by the City of Rolling Hills Estates,, and the Paramedic program. Another

MOTORCYCLES
WX
Mayor Battaglia asked Councilman Crocker to report on the pro-
posed ordinance regarding operation of motorcycles in Rolling Hills.
Councilman Crocker said members of the motorcycle committee had
met with representatives of the Sheriff's Department and interested
residents. The conclusion of the committee, after considering the exist-
ing traffic ordinance and the proposed ordinance, was that the provisions
in the traffic ordinance regarding motorcycles, if strictly enforced,
would be sufficient. Councilman Crocker said he wished to request and
recommend that the Sheriff's Department be instructed to issue citations
for violations of the ordinance, and that no warning tickets be given,
since the warning was contained in information sent to all residents
in a recent newsletter. I I
Councilman Crocker moved that the motorcycle provisions as
contained in Traffic Ordinance No. 116 be strictly enforced, and that
the Sheriff's Department be requested to strictly enforce the provisions
of the Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rose.
Councilman Heinsheimer amended Councilman Crocker's motion to I
state that provisions of the motion as made remain in effect for a three
month trial period, and if it is not effective in that time,
more strin-
gent measures be,considered, and additional legislation be adopted. The
amendment to the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Le Conte.
The amendment to the motion was carried by the following roll
call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Crocker, Heinsheimer, Le Conte, Rose,

NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Mayor Battaglia asked Sgt. Roger Johnson, Lennox Sheriff's
Department, to speak to the Council on the matter, especially on the
request that the Sheriff strictly 'enforce the existing ordinance without
first issuing warnings.
-2-
May 13, 1974
n.. Sgt. Johnson advised the Council that it is impossible for a
Sheriff's patrol car to follow a motorcycle onto a horse trail, which
is where most motorcyclists go when the Sheriff attempts to stop them.
Further, he explained that the Sheriff cannot issue a citation. for an
incident which he did not observe, therefore cannot act on repeated
complaints of residents unless he observes the violation and catches
the violator. If the officer does not observe the violation, a resident
can call the station and make a complaint, an officer will come to the
home and fill out a complaint report which goes to the court for a
.f.ormal complaint, in which the complaining party must then go down and
.sign a formal complaint before the District Attorney against the offend-
ing party, and appear again when the case is called to trial, when the
complaining party must appear as a witness. Sgt. Johnson said the pro-
cedure is time consuming for citizens.
Another method is the citizen's arrest, in which the violator
t` is apprehended by a citizen and held until an officer arrives, at which
JO time the officer is asked to take the violator into custody for a par -
r__4 ticular violation. After being taken to the station. and booked, the
ID
offender is released on bail, or cited at the station for an appearance
Qin court. The complaining party is required to go to court and file
the complaint and appear as a witness. These are alternatives avail-
able when a deputy sheriff is not present to witness a violation.
Councilman Heinsheimer asked Sgt. Johnson to comment on issuing
a warning rather than a citation. Sgt. Johnson said there is no set
policy, and the matter is left to the descretion of the arresting
officer, based on what he has observed, and he considers it impossible
to set a policy that every motorcyclist stopped will be cited, since
the Sheriff's department can not determine in advance what violations
will occur in the street.
Councilman Crocker asked Sgt.. Johnson whether the Sheriff would
cite every violator rather than issue a warning, and Sgt. Johnson said
that every violator observed committing a violation of the ordinance
would be cited if caught, if the Council so wishes. Councilman Crocker
said he wished to have the Community warned in the Newsletter, and
subsequent violators cited. Sgt. Johnson said the difficulty is in
being able to catch the violator after observing the violation. Coun-
cilwoman Le Conte asked whether a picture of a violation could be used
as evidence, and Sgt. Johnson said a picture could be used as a basis
for a complaint if the person filing the complaint could identify the
motorcycle and the operator.
Councilman Rose said he felt more emphasis should be put on,
the problem of noise, and Councilman Crocker said an attempt had been
made to regulate the decibel rating, but it was determined that it
would be possible for an operator to pass a test, then remove the
silencer and operate a motorcycle in violation of approved noise
levels. Further, Councilman Crocker said he had been advised that
the Sheriff issues citations on the basis of disturbance by excessive
noise, and it is Councilman Crocker's opinion. that the penalties
specified in the ordinance are strict enough for control; however, often
the penalties are not imposed by the judges hearing the case.
Councilman Heinsheimer said the proposed ordinance was an
attempt to eliminate from the City the type of vehicle that causes
problems because of use on the trails and excessive noise, and the
Council thought it would be more enforceable since it dealt with the
nature of the vehicle and would not require a complaint by residents
regarding operation. Councilman Heinsheimer recommended that Council-
man Crocker and his committee remain active and maintain liaison with
the Sheriff for the.next three months, with a report to be made to the
Council after that period of time. Mayor Battaglia so ordered.

