CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AUGUST 4,1999 • and comment. In addition, the Police Department will be asked to provide information regarding any complaints received about the use of the property. OASIS/AMOCO PROJECT UPDATE, MARY KAY WYLAND This item was continued from the July 21, 1999, Council work session pending completion of site improvements outlined in the staff report. To date staff has not received the ponding survey information or the final lighting analysis. Some deflectors have been installed on the southerly light standards, however, there does not appear to be deflectors on the canopy lights. The primary issue is whether or not the City should allow a full-scale truck stop with overnight parking at this prime location within the Town Center. The Police Department and City Attorney have indicated that the Police Department cannot ticket individual truckers for parking on private property because the City Code does not contain such a prohibition. The only enforcement action available at this time is to revoke the CUP if parking continues in violation of the approved CUP conditions. There is no condition prohibiting parking at this time. Staff noted the property owners could be asked to modify the site plan to keep trucks on the freeway side of the property. Council directed staff to speak to the property owners regarding additional buffering on both sides of the parking lot, moving the trucks away from the residential area, and complete the lighting requirements. Staff will inform Council by Friday if it is possible to move the pied truck parking. Staff and the City Attorney will draft an ordinance research whether an ordinance can be drafted that prohibits overnight parking on private property. This item will appear on the agenda at the regular Council meeting Monday, August 9, 1999, 6:30 p.m. DISCUSS FUTURE DIRECTION OF CITIZENS ADVISORY GROUP (CAG) MAYOR SULLIVAN Staff distributed a letter from Mr. Jeff Reinert, Chair of the CAG. The letter outlines future plans for the CAG. The letter also outlines a procedure for contacting the citizens of the City and determining if they still feel that the City should continue the same direction that was determined by the 20/20 Vision survey five (5) years ago. Mr. Reinert will be asked to appear before the Council to speak about the purpose of the CAG, provide a perspective on the CAG's past reports and provide additional information as to where the CAG plans to go in the future.
