TITLE
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 8167, AND CHANGING THE
STREET NAME OF OLD SMELTER ROAD TO GRUMA DRIVE
ISSUE
Should the City Council repeal Ordinance No. 8167 passed and approved on March 8,
2010 and change the name of the public roadway named Old Smelter Road to Gruma
Drive?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On March 8, 2010, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 8167 changing the name
of Old Smelter Road to Gruma Drive. The change in name was requested by Mission
Foods. However, at the time, there existed a mistaken belief that Old Smelter Road
was a private road until it crossed the railroad tracks where it turned into Clarence
Road, a public road. In fact, all of Old Smelter Road has served as a public roadway for
over twenty years. Old Smelter Road has been designated as a public roadway on all
city maps. The City has expended resources to maintain the road.
In reliance upon Ordinance No. 8167, Mission Foods has changed its stationery and
business documents to reflect its location on Gruma Drive. This Ordinance effects the
requested name change from Old Smelter Road to Gruma Drive, but recognizes that
the road has been and remains a public roadway.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
