BCPD: Officer Gorman said police are stopping unlicensed vehicles and having
inoperative ones towed. Residents complained that the stop signs were being ignored
at Sherman and Orchard and the Union, Wagner Dr intersection. JP would like to see
the crosswalks painted or a type of speed bump to make drivers more aware of the
need to stop. Todd replied that it would entail a traffic study.
Code: Jerrod passed around the property survey report. They will continue to be
working in the neighborhoods of our npc. Branch pickup from the ice storm by the city
has been completed on the N side of town. Todd said to call if there is more to pick
up. (9663507)

concerns and suggestions for city parks and recreation activities. Putting together a
new 5-year plan. Todd reported that maintenance should improve with the addition of
four full time employees.
BCPS: Chandra passed out flyers on the progress report for the public schools
