ramp received no complaints last year and no objections have been heard yet this <br /> year. <br /> Motion made by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member <br /> Broussard Vickers to approve the ramp request for the Bald Eagle Water Ski <br /> Club. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 73 Street Stop Sign Request <br /> Corporal Jensen stated several speed samplings were completed in and around <br /> 73 Street and the results have been forwarded to the City. He noted the results <br /> showed normal speeds within the area sampled. He explained a hand held radar <br /> could also be used for this area to determine the severity of the high -speed traffic <br /> in the area. Corporal Jensen indicated that a crime watch project has proven <br /> successful in the City of White Bear Lake for clocking speeding vehicles and <br /> sending letters to those speeding as a warning. <br /> Liz Larson, 1882 -73r Street, stated she would rather see the City place a stop sign <br /> in this area than to take on the expense of a hand held radar and staff time for <br /> warning letters. <br /> Mayor Wilharber asked how residents would place themselves for clocking of <br /> vehicles and expressed concern for the safety of the residents taking on this task. <br /> Corporal Jensen stated in the City of White Bear Lake, residents sit in lawn chairs <br /> on local sidewalks. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if a neighborhood watch committee <br /> could issue citations. Corporal Jensen stated residents are not allowed to issue <br /> citations but a resident could file a complaint with the police station and a <br /> summons could be issued for extreme cases. <br /> Council Member Travis stated there is a large number of children in the area and <br /> asked if the speed could be reduced if a stop sign was not approved. Corporal <br /> Jensen stated the neighbors could be polled to see if a speed change would be <br /> warranted and observed by residents. <br /> Ms. Larson asked for the speed limit in a school zone. Corporal Jensen stated this <br /> was 25 miles r hour and the City has control over the jurisdiction of the <br /> Pe Y jurisdiction <br /> and could lower the speed. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the police department objected to the <br /> additional stop sign. Council Member Sweeney stated in his neighborhood many <br /> residents do not observe close stop signs. He explained that it slows them down <br /> on Brian Way but gives a false sense of security for the residents on the street. <br /> Corporal Jensen agreed with these statements but added that he would not object <br /> to an additional stop sign. He stated that 90% of those not observing the stop sign <br /> on Brian Way are local residents. <br /> Council Member Nelson explained she was interested in the hand held radar <br /> watch to be done through the neighborhood watch. <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br />
