City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 26, 1996 Page 8 I Mr. Martin stated he felt the no right turn proposal would push the problem into the 2 residential area. He felt there was already enough traffic in that area. 3 Mayor Ranallo explained the City had no control if the school wished to place a sign on 4 their property eliminating a right hand turn and the City would be required to enforce the 5 restriction. 6 Marks suggested the south side be signed as no stopping and letting students out in this 7 area. He noted however,that this would be more difficult,to enforce. 8 Mayor Ranallo asked Mr. Rolek if he would be comfortable with attempting signage that 9 would prevent parents from dropping their children on the south side but would still 10 allow residents to park there themselves. Mr. Rolek stated he would be willing to try this solution for a period of time.

This could then be evaluated on 22 March 1, 1997 to determine the effects. 23 Mr. Lilienthal suggested a notice also be sent to the parents to educate them of the 24 dangers. 25 Mayor Ranallo noted the Police Department would also be requested to help enforce the 26 signage. 27 Faust suggested the north side of 3 3rd Avenue be signed as a 10 minute loading zone to 28 encourage parents to park on the north side to drop off and pick up students. This could 29 then be evaluated on March 1, 1997. 30 Morrison suggested the evaluation period be extended to the end of the school year. He 31 noted that different seasons have an effect on the traffic situation. 32 There was Council consensus to amend the resolution to read:
