[5. Approval of Consent Agenda (to include minutes of previous meetings)]

[00:05:06]

IF WE COULD, MR BARNES IS OUT SICK TODAY. CAN WE TABLE THAT, PLEASE? AND THEN WE'LL GET BACK WITH YOU, MR COOPER. THANK YOU ON ON SOMETHING. SURE SO THAT MEANS WE WILL NOT SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT FOR ITEM F IS THAT CORRECT? MR MULLER? OKAY, GREAT. AND IT MAY BE THAT AS WE DISCUSS FURTHER AT SOME OTHER TIME, WE'LL PUT THIS BACK ON THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. OF THE DAY. ARE NOT THERE. NOW WITH THAT, MR BARNES HERE? NO, SIR. OKAY LETS GO. AND THANK YOU, MR MILLER. AND THANK YOU, MR MAYOR. LET'S GO TO J. IT. TALKS ABOUT? ELISE.

WITH SOLAR. AND I DID NOT SEE YOUR LEASE A PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT IN THE PACKET AND REALLY WONDER HOW WE CAN HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING. ON A LEASE WITHOUT HAVING THE TERMS OF THE LEASE IN FRONT OF US SO AT THINK THE ORDER OF THINGS LOGICALLY FROM OUR SIDE OF THE TABLE. IS THAT POLAND NEEDS TO BEFORE COMING WITH THE LEASE. AND THEN WE SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING ON

[00:10:08]

COUNCILMAN TYPICALLY IN, UM THIS TYPE OF SITUATION WILL GET A DRAFT. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING FANCY. JUST SOMETHING IDENTIFYING WHAT THE PROPOSING PARTY. IDENTIFIES AS AS POTENTIAL TERMS AND WE CAN BOIL IT DOWN INTO LEGAL LEASE ONCE WE HAVE THAT IN HAND, SO YEAH, THE POINT IS WELL TAKEN IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS WE WOULD ORDINARILY GO THROUGH. I DON'T THINK WE NEED COUNSEL TO DIRECT US. WE MANAGER AND I WILL WORK WITH THEM TO GET TO THAT POINT. AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THAT WE CAN BRING THIS ORDINANCE BACK TO COUNCIL. COUNCILS AND SO INCLINED MR MAYOR IN LIGHT OF THOSE COMMENTS BY THE CITY ATTORNEY, I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT OF FOR LAW AND THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CITY MANAGER WORKED TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH MAYBE THE BULLET POINTS AND THEN OF THE CONTENTS OF A LEASE AND PERHAPS EVEN THE LEAST ITSELF.

AS PROPOSED, AND THEN. AT OUR MAY WORK SESSION. WE SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR UH, OUR BUSINESS SESSION IN MAY IF THINGS ARE ON TRACK AND MATURED TO THE POINT OF HAVING SOMETHING SPECIFIC FOR US TO VOTE ON. AT OUR BUSINESS MEETING IN MAY. WOULD IF WE FOLLOWED THAT.

[00:15:02]

