4. TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
When requests for traffic signs are requested, the following procedure is used:
1. A resident fills out a request
2. The request goes to City Engineer Lee Mann for review and warrants
3. If warrants are met, a recommendation is forwarded to Council
4. If warrants are not met, a rejection/denial letter is sent to the resident. The
resident may protest the outcome.
Approximately 2-3 requests are received a week for all types of signage, especially
during the summer.
Council discussed the membership of the committee. It was decided to have 1 Planning
Commission member and 4 citizens.
After consideration of all the issues, it was determined that City Engineer Mann would,
as a matter of procedure, personally meet with residents requesting stop signs in order to
facilitate education of the public on traffic control issues. The results of this new
procedure will be monitored to determine its effectiveness. A report should be brought
back to Council at the December 3,2001 Council Meeting.
