W. Richard, Roger Barrow and Al Forgit, had not been presented. The Clerk read said letter which states, in part, that the sum of $50,000 would be placed in escrow not later than August 26, 11to be used by the city as matching funds, for the purpose of the acquisition of the so- called "Y" property of the P. E. Railway Company line, in the area between Newport Blvd., and Balboa Blvd., and between 30th and 32nd. Streets, of the city of Newport Beach, California;" said money to be paid to the City, as and when the City is obligated to pay for the acquisition of said property, or for the purpose of making a deposit in a proceeding in eminent domain. A discussion was had. The question was raised as to the meaning in this instance of "matching funds." It was agreed that said term would have to be clarified when and if action is taken. It was brought out that the City con- templated the employment of D. Jackson Faustman, consulting traffic engineer of Sacramento, to determine the need and justification of a new street, or improvement of existing streets, in the area bounded by 30th Street, 32d Street, Balboa Boulevard and Newport Boulevard. On motion of Councilman Hart, seconded by Councilman Wilder and carried, it was agreed that no action would be taken at this time regarding the acquisition of the Pacific Electric "Y" property pending the results of the proposed traffic survey indicating the advisability of what should be done in the area involved.

In said letter Mr. Faustman proposes to consider, through surveys and studies, "the general problem of the possibility of utilization by the City of the Pacific Electric right - of -way, bounded by 30th Street, 32nd Street, Balboa Boulevard and Newport Boulevard;" and Mr. Faustman proposes to present a plan for the Balboa - Newport interesection including McFadden Place and those portions of Newport and Balboa Boulevards lying south of the Pacific Electric property described above; the total cost of said surveys would be $1600. A further discussion was had and Councilman Wilder stated that the merchants' offer of the "matching funds" in this matter seems to be a generous offer and substantial evidence of concern regarding parking facilities. In answer to an inquiry as to whether or not the merchants proposed to improve any portion of the "Y" property that remains, if acquired by the City for street purposes, Mr. Ben Reddick stated that the merchants would contribute both to land acquisition and improvement of the property for parking purposes, and in additional amounts, if necessary. It was brought out that the primary responsibility of the City is to provide for traffic flow and not off - street parking. Mr. Leslie Peterson spoke from the audience in regard to this matter. On motion of Councilman Hart, seconded by Councilman Wilder and carried, the employment of D. Jackson Faustman as consulting traffic engineer was authorized and the transfer of $1600 from the Parking Fund Surplus to Parking Meters and Lots budget, was authorized, to pay for the services of Mr. Faustman.