AND THEN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY WHO WHOSE CITIZENS USE THAT PART QUITE FREQUENTLY, AND IT'S RIGHT NEXT DOOR. AND THEN PETERSBURG. SO SORRY THE THREE JURISDICTIONS ARE INVOLVED WITH US AND COMMUNICATING WITH US AND WILLING TO BRING FUNDING TO THE PROJECT SUBSTANTIAL FUNDING TO THE PROJECT. AND SO THE IDEA IS THAT WITH YOUR, UH APPROVAL OF THE CONCEPT. WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PARTIES LOTS OF WORK AND THEN TIMING CONSTRAINTS. WE HAVE TO RAISE THE $500,000 BY THE END OF 2022. AND AGAIN, WE DO HAVE SOME COMMITMENTS THAT IF WE CAN WORK TOGETHER. THE THREE COMMUNITIES IN FULL ARE TO BRING THIS ABOUT. WE HAVE THE FUNDING . WE HAVE THE FRAMEWORK AND WE CAN COME BACK WITH A FULL FULL LEASE AGREEMENT. DOCUMENT AND OTHER UM. OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT OF COLLABORATION AGREEMENT. WELL, I DON'T SEE HOW. WHAT I'M SUGGESTING IS GOING TO SLOW THE PROCESS DOWN. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK. FOR PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE SPECIFIC LEASE PROPOSAL ANYWAY. SO THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD CONCLUDE THIS IN A DEFINITIVE WAY. ON APRIL, THE 19TH UM SO, UH, IF I MAY OTHER DEFINITIVENESS IS THAT YOU HAVE THE CONCEPT IN FRONT OF YOU. AND UH, AGREE TO WORK, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH US ON THE CONCEPT AND SEE IF WE CAN I DON'T WANT TO GET OKAY. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A QUICKSAND AND, WELL, YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN ONE STEP INTO THE QUICKSAND, SO YOU GOTTA TAKE A SECOND STEP. I'D LIKE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC PROPOSAL BEFORE , SO I THINK THAT'S THE BUSINESS LIKE WAY TO PROCEED. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY JUST ADVISED US WAS THE WAY HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT GO. ALSO.

SO, UM I HOPE THAT YOU WILL WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY IN THE CITY MANAGER. TO GET US SOMETHING SPECIFIC THAT WE CAN CONSIDER AT ALL MAY WORKS SESSION. FOR SCHEDULING AT ALL MADE BUSINESS SESSION. AND AS I SAY NONE OF MY COMMENTS OR INTENDED TO INDICATE A LACK OF FALL THROATED SUPPORT FOR FULLER. I THINK YOU'VE GOT A GREAT ORGANIZATION. BUT WE JUST NEED TO KNOW. WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO BEFORE WE START. GETTING INTO IT. MR MAYOR. THANK YOU. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NOT SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING ON, UM ITEM. FIVE J AT THIS TIME. OKAY.

UM NEXT, COUNCILMAN WILSON SMITH. THANK YOU TWO HAD TWO QUESTIONS. ONE IS ABOUT ITEM G.

OUR SCHEDULE. PUBLIC HEARINGS, SECOND READING AND CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND RE ADAPT SECTION. 2-31 OF THE PETERSBURG CITY CODE, UM , PERTAINING TO SALARIES OF CITY COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR. MY CONCERN, PROBABLY. IT'S MORE OF A CONCERN THAN A QUESTION. IT'S MENTIONED IN OUR CHARTER. WHEN WE DISCUSS SALARIES OF COUNCIL MEMBERS. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE SALARIES OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. UM AS WELL. SO SHOULD WE SHOULD THAT BE INCLUDED. IN THIS ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE. AND I DO NOT KNOW THE NUMBER, BUT I KNOW THE SCHOOL BOARD

[00:20:04]

ACCORDING TO WHAT'S IN THE CHARTER. SO ARE WE JUST GONNA LOOK AT COUNCIL ARE WE ALSO TO INCLUDE THE SCHOOL BOARD? MR WILLIAMS. THE ONLY THING CURRENTLY BEFORE COUNCIL IS COUNCIL SALARIES. I THINK WHEN COUNCIL WAS LOOKING TO EXPEDITE. PAY INCREASE A FEW YEARS BACK.

THE SCHOOL BOARD HAD INQUIRED ABOUT PIGGYBACKING ON THAT IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH, SO NOTHING HAPPENED OF IT, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD REGARDING THIS INQUIRY. UM I GUESS OF COUNCIL WAS INCLINED WE COULD REACH OUT TO THEM AND IF YOU WANTED TO AMEND IT TO ENCOMPASS THEIR SALARIES WE COULD. BUT AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY THING THAT'S IN FRONT OF COUNCIL IS THE CITY COUNCIL. UMW I READ IT. THAT OUR SALARIES.

