(City Council) REAFFIRM City Council Adoption on 4/16101 of Ordinance No. 3495
with..a New Effective Date of 5/30101 Amending Chapter 10.12 of the H.B. Municipal
Code Relating to Speed Limits on Various City Streets and Direct the Public
Works Commission to Reconsider Heil Avenue Speed Limit from Saybrook Lane
to Beach Boulevard (580.60)
Communication from the Director of Public Works and the Chief of Police regarding the
matter of the City Council's action on May 7, 2001 meeting to reconsider the
April 16, 2001 adoption of Ordinance No. 3495— An Ordinance of the City of Huntington
Beach Amending Chapter 10,12 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to
Speed Limits
Staff believes that the City Council intended to reconsider the speed limit on Heil Avenue
near Springdale Street in response to the concerns expressed by a citizen during the
Public Comments portion of the last Council meeting, rather than the speed limit
adjustment contained in Ordinance No. 3495 on Heil Avenue east of Beach Boulevard.
To this end it would be appropriate to reaffirm Ordinance No. 3495, direct the City's
Public Works Commission to reevaluate the speed limit on Heil Avenue from Saybrook
Lane to Beach Boulevard, and report these findings back to the City Council. Should the
City Council decide to arbitrarily reduce the speed limit on Heil Avenue, then radar
cannot be used for speed enforcement on that street segment.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
1. Reaffirm Ordinance No. 3495 which was previously requested for reconsideration,
with an effective date to be May 30, 2001 — "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington
Beach Amending Chapter 10.12 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to
Speed Limits,
[Approved 5-0-2 (Julien Houchen, Garofalo absent)]
and
2. Direct the Public Works Commission to reconsider the speed limit on Heil Avenue
from Saybrook Lane to Beach Boulevard, and present its recommendation to the City
Council.