JOINT POLICE PROTECTION
May 13, 1974
221
Mayor Battaglia invited Captain Kenneth Hays, Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department, Lennox Station, to speak to the Council on the
subject of joint.police protection for cities on the Peninsula.
Captain Hays presented copies of a chart of Contract Law Enr.
forcemeat based on figures adopted by the Board of Supervisors for
services at the present level and services at the proposed level.
Captain Hays said that complete agreement had not been reached by the
Peninsula cities either with or without the City of Lomita, and it is
doubtful that such agreement will be reached before the start of the
next fiscal year, July..1, 1974. If Lomita does not join with the
Peninsula cities a satisfactory arrangement for law enforcement could
be developed; however, Captain Hays said it probably would not be
practical for any two of the Peninsula cities -to make a joint arrange-
ment without the third city. The idea of regional law enforcement is
basically a good one, Captain Hays said, but would have to be run to'
the satisfaction of the cities Varticipating, rather than on ideas
presented wholly by the Sheriff s Department. Captain Hays explained
that the concept being considered is deployment of units on a regional
basis, rather than to individual cities, which gives more flexibility
for use of personnel and facilities, and has been very successful used
out of the Lakewood Station and the Norwalk Station. The Peninsula
lends itself ideally to the concept, Captain Hays said, but because of
lack.of complete agreement at this time, it was his recommendation that
the cities proceed on individual contract basis, at least at the begin-
ning of the fiscal year.
Mayor Battaglia advised the Council that atthe recent.meeting
of the Mayors and representatives. -of the Councils 6f the other Penin-
sula cities he had presented a charter for review outlining the goals
of the sub -committee with regard to joint police protection, and had
recommended that the Committee organize itself towards the submittal
of an initial report to the Four Cities Committee in early August 1974.
The Mayor thanked Captain. Hays for his presentation. to the Council and
said he wished to have a workshop with the Sheriff's Department repre-
sentatives and the Council working to develop a program of services that
would be financially feasible.

ANTON B. WEBER, 53 PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD 436
A letter from Anton B. Weber, 53 Portuguese Bend Road, dated
April 28, 1974 was presented to the Council. Mr. Weber requested that
the requirements of Ordinance No. 117 adopted after the fire in June
1973 and requiring fire retardant roofing on all new construction and
on additions -exceeding 25% of the residence be waived, and that he be
permitted to use cedar shakes on a proposed addition to his home.
SM
May 13, 1974
Mr.'Weber advised the Council that he had stayed at his home
and fought the fire and saved the residence, which has a shake roof,
as many others who stayed to fight the fire did. He said that the
residents who left their homes lost them. Mr. Weber said further that
he has spent a large sum of money complying with County requirements
f -or geological studies before his plans for expansion could be approved,
and he said he has a life -time roof on his home which was installed 18
years ago and requested permission, to put a similar roof on the proposed
addition, which has been approved by the Architectural Committee.
Councilman Heinsheimer moved that the Council approve Mr.
Weber's request and waive requirements for fire retardant roofing on
the proposed addition to his home. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Rose for purposes of discussion. and carried by the following roll
call vote:

