Member Cicha indicated the information states "more than fifty percent of owners on the street," would that mean fifty percent of parcels on the street or property owners. Mr. Freihammer indicated it would be per parcel, one vote per parcel. Chair Ficek asked if there should be a spot, replacing A, where the individuals would need to come to the City to talk about it first. He could see someone seeing this information, getting a bunch of signatures before coming to the City and then having the City tell them it will not work. He wondered if having them check in at the very front would be better to either tell the person there is no chance or to provide that guidance. A slight reordering of the information. Ms. Lowry indicated she was not sure where that would go because this is reviewed by the City Engineer first and then the City Engineer would take it to other agencies. Chair Ficek asked if the petition would include signatures. Ms. Lowry thought the last sentence under Item A could be moved up higher in paragraph, "Applicants are encouraged to contact the City Engineer to discuss the process prior to circulating a petition." Chair Ficek thought instead of "encouraged" it should read "Applicants need to contact the City Engineer..." Mr. Freihammer indicated staff could do that. Motion Member Mueller moved, Member Hodder seconded, to recommend staff to move forward to the City Council with changes as proposed and adding a process A to contact the City Engineer as the first step for the Street Naming Policy. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 8. Discuss Commission Scope Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer reviewed previous meeting discussion with the Commission. He noted there are some additional bullet points the Commission should discuss such as the number of meetings per year, number of Commissioners, etc. The Commission reviewed the proposed changes to the Scope, Duties and Functions. There were no additional changes. Page 5 of 8
