Councilmember Beltran stated he asked for a report on restitution workers and where they work. Councilmember Beltran stated none of these areas are in the Landscape Maintenance District. Councilmember Beltran stated he is satisfied with the report that was forwarded. Daryl Parrish, Assistant City Manager, stated that due to a lapse in the contract for the area of Cooley Ranch, that area was not maintained but the contractor was out last week and they will be there again this week. Councilmember Bennett asked Mr. Parrish to inform her when the wall is repaired. Mr. Parrish agreed. Mayor Fulp asked for a schedule that repairs will take place. Councilmember Hutton suggested Mr. Parrish come to the Council with a quote for repairs so the Council will approve repairs. Mr. Parrish agreed to provide further information. There were no further discussions and since this was an informational item no vote was necessary. Fred Cordova, 190 West "E" Street, Colton, stated the Council needs to look very closely regarding the card parlor. Mr. Cordova stated the City needs money and there are no avenues to tax citizens. Mr. Cordova stated people are concerned that welfare money will be spent on gambling. People are leaving the City to gamble, so at least keep the money in the City. Mr. Cordova asked that the matter be put on the ballot and let the people vote. Jean Hart, 952 E. Palm Drive, Colton, stated that Councilmember Beltran has pictures and papers regarding street resurfacing for Palm Drive. Ms. Hart stated she put in this request in 1988. Ms. Hart stated there are also problems by Alice Birney School and on Fairview. Ms. Hart stated the Council is lax in solving problems. Ms. Hart stated the funds for resurfacing were used for the new children's pool. Ms. Hart stated the street superintendent was amazed the school did not have markings. Ms. Hart has asked for a crosswalk between Fairview and Alice Birney School. Councilmember Beltran stated it is against the law to put the crosswalk in as requested. Councilmember Beltran stated Ms. Hart wanted a street light on Mt. Vernon Ave. and Palm and it was done. Councilmember Beltran stated the crosswalk issue was before the Traffic Committee. Councilmember Hutton stated school officials and PTA were against placing a crosswalk at that location. Councilmember Cook stated the Traffic Committee has discussed these types of issues many times and offered copies of the minutes in order to help inform Ms. Hart. Mr. Rosales, 604 Aqua Mansa, Colton, thanked staff for removing a tree. John Mitchell, stated he is involved with the Youth Accountability Board. The Board gives kids a second chance and provides them with a contract to provide public service. Mr. Mitchell invited the Council to the meeting on Thursday. n AUG 1 5 1995
