Page 3 <br />City Council Minutes <br />May 25, 1994 <br />Administrator Hoyt said that some other enforcement measures <br />might need to be considered at this time. <br />Engineer Maurer reported that the State is now allowing certain <br />residential streets to be posted at 25 m.p.h. This may not help, <br />since perceived "speeding" is usually just acceleration. Traffic <br />counter cables can track speeds but do not display it to drivers. <br />Mayor Baldwin suggested that these counters be set up to <br />determine how bad the speeding problem really is. The Council <br />agreed that lines should be set up in two locations and that the <br />city should continue to encourage neighborhood watch groups to <br />notify police with the license numbers of speeders. <br />Administrator Hoyt commented that notices would be mailed to <br />block captains once information on the speeding situation has <br />been compiled. <br />Councilmember Gehrz left the meeting at 8:45 p.m. <br />DISCUSSION REGARDING LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES COMMITTEES AND <br />ANNUAL CONFERENCE <br />The Mayor and Council were asked by Administrator Hoyt to <br />consider serving on several committees established by the League <br />of Minnesota cities.

Although Falcon Heights will not receive <br />funds every year, a grant was received in 1993 to demolish a <br />blighted home on Larpenteur Avenue. Administrator Hoyt also <br />recommended that the process for the awarding of these grants be <br />substantially revised. <br />Motion by Councilmember Jacobs to authorize the City of Falcon <br />Heights to participate in the Ramsey County CDBG and HOME <br />program. Motion passed unanimously. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Councilmember Hustad reported that the citywide garage sale on <br />May 21st had been a great success.