ARE WITH THIN THE CHARTER ON THE SAME PAGE TOGETHER, AND I'M ASKING YOU CAN WE ACTUALLY ADDRESS JUST COUNCIL WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE SCHOOL BOARD AS WELL? YES, YOU CAN. THAT'S WHAT THIS CURRENTLY DOES JUST ADDRESSES THE CITY COUNCIL SALARIES, MAKING THEM CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM AND ITEM K. PROPOSED ALL FUNDS BUDGET. I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT WORDED THAT WAY IS THIS ARE OVER OPERATING BUDGET. THIS IS THE OKAY? WHY, UM. WHY ARE WE TRYING TO DO THIS? BY APRIL 19TH. ON APRIL 19TH. COUNCIL MEMBER. WE'RE FOLLOWING US.

WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT AMENDING OUR SCHEDULE WITH RESPECT TO THE C I P BUDGET AND THE OPERATIONAL BUDGET. BUT WE'RE WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS WHAT WE WERE FOLLOWING BEFORE I TOOK THE SEATS, MAN. OKAY SO THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ON THE 19TH. AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE NOT.

MR JORDAN, PLEASE. YES YES, MA'AM. WE'RE FOLLOWING THE BUDGET CALENDAR WAS ADOPTED. UM, SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO STAY IN LINE WITH THAT WE CAN AMEND IT IF WE NEED TO. UM OUR BUDGET HAS TO BE APPROVED. BY THE END OF JUNE. CORRECT AND WE STILL AND I HAVE NOT SEEN HAD THE HARD COPY OF THE PROPOSED BUDGET. IN MY HANDS YET AND YET WE WANT TO COME BACK ON THE 19TH. AND I DON'T SEE THAT. YES, MA'AM. THE HARD COPIES ARE COMING OUT NEXT WEEK. WE'LL HAVE THEM TO COUNSEL AS WELL AS WE'RE DOING TO COMMUNITY, UM, OUTREACH SESSIONS ON THE 13TH AND 14TH AS WELL TO GO. YES, MA'AM. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE NOT TRY TO DO THIS BY APRIL, 19TH. WE HAVE ALL OF MAY AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE ALL OF JUNE AS WELL. I THINK IT'S SAFER AND SMARTER TO TAKE OUR TIME TO DO IT CORRECTLY AND BE RIGHT WITH WHAT WE DO, AS OPPOSED TO PUSHING THIS THROUGH BY APRIL, 19TH COUNCIL WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT I'D LIKE TO NOT SUPPORT ITEM K. TONIGHT. UM.

COUNCILOR WILSON SMITH. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE DELAYS, BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AT LEAST HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND NOT MAKE A DECISION. CAN WE AT LEAST HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS? FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND WIN ON THE BUDGET. RIGHT MR MAYOR, IF I CAN NEXT WEEK AND THEN MR JOHN, CORRECT ME. I THINK IT'S THE 13TH AND 14TH. AND WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC HEARINGS WITH SOME INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS WITH THE PUBLIC. MRS WILLIAMS IS GOING TO BRING THEM OUT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR WEBPAGE. MR GORDON AIR. NEAR POWER MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS MAY AFFECT THE DATES, BUT WE HAVE A VIRGINIA CODE REQUIREMENT THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING DATES ARE PUT ON THE REASSESSMENT NOTICES. AND I PUT THE NOTE THE DATES ON THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME BY THE MANAGER'S OFFICE. UM AND I NEED TO LOOK THEM UP. I DON'T HAVE THEM COMMITTED TO MEMORY, BUT THEY WERE PUBLISHED ON THE REASSESSMENT NOTICES. SO JUST FOR WHATEVER REQUIREMENT. HAS TO BE FOLLOWED THROUGH IN THAT REGARD EXACTLY RIGHT TO AT LEAST HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING, OKAY? READY. ALRIGHT? VICE MAYOR SMITH LEE. MOTION IS TO OPPOSE.

