<br />City of Centerville <br />November 13,2002 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would agree to the "dead end" sign on Meadow <br />Court as the cul-de-sac should be posted. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Swedberl!, seconded by Council Member Nelson to approve the <br />"dead end" sien on Meadow Court as requested. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Swedbere, seconded by Council Member Travis to approve the <br />"slow, children at play" sien as requested on Meadow Lane at both ends. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson indicated she would like the sign wording to be brief because <br />there is not time to read many words when passing the sign. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated that Staff would determine the appropriate signage to be used <br />based on the universal standard. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she was concerned that the City has no <br />recommendation from the police department and there is information from another City <br />indicating that it may not be a good idea to add these types of signs. She then said she <br />would like to hear what the police chief has to say as well as obtain information on the <br />costs of adding the signs in many other parts of town. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she would like to have the request reviewed by the <br />Police Chief. She then said that she realizes the importance of getting people to slow <br />down but she is not sure that the signs would improve the situation and the City would be <br />faced with adding signs every time one is requested. <br /> <br />Mrs. Paar indicated that the police patrol the neighborhood quite a bit. She then <br />explained that she wants people to know that there are a lot of children in the <br />development. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked why residents are speeding III their own <br />neighborhood if they are aware of the number of children. <br /> <br />Mrs. Paar indicated that residents of the area do not speed, it is the cut through traffic <br />from Eagle Pass to CentervilIe Road. She then said that she hopes the sign will get more <br />people to slow down before a kid gets hurt. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes - 3, Nays - 2(Broussard Vickers/Capra).
