CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - October 15, 1975 C. SPECIAL REPORTS: (Taken out of Order as it appaars on the Agenda) 1. Presentations from the Floor: a) Mrs. Irma Goldsmith, Chairman, Traffic P, Public Safety Committee: Stated that Committee had requested that she bring to Council's attention the fact that Thatcher Drive, which is one of the quickest routes to E1 Camino Hospital from the Town,had been dead -ended.
