Mrs. Judy Carico asked as to the cost of Installa- tion of these signs, stating the need for them to be `, properly Installed. Mrs. Ann Spencer requested a clarification as to why this matter was now being taken up under the CONSENT CALENDAR, when the Pathway Committee had been asked to provide further Input to the City Council. Mayor Helgesson replied that the Pathway Committee had made further recommenda- tions and that they had been reviewed by Council so that the matter was now properly listed under the CONSENT CALENDAR with the option of having the Item removed from the CONSENT CALENDAR by Council or the Public. Speaking from the floor: Mrs. Millie Saviano stated that while she was In favor of the purchase of these equestrian signs, she was not In favor of the circumstances Involved In the Pathway Committee's arrival at the decision to recom- mend them. There had been no quorum at the meeting and those participating had been mainly members of the Horsemen's Association. Hence, there was no true citizen representation at this meeting. Councilman Grabowski objected to there being no quorum at the meeting where several recommendations were presented. City Manager Lawson stated that the Minutes so reflected the fact and that discussion on various matters at the AW meeting was recorded with this fact In mind. Councilman Grabowski stated he felt the matter should be referred once again to the Pathway Committee. Councilman Kubby requested Mrs. Saviano to clarify whether or not she was in favor of the purchase of the signs, to which she replied that she was, but that she was not in favor of the circumstances surrounding the recommendation to purchase them. Speaking from the floor: Mr. A.M. Laws stated his contention that the eques- trian signs are not as much of a benefit to horsemen as they are of benefit to the motorist. Mrs. Dora Sukiennicki stated that signs were appro- priate In most locations, but that in the case of Page Mill Road, pathways should be provided for the safety of horsemen prior to erection of signs In that location. Mrs. Judy Carico stated that signs should be provided, but that the location of these signs was the only real point of disagreement. Mr. Bob Basil felt that there might be other prior- Itles more Important than the posting of equestrian signs at the present time. City Manager Lawson pointed out that a priority list does exist and that funds `r are available at this time to fill this request, without having to sacrifice any other project. -4-
