1 1 COUNCIL MEETING 41 July 8, 1985 Page Two Mayor Benson said this shows what can happen when the City initiates programs and works with other entities to support reduction in taxes. Since this particular tax reduction required legislative action, it took some time but it does show what working together can accomplish. He suggested that Mr. Schumacher write a letter to Centennial School District praising them for this accomplishment and telling them we were pleased to work with them and will continue to do so in the future. He also suggested sending a letter to District #831 asking them if they would like to get together to see if there is anything this Council can do to help District #831 in Lino Lakes. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to adopt Mayor Benson's suggestions. Mr. Mar - ier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTORS RECOMMENDATIONS ON "CHILDREN AT PLAY" SIGNS Mr. Volk had included in Council packets his recommendations for "Children at Play" signs; Official Rulings on Requests, U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation; information from MN /DOT - Office of State Aid and further information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Southern California Section. All these agencies do not recommend posting these signs. However, Mr. Volk is recommending that this Council select an area and do a small survey as outlined in his memorandum and then decide if it would be beneficial to place these signs in other areas of the City. Mr. Volk suggested doing the survey in the Arena Acres since this is the most recent area to re- quest such signs. The survey would be completed before the fall months. Mr. Reinert suggested the survey be completed unannounced and descretely to get the most valid readings. Mr. Marier asked if this would meet the requests of the citizens of that area for the present time. Mr. Volk said yes. The Council will have to decide if they wish to keep the signs posted after . the survey period. Mr. Marier moved that the area be signed at the descretion of the Chief of Police and the Public Works Director. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PARK BOARD REPORT A.
