. Kiefer suggested opening up Stonebrook to Magdalena as it used to be. Siegel suggested that the road from El Monte to Prospect be made a one way truck traffic route with the owners of the trucks being required to manage this with flag men, etc. Richard Voss, Stevens Creek Quarry Truck Company, did not think that Councilmember Siegel's proposal would work. There was too little room to stage the trucks; it was a difficult task to accomplish. John Vidovich, DeAnza Properties, stated that he was concerned about the safety issue and he was meeting with the Sheriff later in the week to discuss what they could do about this situation. He did note that the quarry had been emptied at one time with little or no incident. Mr. Vidovich noted the trucks did not run every day and they were about half done with the project. Council discussed various options included allowing fewer trucks, encouraging trucks to use their radios for better communication, use of triple trucks and reduced speed limits for trucks. It was agreed that Siegel and staff would attend the meeting with John Vidovich and the Sheriff's Department on this subject and if necessary the Council would schedule a special meeting. 11.
