Case #3: Review City Policy Regarding Neighborhood Speeding and Posting of <br />Children at Play Signs <br />Background: <br />One of more frequent requests that staff receives is for the posting of a Children at Play sign in a <br />neighborhood where speeding has been identified as a problem. Staff has two suggestions to <br />better address speed concerns within a neighborhood. Setting out speed trailers serves to signal <br />motorists that there is a neighborhood speed concern. The other option is for a neighborhood <br />with speed concerns to assist the police department with the few individual drivers whose speed <br />greatly exceeds the limit. <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council make no change in existing policy for not posting <br />Children at play signs. <br />Action: <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br />Case #4: Discuss Use of Plastic Pipe for Water Service Lines <br />Background: <br />A local builder has requested on numerous occasions that staff allow the use of polyethylene <br />(PE) pipe for water services to residential homes in the City. <br />The Committee discussed the pros and cons of the plastic pipes. <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council to continue with the existing City policy for copper <br />service pipes only on the outside of structures and to direct staff to keep looking at new systems <br />if there is a solution to locating and thawing them. <br />Action: <br />Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br />There was none <br />Reviewed by: f~ <br />City Administrator: `-~ <br />Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br />Street Supervisor <br />CC: 06/08/10 <br />