IN THAT AREA OF THE 500 BLOCK OF WHAT'S WASHINGTON STREET IS GUARANTEE STREET WHERE WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL VEHICLE CRASHES WERE PROPERTY

[00:40:02]

SO COUNCILOR WILSON SMITH. YES YOU SAY 45 TOTAL. AND THE 500 BLOCK OF WEST WASHINGTON STREET.

BUT YOU WANT TO PUT THE STOP SANDS AT WASHINGTON AND PERRY IN YES, MA'AM, IF YOU COME DOWN WASHINGTON STREET, UM AT MARKET AND WASHINGTON TRAFFIC WHITE YOU DON'T HIT ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT UNTIL YOU GET TO WASHINGTON AND SOUTH THERE USED TO BE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION OF WASHINGTON AND PERRY, WHICH WE FEEL WILL HELP SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC GOING INTO THAT 500 BLOCK WHERE WE HAD THE CRASHES OCCUR. SO YOU WANT TO PUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BACK? YES, MA'AM. AND IN THE PAST BACK WHEN WE HAD BROWN AND WILLIAMSON, THERE WAS A LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION. I BELIEVE OF PERIOD WEST WASHINGTON. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. RIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, GREAT. GROVE AVENUE. THERE WERE 16 TRAFFIC SUMMONSES WRITTEN IN THAT AREA. EIGHT WERE IN THE GROVE AVENUE. SQUAD ALI AREA. CURRENTLY IN THAT AREA.

THERE HAVE BEEN STOP SCIENCE PLACE, CREATING A THREE WAY STOP IN THAT AREA. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OUR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS IN THAT AREA ARE LIGHT ARE AND ALSO DOING SOME CHECKPOINTS. QUESTION. YES, MA'AM. SO PRIOR. TO GROVE AVENUE, HAVING THE THREE WAY STOP WHAT DID THESE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION NOW. I CAN FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU. WELL IN YOUR OPINION HAS THE THREE WAY STOP. AND WORK IS IT DOES IT APPEAR TO BE WORKING. IT IS SLOWING TRAFFIC DOWN. YES, MA'AM. THANKS.

SOUTH PARK DRIVE. THERE WERE 12 TRAFFIC. SUMMERS IS WRITTEN. 10 AND THE SOFTWARE DRIVE FORCE HILLS AREA AND TO STOP PARK IN MIDLAND. OF THE 10 THAT WERE WRITTEN. THE MAJORITY OF THOSE WERE STUDENTS TRAVELING BACK AND FRONT FORWARD TO THE HIGH SCHOOL. UM WE PLAN ON CONTINUING OUR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THAT AREA. UM SLOWING THOSE KIDS DOWN SO THAT THEY DON'T GET HURT, GOING BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. THE NEXT AREA IS JEFFERSON STREET. THERE WERE FOUR TRAFFIC TICKETS WRITTEN. TO JEFFERSON AND WITH AND TO A JEFFERSON AND GRAHAM. WE ARE PROPOSING A. AH TRAFFIC STOP SIGNS IF THE INTERSECTION OF JEFFERSON AND FILLMORE CREATING A FOUR WAY UM , INTERSECTION. THEREFORE, WE STOP INSTRUCTION THERE. CURRENTLY THERE, STOP SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES OF FILLMORE, PLACING STOP SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES OF JEFFERSON CREATING BEFORE WE STOP. THE NEXT AREA IS MCKEEVER STREET AND ST ANDREWS STREET. WE'RE RECOMMENDING, AND THIS IS BASED ON TALKING WITH RESIDENCES IN THE AREA. THEY'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT LARGE TRUCKS COMING THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD ON MCKEEVER STREET. SO WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT PUBLIC WORKS PLACE ON NO LARGE TRUCK SIGNS IN THE AREA OF MINDY ST AND MCKEEVER TO ADVISE TRUCKS NOT TO ENTER THAT AREA. CURRENTLY AT THE INTERSECTION OF MEANING AND ST ANDREWS STREET. UM THERE, THERE'S A THREE WAY STOP ZONE THERE NOW. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTO, RIGHT BY THE BUILDING

