A, Strader, Deputy Attorney General, regarding speed limits in school zones. The letter states: "Section 511. 3 specifically provides that local authorities may increase the 25 miles per hour limit under certain circumstances by prov�iding a prima facie speed lirnit of 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 miles per hour except that such local authorities shall not increase the 25 miles per hour`'prima facie speed limit which is applicable in.ithe vicinity �f school buildings or grounds. Section 511. 3 further provides that local authorities may decrease the 55 miles per hour prima . !G� facie speed limit under certain conditions by providing for a prima : � facie speed limit of 50, 45, 40, 35, 30 or 25 miles per hour. It is : t our opinion that the language of this section does not authorize local . authorities to decrease the prima facie speed lixnit tfl less than 25 . miles per houre The fact that the prima facie speed limit near school buildirigs and grounds has been set by the Lebislature at 25 miles per hour and that such prima, facie speed limit cannot be changed by local auth- orities does not, of course, preclude a finding in particular instances that a speed of 25 mile•s per hour or even less is an unsafe speed near school buildings or grounds at certain times and under particular conditions.

Map attached to a letter from Peter W, Harker, Associate Right of Way Agent, indicated that a portion of this proposed road would be constructed over the northwest corner of City property, and it would be necessary for the City to make arrangements or enter into an agreement allowing the road to be constructed, � This request was referred to the Street Committee, for re�:ort and recommendation November 18th. , RESOLUTION - Transfer of Funds Rancho Parks Assessment Dist. .