Q TENTATIVE TRACT 29383, CLIFTON HIX
The Manager presented copies of the Planning Advisor's Report
dated November 13, 1973 and revised April 15, 1974, and the minutes of
the Planning Commission on April 16, 1974 to the City Council.
Mr. Roger Meurer, engineer for Mr. Hix, displayed an aerial
photograph of the area, and on a colored map showed the proposed road
improvement, the building pads and.the grading necessary to accomplish
the proposed development. Further, Mr. Meurer explained that there is
reluctance to open roads through the City, so the improvement of Buggy
Whip to City standards will terminate in a cul de sac south of the
northerly boundary of the subdivision, and an all weather road will be
graded from the cul de sac to join with Middleridge Lane South for
purposes of emergency access.
Mr. Meurer explained that the property consists of twenty acres
in the two acre zone, and is being divided into six parcels of approx-
imately three acres each, and an additional parcel which will be given
to the City for a riding ring. Mr. Meurer said it is his intention -to
request a time extension to give the Council an opportunity to make.a
field trip to the site.
Mayor Battaglia asked the Manager whether the Environmental
Impact Report on the tract had been prepared for presentation and .Mrs.
Clifton said it had not been presented. Mayor Battaglia orderdd the
matter held on the agenda until the report has been prepared for
presentation, and asked the Manager to advise Mr. Meurer, who had left
the meeting, that no further consideration will be given to any sub-
division unless the Environmental Impact Report is presented to the
Council with the Tentative Tract Map.
MIRALESTE HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER SWIMMING SCHOOL PROGRAM 754
Mrs. Marion Ruth advised the Council that she was present to
represent the Miraleste Swim Pool Foundation, and to request that the
-C ty of Rolling Hills again sponsor the summer swimming pool program
as they have in the past three years.
Mayor Battaglia suggested that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
be contacted for sponsorship, since the school is located in that city.
Mrs. Ruth said that when the City of Rolling Hills originally sponsored
the program the school was in unincorporated territory, and it was the
intention of the foundation to eventually ask Rancho Palos Verdes to
sponsor the program; however, since the new City is inundated with
other work at this time, the foundation would prefer Rolling Hills to
-5-
Ur

handle the program this year on an hourly basis. Mrs. Ruth introduced
Mr. Bruce Edson, treasurer of the pool foundation, and said that Randy
Beardsley, Miraleste High School coach, will again handle the pool
program.
Mr. Edson said that last year the City received the sum of
$750 for sponsoring the pool and taking care of details such as adminis-
tering the payroll and printing information notices. This year printing
of information will be taken care of by the foundation, and Mr. Edson
suggested that the sum be reduced to $375 for payroll services for the
year. Following discussion Mayor Battaglia advised Mrs. Ruth and Mr.
Edson that a decision on the matter would be made at a personnel session
to follow the regular meeting, and asked that Mrs. Ruth contact Mrs.
Clifton the next orning for a decision.
Councilwoman Le Conte asked that Mrs. Ruth be congratulated in
the minutes of the City Council meeting for her work and leadership in
establishing the pool and operating it for the benefit of the children
of Rolling Hills.

police force, separate and apart from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department was discussed, and an ad hoc committee was formed to study
the proposal. Further reports will be made to the Council as the study
continues, Councilman. Heinsheimer said. Representatives of three of
the Peninsula cities are on the committee, and the City of Palos Verdes
Estates, which has its own police department and has declined to join
in the study, has offered to provide any information, that may be help-
ful to the members of the Committee. Mayor Battaglia asked Coucilman

Councilman Rose reported.on a transportation proposal devel-
oped by Supervisor. Schabarum to meet present needs without a fixed
rail system. To do this, use of private cars would be discouraged
during peak rush hours, and special lighting devices would be installed
at freeway entrances that would give priority access to buses and car
pool cars. Buses would travel in counter -traffic lanes, and main traf-
fic streets in the Los Angeles area would be changed to accommodate
the counter traffic lanes handling buses and car pool cars. Council-
man Rose said that in his opinion the system would not apply to the