[00:45:05]

TRUCKS THAT THEY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. ARE THESE TRUCKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORK ON THE BRIDGE? HAS THIS COMPLAINT BEEN GOING ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE DATE OF THE BRIDGE? UM DEDICATION. CHIEF MILLER AND I RECEIVED A COMPLAINT FROM THE CITIES AND WHEN WE MET WITH THAT CITIZEN UM, AND SHE SHOWED US WHERE TRUCKS HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH HER NEIGHBORHOOD, LARGE TRUCKS, TRANSFERRING TRUCKS TRYING TO FIND THE INTERSTATE. FOR SOME REASON, GPS IS TAKING THE TRUCKS FROM CREATE A ROAD THROUGH THERE TO GET BACK ONTO INTERSTATE 95 85. AND THE TRUCKS COMING THROUGH THAT AREA OF THE LINES ARE HANGING LOW. AND THE TRUCKS ARE CARRYING THEIR POWER LINES NOW AND THEIR TELEPHONE AND CABLE. COUNCILMAN COOPER I'M CERTAINLY SYMPATHETIC. TO WHAT WE'RE DOING. BUT WHAT'S THIS 18 WHEEL AGO? DO WHEN HE GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF MINKE STREET IN WANTS TO TURN RIGHT ONTO MCKEEVER STREET AND FINDS THAT HE CAN'T DO IT? SO WHERE IS HE GOING, SUGGESTING THAT THOSE SIGNS BE PLACED SOMEWHERE NEAR CREATE A ROAD ALERTING THE DRIVERS NOT TO EVEN TURN ONTO TWO MEDIAN AND GO THAT WAY. SO GOOD SO UP AT THE CORNER, MING JIAN IN CREATE A ROAD WOULD BE WHERE THE NO LARGE TRUCK SIGN. YEAH. OKAY AND THAT WOULD KEEP KEEP TRUCKS FROM GETTING TRAPPED DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. YES OKAY. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST WE CAN DO. YES, SIR. OKAY, COUNSELOR, WINSTON SMITH. IT JUST SEEMS ODD THAT THEY WOULD BE TURNING THEIR BECAUSE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A SIGN THAT SAID.

THAT IT WAS CLOSED OFF. SO FOR SOME REASON THAT THE CITIZENS SAYING THE TRUCKS ARE COMING THROUGH THERE AND SPEAKING WITH THEM, THEY'RE SAYING THAT GPS IS THE CAUSE. MORE QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, CHIEF, PLEASE PROCEED. YES, SIR. LIBERTY STREET. UH CURRENTLY THEY'RE STOP SIGNS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF HARRISON STREET AT THAT. THAT INTERSECTION. WE'RE PROPOSING TO COUNSEL THAT WE ALSO PLAY STOP SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES OF LIBERTY STORY CREATING A FOUR WAY STOP AT THAT HEARING SECTION. HOME WE HAVE DEPLOYED UNITS IN THAT AREA , UM AND REFERENCE TO COMPLAINTS OF SPEEDERS. AND WE HAVE GOTTEN ZERO SPEEDERS COMING THROUGH THAT AREA AT THIS TIME. SO WE FEEL RIGHT NOW THAT PLACING THE STOP SIGNS THEY'RE CREATING THAT FOUR WEEKS STOP WOULD BE A DETERRENT AND WOULD EASE SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS. RIGHT? COUNCILMAN WILSON SMITH, THE. DATA FOR LIBERTY STREET THAT THERE WAS NONE. UM JUST AS MCKEEVER STREET MCKEEVER STREET.

