CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES OF OCTOBER 9, 1996 29'~ <br />Mayor Gehrz convened the meeting at 7:43 p.m. <br />PRESENT <br />Gehrz, Gibson Talbot, Jacobs, and Kuettel. Also present were Hoyt and Asleson. <br />ABSENT <br />Hustad. <br />COMMUNITY FORUM <br />Melvin Kuhens, 1747 Holton Street, requested that the city council designate the area <br />around Falcon Heights Elementary School as an official "school zone" and address the <br />speeding problem in the area. <br />MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 25, 1996 <br />Minutes were approved by unanimous consent. <br />CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED <br />Motion was made by Councilmember Gibson Talbot to approve the following consent <br />agenda. Motion passed unanimously. <br />1. Disbursements <br />2. Licenses <br />3. Approval of election judges <br />POLICY AGENDA <br />REQUEST FOR PLACEMENT OF CROSSWALKS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF <br />HOLTON STREET AND GARDEN AVENUE <br />Administrator Hoyt reported that a request has been received to place crosswalks at <br />Holton and Garden Avenues to facilitate school crossing in the area. The city engineer <br />recommends limiting crosswalks since they become ignored when there are too many <br />in the area. However, since this request is near a school, a clearly delineated crosswalk <br />complementing the school's crossing pattern makes some sense. <br />Melvin Kuhens, 1747 Holton Street, requested that the crosswalk be placed on the west <br />side of the Garden/Holton intersection and to mark the streets along the edge to mark <br />where the children walk to school. In addition, he asked for more enforcement of the <br />four way stop signs already in place in the area. <br />Jim Atherton, 1847 Simpson Street, asked for more enforcement of stop signs and for <br />the addition of crosswalks. <br />
