Motion by Councilman Stauffer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to authorize the AFS members to number the home addresses on the curbs of the community and to solicit contributions from the residents. Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Haik reiterated her interest in having the semaphors at the intersection of Silver,Lane and Silver Lake Road timed so that the "Walk" signal is long enough to allow children to complete crossing the road before the turning signals are put into action. She said one of the Silver Oak School officials had recently admonished children for walking from school across Silver Lake Road rather than taking the school bus because he considered that particular crossing as especially hazardous. Councilman Stauffer agreed with her that children who live only 4 blocks from school should be able to safely walk to and from school rather than ride the bus. Mayor Miedtke wondered if all the semaphors throughout the state were set for the same cycle but the Manager said the computerized time cycle might differ for each signal. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Stauffer to adopt a resolution requesting that the timing for the green "Walk" signal at the intersection of Silver Lake Road with Silver Lane be extended to give children ample time to cross prior to the amber "Don't Walk" signal, and to gauge the "Left Turn" movements so it does not interfere with the "Walk" cycle. Copies of the resolution should be directed to the Ramsey County Engineer (Anklan) the Ramsey County Board of Commission- ers and the Minnesota Commissioner of Highways. RESOLUTION 76 - 047 A RESOLUTION REGARDING TIMING OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS LOCATED AT SILVER LAKE ROAD AND SILVER LANE Motion carried unanimously. Because of the difficulty of setting a date for the meeting of the Council and District #282 School Board to consider the transfer of the Community Services from the City to the school district, the Council agreed to scheduling the meeting for October 28th in spite of the fact that several of the Council members might be unable to attend. Time and place for the meeting will be determined by the Superintendent of Schools and the City Manager with the preliminary report from the task force established to study the shift to be presented to the Council October 26th. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Stauffer to authorize Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to place buried cables in the locations they have requested along 29th Avenue N.E. prior to the completion of that roadway.