WE PLACED UNITS THERE AS WELL. AND THERE WAS NO UM TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH THEIR SPEEDING SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DATA TO LIST ON THE FORM. I DON'T. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. SO WHAT'S THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE FOUR WAY? STOP? AT LIBERTY. ON THE STREET LIVING IN HARRIS TO EASE THE CONCERNS OF THE CITIZENS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT ABOUT SPEEDERS. WE JUST HAVEN'T SEEN IT WITH OUR OWN EYES. NOW THERE'S A DEVICE THAT WE CAN PLACE THERE, TOO. TO COLLECT DATA TO SEE IF, IN FACT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING GOING ON. IT'S CALLED A STEALTH STAT. IT'S CURRENTLY ALL MCKEEVER. WE'RE MEASURING TRAFFIC THERE NOW TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. THERE WILL MOVE AT THIS WEEK. FROM THERE IT WAS PLACED ON MCKEEVER LAST THURSDAY. WE'LL MOVE IT THIS WEEK TO LIBERTY STREET, DO THE SAME THING. SEE WHAT'S GOING ON TRAFFIC WISE, AND IF THE DATA SUGGESTS THAT WE NEED TO BE THERE, THEY'RE DIFFERENT TIME RUNNING RADAR WILL DO THAT. BUT IT'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION RIGHT NOW TO PLACE THOSE STOP SIGNS IN THAT AREA TO HELP EASE THE CITIZENS CONCERN. SERVICE. THE. POLICE DEPARTMENT ONLY HAS THE ONES STILL YES, MA'AM. STEALTH STAT. STOP WHO STAT? GO STAT. YES, MA'AM, ONLY HAVE THE ONE APPARATUS APPARATUS. UM. WAS THERE, CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO STOP SIGNS VERSUS THOSE SPEED BUMPS. THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL THEM. UM WE ONLY RECOMMENDED THE STOP SIGNS. WE DID NOT CONSIDER THE SPEED BUMPS. ASKED. WHY NOT? I HADN'T THOUGHT OF. MR MAYOR. MADAM COUNCILWOMAN, MR MILLER, SPEAKING WITH CHIEF QUESTION, HIS CONCERN WAS DAMAGED VEHICLES AND NOISE WITH RESPECT TO THAT THE RUBBLE STRIPS THAT WE TALKED

[00:50:06]

SOME STREETS AND NOT ONE DONE ON LIBERTY STREET. UH, AND LIKE TO SUPPORT THIS, BUT I LIKE TO SUPPORT THINGS WHERE I CAN ACTUALLY SEE. YES, MA'AM. I'M SUPPORTING IT. UM. THE DATES ON THE FIRST ONE, YOU SAID STARTING IN JANUARY. HYDRATE AND 35 TICKETS AND JANUARY FROM JANUARY TO LAST TUESDAY ON SYCAMORE STREET ALONE. UM. FOR THIS PARTICULAR STREET. AND I'M WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE THERE. OTHER TRAFFIC SUMMONS WRITTEN FOR OTHER STREETS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THAT WAS JUST AS HIGH AS THESE WERE. THAT I DON'T KNOW THE STREETS THAT I'VE, UM SPOKEN , UM THIS EVENING ABOUT WHERE STREETS THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME TO PRESENT ON SO I'M NOT SURE THE OTHER STREETS HERE IN THE CITY. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW, I DID REQUEST NUMBERS PRIOR TO TONIGHT'S MEETING. UM THEY WERE NOT THIS HIGH. THEY REALLY? WE'RE VERY LOW COMPARED TO. BUT THE NUMBERS THAT I WAS GIVEN AT FIRST WERE VERY, VERY LOW. COMPARED TO WHAT I'M SEEING NOW. AND YOU KNOW WHAT TIME FRAME THAT WAS FOR? IT WAS FROM WHAT YOU GAVE ME. UM AND IT WAS FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT WAS SINCE THIS ALL CAME UP. WHEN IT FIRST CAME UP. I IMMEDIATELY ASKED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE NUMBERS. THE NUMBERS DID NOT LOOK LIKE THIS, UM. THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR THE TIME FRAME. SO NOW YOU'RE GOING BACK TO JANUARY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAD DONE AT FIRST BECAUSE I ASKED FOR THIS YEAR'S NUMBERS, SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE'S A BIG CHANGE. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE LOOK AT ESPECIALLY ON SYCAMORE STREET. UM. UP THERE BY THE PARK. A SPEED BUMP WITH. CERTAINLY SERVED BETTER GOING OVER FILM FROM FILLMORE STREET AND SYCAMORE STREET, BECAUSE AS OPPOSED TO A STOP SIGN. BUT HERE AGAIN, YOU'RE THE. THAT SURE POSITION YOU'RE THE TRAFFIC PERSON AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WOW.

