He explained the concerns that had been expressed due to customers not being able to turn left into the Denny's lot from eastbound Garvey Avenue. He explained the anticipated traffic that will be generated in that area with the completion of the Towne Center and the Hilton hotel, the studies regarding traffic patterns, driveway and private road entrances and. exits, and the plan that was developed after several meetings to create the final traffic engineering plan. Alternate routes for entry into Denny's was discussed and an over- head display was shown to point out the traffic flow problems in the Towne Center. Staff recom- mended that no change be made in the median island at Garvey Avenue. Council discussed their concern about the loss of business to the Denny's restaurant, they felt that the heavy flow of traffic that is anticipated is not at the level at this time to create the problem along Garvey that may eventually occur. It was suggested that the second driveway by Denny's be opened for now because the stacking of traffic appears to be a long way off and the restaurant needs help now. In response to Councils' questions, Stanley Gribble, Towne Center developer, stated that the traffic flow at the center is not an ideal situation and he has never been satisfied with the access. He suggested an update of the traffic study. In response to Council, City Attorney Flandrick stated that based on the opinions given regarding possible accidents, there could be a serious problem to overcome in the event of an accident. Councilman White suggested that if the median is cut that perhaps Denny's would be willing to indemnify the City.

ROLL CALL: ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: NOES: MCNEILL, IZELL AND MAYOR KING GIBSON, WHITE ABSENT: NONE MOTION APPROVED David Kramer, Public Affairs Fellow, Coro Foundation, stated that a survey had been done and that more than two dozen cities in California were found that currently employ multi-year budgets. Biennial budgeting saves time for staff and aides in long term planning for Council. He explained the built in mechanisms that can ensure flexibility of the budget, and a few of the problems that can arise through the multi-year budgeting. At the request of Council, City Manager Webb explained that a multi-year budget is beneficial to staff and the Council by reducing the time required to prepare the budget and alowing the Council to look further forward. This is a trend that is developing in government and would be benficial to the organization. He also stated that a multi-year budget would have been beneficial in regards to the loss of revenue sharing, because the City could have done more advance planning. It was moved and seconded to authorize staff to proceed with a two-year operating budget. M/S/C; WHITE/MCNEILL. There were no objections.
