City <br />Administrator Zikmund stated he would correct this error. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller commented on several other grammatical errors in the Resolution. She requested <br />the second bullet point of Item 3 on Page 2 that states residents would have to pay for the <br />installation of signs be removed from the Resolution. She believed that residents should not be <br />responsible for this expense due to the fact they already pay property taxes. City Administrator <br />Zikmund commented the way the language reads, the cost for the signs would be covered by the <br />City, but all other traffic calming measures would be the responsibility of the resident. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron agreed the cost for signs should be covered by the City. He discussed <br />how the expense of signs and the socio-economic status of different neighborhoods could hinder <br />some residents from pursuing traffic signs. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause supported the bullet point on Page 3 being redrafted. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Bergeron.
