<br />Mayor Gamec suggested the tax forfeit lands be purchased due to the low price and the possible <br />use for the City. <br /> <br />Chairperson Elvig noted the land could be used for greenspace. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to recommend to City Council to <br />purchase the tax forfeit land located on the northern boundary ofthe City adjacent to Burns <br />Township for drainage and utility purposes. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Absent: Councilmember Cook. <br /> <br />Case #7: Consider Placement of Pedestrian Crossing Sign at Potassium Street and <br />Sunwood Drive <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained the City has a sidewalk system that is not universal to all <br />streets. In fact, along Sunwood Drive between Nowthen Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard <br />there is only a single location, the intersection with Potassium Street, where the sidewalk system <br />requires the crossing of Sunwood Drive to continue travel along the sidewalk/trail system. Staff <br />believes this unique feature warrants the posting of a Pedestrian Crossing sign to warn motorists <br />that pedestrians crossing at this location are a more likely event than at other points along this <br />segment of roadway. State law requires that motorists yield to pedestrians in marked crosswalks <br />and this posting should provide an additional degree of protection to the trail system users. He <br />advised the cost associated with this signage is approximately $800, which would come from the <br />public works signs account. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Olson, to recommend to City Council <br />that a Pedestrian Crossing sign be posted at the intersection of Potassium Street and Sunwood <br />Drive. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Olson, Mayor Gamec and Councilmember Olson. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Cook. <br /> <br />Case #8: <br /> <br />Consider Storm Sewer Utility Improvement Projects <br /> <br />It was determined to discuss this case at the next Committee meeting due to time constraints. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />1) Cul-de-sac Mailboxes <br /> <br />Street Supervisor Reimer reported the removal of mailboxes from cul-de-sacs is complete. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/May 17,2005 <br />Page 11 of 12 <br />
