Chairperson Riley commented that he feels strongly that the City should do what was originally approved on the development plan for the wall. He did not believe they should extend past that point. 5.01: Review Nonconforming Traffic Sign Policy Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report and recommendation to continue the practice of following the MUTCD and not install what are considered nonconforming traffic signs. Councilmember Musgrove appreciated the work that staff has put into this research. She stated that she does not support changing the policy to install additional signs based on the information in the case. Chairperson Riley asked if the requesting resident has been provided with this information as well. Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed that the resident was sent this information as well. He stated that if this door were opened, this type of signage could be requested for every block in the city. Councilmember Musgrove commented that in 2010 the signs were $200 and asked the cost today. Public Works Superintendent Riemer estimated about $250 per sign. Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to continue the practice of following the MUTCD and not install what are considered nonconforming traffic signs. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Woestehoff and Musgrove. Voting No: None. 5.03: Tennis Court Maintenance; River's Bend, Fox, and Central Parks Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the staff report and recommendation to proceed with the reconditioning of the courts at River's Bend and Fox Park as soon as practicable and also proceed with paint -caulking approximately 950 feet of cracks (three colors) at Central Park this spring as well. Chairperson Riley recognized that River's Bend and Central Park get a lot of use. He asked for details on the usage of Fox Park and whether that should be considered for removal. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood replied that part of the approved strategic plan included developing a plan to address the infrastructure. He noted that all courts would be evaluated for use in 2031. He noted that the court is used semi -regularly and there is a basketball hoop as well. He stated that staff believes that this investment is warranted and that it could be evaluated in the future for use. Public Works Committee / May 17, 2022 Page 4 of 10
