'1.0. Consideration of the traffic initiative petition.
Mayor Gatto announced to those present that in accordance w;,th the
City Attorney's advice, the intent of Council was to find the traffic
initiative petition to be not valid and therefore it would not be
placed on a ballot.
The Mayor requested City Attorney Kilian to give in general some of
the reasons for his recommendation. Mr. Kilian stated that in his
opinion the initiative petition attempts to delegate unlawfully power
to a private national board. Public streets are a matter of state-
wide eoncern. The state delegat~s some powers for regulation of public
streets to cities, but not to a private entity. ThE City Attorney felt
that this was not an appropriate measure for an initiative ballot.

Ray Shannon, 1157 Yorkshire Drive, speaking for proponents for the

that what he ~ planned to say '.las now IIOOt. Ba felt iJiät t!Ìê tié'SrIJI"
dation's options were legal aaion err another petition. i'a e'xpi'è'a
the opinion that the initisthe activity had demonstrated .:tìât ttaf"·'
Ïic is the number one concer~ in Cupertino and, that there was a
great deal of 3upport for t~~ ,etitfon. B. f.lt that the proposed
plans and policies in the General Plan Amendment presently being heard
were very much what the proponents of the initiative wanted. He
expressed concern that they were still not adopted and whether orftOt
they would stand the test of tiae. He stat~ t~..t~réasoD, ,foi the
petition was permanence. Be stated that he' w_ stlIf1Uterdielf·f6{., ,
the methods used in estaolishing traffic policies.
John Rakich, Vice President, West Cupertino Homeowners Association,
11835 Upland Way, requasted peraission:to ask,the.CityAttorney some
questions. He felt t~~t the state did not allow the elector to
control its own destiny if they could not control traffic. The City
Attorney informed hVA that there were certain things that were
municipal affairs, that street traffic was not a municipal affair, it
was a state function as all people can use public streets. The
state legislature delegates some of the powers of controlling streets
to local city cow~cils. In such an instance, a counc11 is acting as
an arm of the state. It was clarified that a statewide intiatitve
would be appropriate when considering control of streets.
Ken Kelly, 7483 DeLaFarge, told the Council that San Jose had adopted
"A';, "8". "c" and "D" standards. At one time San Jose had said they
would suspend such standards in the east valley and several residents
did sue San Jose for taking such action without notifying the people.
He aaked why the Council could not adopt those standards.
Mayor Gatto explained that the City could not delegate the estab-
lishing o~ standards of Cupertino streets and all of their ,uture
determin~tions of street standards to a private board.
Steven Rays, 22681 San Juan Road, told Council he saw no reason not
to a¿opt the initiative and standarde as stated. He felt that since
13% of the registered voters in Cuµertino had signed the petition,
they w~re demanding a thorough look at level of service on streets.
Mayor Gatto informed him that the Council and Planning Commission
have been examining the designa~ions and level of service on City
stre£ts and the Council has stated it wants to remove the commute
traffie from streets designated minor collectors.
