CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 22, 2000 <br /> TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br /> FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director 12 <br /> S, <br /> SUBJECT: Informational Street Signs <br /> Background <br /> The Arden Hills Public Works Department occasionally receives requests for the <br /> installation of information type street signs. These would include Dead End, Curve, Deaf <br /> Child,No Turn Around (several tight cul-de-sacs have these) Playground, etc. <br /> Historically, the Public Works Director has brought these requests to the Operations and <br /> Finance Committee who review the requests and make a recommendation to the City <br /> Council who then may authorize the installation of a requested sign. <br /> The Operations and Finance Committee has determined that this process involves wasted <br /> time by Staff, City Council and the Operations and Finance Committee. <br /> Recommendation <br /> The Operations and Finance Committee recommends City Council authorize the Public <br /> Works Director, upon receiving a petition from 75% of the residents of the affected <br /> block, to have informational type signs placed, as requested, if the Director determines <br /> the sign is useful and appropriate. Signs not included in this recommendation would be <br /> the regulatory types of sign such as Stop, Speed Limit, No Parking, etc. <br />
