MATTERS FROM MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
raffic Delineators - Portuguese Bend Road
Mayor Nadal asked the City Manager to contact the Road
Department regarding the yellow traffic delineators they had in-
stalled on Portuguese Bend Road, south of Crest Road, to ask whether
several of the delineators could be relocated --closer to the yell,6w
line in the center of the road. Mrs. Clifton said that she would
relay the request to Mr. Phil Slavin of Los Angeles County Road
Department.

Councilman Fay advised that a letter had been received from
Hillside Rubbish Company advising the Council 'of their intention to
divest themsA_lves of the operation, and requesting that they be re-
leased from the franchise with the City, and that Mayor Nadal had
asked him to serve on a committee with Councilman Sauer and the City
Manager to locate a new service for the City of Rolling Hills. Coun-
cilman Fay asked Mrs. Clifton to schedule a meeting with a repre-
sentative of Palos Verdes Rubbish Removal Company.
MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICERS
Pupil Loading Area - La Cresta School
Mrs. Clifton presented a report of observations of passenger
oading and unloading at La Cresta School prepared by Robert R. Mc-
onald, Chief Security Officer for the City.
After reviewing the report Councilman Sauer advised that one
rail of the access stairway had been struck by a car and dislodged,
and requested that more specific markings be added to direct traffic
depositing and picking up children.
Following discussion, Councilman Sauer moved that additional
asphalt be added to the area to accommodate more cars, that double
yellow lines be put in that area of Crest Road to eliminate the problem
of cars passing in the school zone, that residents be notified of the
measures being taken in the area, and that two officers be stationed
at the school at dismissal time on Friday, December 20th. Motion was
seconded by Councilman Hesse and unanimously carried.
Fire Hydrant Requirement, Tract 28172, Albert Pinamonti
The City Manager advised the Council that sufficient fire flow
is available to Tract 281.72 located at 4 Saddleback Road, but that to
conform to the Subdivision Ordinance of the City of Rolling Hills, Mr.
Albert Pinamonti, owner, would be required to install a hydrant on the
111though
astern boundary of Lot 2 of the tract.
During the discussion that followed, Mrs. Clifton stated that
an additional hydrant would be beneficial to owners of adjoin-
ing property, placement of the hydrant in the location suggested by
the Fire Department is a more stringent requirement than is now required
by Subdivision Ordinance No. 67. Councilman Fay suggested that the
other property owners should be asked to help financially for the im-
provement that would be of benefit to them. Mrs. Clifton stated that in
early 1969 the City Attorney and the City Manager would like to present
for the Council's consideration an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance
regarding hydrant requirements.
