Unfinished Business:
Discussion was held on the back gate issues. The board has researched options for the traffic control devices to keep vehicles from entering or exiting the gate improperly. Discussion was held on expanding the curbing around the plant bed outside the gate. Eric Cepull noted the city would need to provide permission for the expanding of the curbing. A turnaround would need to be provided to allow non-residents to turn around. Alternate solutions of traffic stops and other traffic control devices were discussed. Mike Bono reported he met with the mason contractor for a quote to increase the plant bed size and a planter could be constructed for a cost of $8,000.