ABOUT WHAT IT IS YOU SAY, BUT I DO JUST WONDER. WHAT ABOUT UM, CREATE A ROAD DO WE GET JUST AS MANY? TRAFFIC SUMMONS ON CRATER ROAD HAVE WE BOTHERED TO LOOK AT PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING THEY DID WE BOTHER TO COMPARE UM THAT THE STOP SIGNS AS OPPOSED TO THE SPEED BUMPS THAT WE LOOK AT ALL OF THAT BEFORE COMING TO THESE CONCLUSIONS. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY CHIEF QUESTION.

COUNSELOR WESTBROOK, CHIEF. TWO QUICK THINGS. UM I'M NEW TO COUNSELORS. YOU KNOW? YES ACQUIRING A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK WHEN THEY ACTUALLY REMOVED THE STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS OF FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO IN THAT STUDY WAS DONE. CAN I GET IT? BE PRIVY TO THAT INFORMATION JUST SO I CAN COMPARE WHAT THEY SAID BACK THEN AND WHAT HE WAS TAKING THEM DOWN. VERSUS I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND INFORMATION FOR YOU. OKAY APPRECIATE AND THE OTHER THING IS I'M ON THE LINE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WILSON SMITH . CAN WE LOOK AT OTHER CURB SPEAK, CURBING DEVICES OTHER THAN JUST STOP SIGN. YES, YES, WE CAN. MR MILLER. MR MAY HAVE ANOTHER QUESTIONS. AND I'LL BE OFF MY REPORT, SIR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHIEF WELCOME. VICE MAYOR SMITH LEE. UM FAMOUS. SHE CHIEF JOURNALIST. YOU ARE TO STUDY ON CUSTER STREET. NO MA'AM. YEAH. WE CAN ONE OF MY

[00:55:05]

UM WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. THE INTERSECTION OF JEFFERSON STREET AND EAST FILLMORE STREET. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. THE INTERSECTION OF ST ANDREWS STREET AND WEBSTER. WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. THE INTERSECTION OF CLAREMONT STREET AND BLAIR ROAD.

WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. INTERSECTION OF GRAHAM ROAD AND PINE RIDGE. WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT. INTERSECTION OF LIBERTY STREET. AND HARRISON. WE SPOKE ABOUT THAT CREATING THAT FOUR WAY STOP HIS OWN THERE. WEST CLARE DRIVING TALLY AVENUE. WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH IT.

CUSTER STREET AND HAWK STREET. UM, WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH COSTER AND HAMBLETON. WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH AND PATERSON IN AUGUSTA. WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH ALRIGHT, GREAT. UM AND WORKING, STARTING AT THE TOP OF THIS PROPOSED ACTION PLAN AND GOING DOWN IT WE TALKED ABOUT NUMBER ONE, REINSTALL THE STOPLIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST WASHINGTON AND PERRY. I THINK MAYBE THAT'S MAYBE WHERE YOU STARTED. THAT WAS SOMETHING WASHINGTON STREET SLIDE AND WE WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH PUTTING THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT BACK THERE, RIGHT. GREAT. AND I KNOW COUNCILMAN, UM MEYERS WILL BE PLEASED ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE HE. OBSERVES FIRSTHAND THE SPEEDING ON WEST WASHINGTON STREET. YES, SIR AND WAS MAD ADVOCATE FOR THIS. UM AND THEN. LET'S GO.

