Robertson indicated <br />that this was more than a safety issue that it dealt with the <br />parents being a role model for their children and teaching <br />their children safe methods for crossing streets, riding bikes <br />and driving vehicles. <br />Councilmember Trude stated that Park and Recreation was <br />conducting a safety camp next week and that perhaps the Police <br />Department could use the safety camp information in teaching <br />children about safety. <br />Mayor Linke indicated the stop signs will not help unless <br />the adults become mentors for children regarding safety <br />issues. Linke stated that stop signs can project a false <br />sense of security. Linke reaffirmed that he did not think <br />stop signs were the answer and that education regarding safety <br />is the issue. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Quick to Install the Stop Sign at <br />Ardan and Fairchild Avenues and Direct Staff to Research <br />Ways to Conduct a City-wide Adult and Children Safety Program <br />and Promotion Campaign on Safety <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated that she will vote for this <br />proposal, however, she stated that she felt it would make no <br />difference unless persons begin taking responsibility for <br />educating their children. <br />Council discussed the wording of the motion. <br />The motion was made to Install the Stop Sign at Ardan and <br />Fairchild Avenues and Initiate, Develop and Implement an <br />Adult/Child/Teen Safety Workshop to Promote Responsibility, <br />Accountability and Safety Awareness <br />Mayor Linke asked Councilmember Quick, who seconded the <br />motion, if he was in agreement with the new motion. <br />Councilmember Quick answered in the affirmative. <br />Mayor Linke reiterated that installation of stop signs was <br />not the answer to the problems and the safety education was <br />very important. <br />VOTE: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Motion Carried <br />
