PAUSE TO CONSIDER THE REMAINDER OF THE AGENDA:

REGULAR NEW BUSINESS:

(15 mins) 9.          Innovative Traffic Safety Technologies Report (Jules)
Recommendation: 1) Receive and file information regarding innovative traffic safety technology projects; and, 2) Direct staff to draft a letter of support for Assembly Bill 987 for the Mayor's signature and submit to Assembly Member Fiona Ma’s and Assembly Member Bonnie Lowenthal’s offices.

(15 mins) 10.        Approval of Agreement between the City and the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority for Park Ranger Services (Waters)
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the 120-day agreement between the City and the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority in an amount not to exceed $23,000 for Park Ranger services.

(15 mins) 11.        Sheriff Issued Picture Identifications and City Council Badges (Stern)
Recommendation: 1) The City Council should adopt a policy eliminating the City Council badges; 2) When identification of Council Members is appropriate, the Sheriff issued photo identification, which actually shows the person claiming to be a Council Member should be sufficient for legitimate identification purposes;
3) Unfortunately, past Council Members have “lost” badges so there are badges out in the public held by persons who are not actually Council Members, and hence the badge does not actually prove the identity of the holder as a present Council Member; and, 4) If City Council Members believe that it is desirable to have a medallion of some sort, I suggest that the City have a medallion designed like our City logo; however, it should not be made to look like a law enforcement officer’s badge of any sort.
