Approve 1992/1993 Hazard Elimination Safety Flasher Projects
July 27, 1993
Page 2
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The Projects involve the installation of Hazard Elimination Safety funded Advance Warning Flashers at
four separate locations in the County. The flashers will provide warning of hazards which motorists
should approach at a reduced speed.
The Projects have been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan and are exempt from
CEQA because they will not have a significant effect on the environment and the installation of warning
flashers will not result in the removal of a scenic resource.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the Projects will result in continued hazards to motorists and the loss of 90%
funding reimbursement from Hazard Elimination Safety Funds which must be expended by December,
1993. No other funding would be available for these Projects until the next application period.