LOOK AT TO WHAT ABOUT WEST WITHIN PERRY? DID WE TALK ABOUT THAT? YES SIR. WE'RE ALSO IN AGREEMENT WITH PLACING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION. THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S GREAT.

OKAY, AND UM. THREE WAS SOUTH CRATER ROAD. IN WINDHAM AND. I WAS UNSURE ABOUT THAT MYSELF.

WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT SUBSTITUTE IN A STOP SIGN FOR STOP LIGHT RIGHT NOW. THERE'S A STOP LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION. WE WERE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH PLACING STOP SIGNS AT THAT LOCATION. IN THE PAST YEARS. UM THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES IN THAT AREA THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF LIFE. SO WE WOULD RECOMMEND KEEPING THE TRAFFIC ON SIGNAL THERE VERSUS PLACING STOP SIGNS . I'M FULLY FAMILIAR WITH ONE OF THOSE CRASHES HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. COUPLE OF TEENAGERS WERE NORTH BAILED ON CRATER ROAD. UM AND NO STOPLIGHT ALL STOPS ON BUT HAS SLOWED THEM DOWN. OKAY, UM. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RUMBLE STRIPS? HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT RUMBLE STRIPS ANYWHERE IN TOWN? I LIKE THE ONE. THE PROPOSAL ON ST ANDREWS STREET. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. AH AND ID. BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT RUMBLE STRIPS ANYWHERE ELSE IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE? WHERE BOTH SPEED AND AS A PROBLEM, BUT NOISE IS NOT AN ISSUE. I THINK THOSE WERE THE TWO CRITERIA THAT THAT LED TO THE CONCLUSION THAT RUMBLE STRIPS ON THAT. DOWNHILL. WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. IS THERE ANY OTHER PLACE IN TOWN WHERE YOU ARE RECOMMENDING RUMBLE STRIPS? WE DIDN'T LOOK AT THAT. BUT WE CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT. JUST JUST ASKING, UH, I WONDER. I HADN'T THOUGHT OF RUMBLE STRIPS UNTIL MR MILLER SUGGESTED IT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC LOCATION IN MIND. YES, SIR. WHAT ABOUT NUMBER FIVE. FIND STREETS BEFORE YOU GET TO THAT ONE. CAN I CHIME IN ON THAT THE RUMBLE STRIP? CHIEF. IS IT POSSIBLE? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THOSE RUMBLE STRIPS LIKE THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM AND WOODMAN, PURCHASING THEM. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SELECT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAVE? LIKE BERKELEY? MAN OH CURSE, AND WHERE ARE PEOPLE

[01:00:04]

I THINK THEY MAYBE THE RUMBLE STRIPS WERE SLOWING DOWN OR MR MAYOR. WHAT I'LL DO IS GET WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL GO BACK OUT THERE AND LOOK AGAIN, SIR. OKAY ALRIGHT. NEXT COUNSELOR COOPER. THE MAYOR HAS A GOOD POINT. MAYBE I MEAN, HE'S INTRODUCED A NEW IDEA, AND THAT IS UM, PAIRING. STOP SIGNS WITH RUMBLE STRIPS. AH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, REALLY. YOU KNOW, THE RUMBLE STRIP WILL BRING THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION. HEY, THERE'S A STOP SIGN COMING UP. UH, SO, UH, WE. WE DO HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF NOISE IT'S MADE.

BUT YES, THE CONCEPT WHERE NOISE IS NOT NOT YOU KNOW AN OBSTACLE LIKE THE CONCEPT OF PAIRING A STOP SIGN AND A RUMBLE STRIP. UM TELL ME THIS, MR MILLER, UM. WHERE WE GOING TO GO FROM HERE IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL COME BACK TO US WITH A COMPREHENSIVE SOMETHING ON PAPER. AH ITEMIZE IN OR MAYBE I'VE SEEN IT. MAYBE IT'S IN. BUT WE WERE GIVEN.
