City council agenda for Tuesday

Expect a long meeting on Tuesday for the city council. There's a lot to cover on the agenda.

The council will be considering the speed limit recommendations for Base Line Road. A new speed survey has been completed due to recent revisions in striping and median installation on the roadway.

Staff is recommending that the existing speed limits be retained on Base Line Road, with the exception of the segment between Indian Hill Boulevard and Towne Avenue, which will be raised to 45 mph. It will be necessary to raise the speed limit in that segment to comply with state law.

The council will consider a proposed Water Conservation Ordinance recommended by Metropolitan Water District. If adopted, the water conservation ordinance would identify restrictions, penalties and other provisions for private water use in the community.

Also on the agenda is a discussion over the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with Jamboree Housing Corporation. The development company has been identified to construct an affordable housing project at the old COURIER site on College Avenue.

The council will also discuss funding for Community Based Organizations and homeless programs. The regular meeting takes place on Tuesday, May 12 at the city council chamber beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Those interesting in parking issues around the Claremont Colleges should attend a study session by the council that will begin at 4 p.m. in the council chambers on Tuesday. Here's the link to a staff report.

Also, the council will meet Monday night in a joint session with the School Board to discuss a couple of items relevant to both the city and school district. See here for the agenda. That meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the new District office on San Jose.
