Senior Planner Elms left the meeting at 4:30 p.m. ITEM 5B – DISUSSION TO CLARIFY A TRAFFIC STUDY SURROUNDING THE NEW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL LOCATED ON PRAIRIE SPRINGS DRIVE BEHIND THE TARGET SHOPPING CENTER. Superintendent Tietjen explained how Aecom was the low bidder for a traffic study in this area, however, the company has failed to respond; the school district has contacted Ken Anderson to conduct the study, estimates the cost to be in the $6,000 - $7,000 range, Anderson does not think he can stretch the traffic study to cover the intersection of Cardoza Road and West I Street which is something that Public Works Director/City Engineer Mark Fachin has requested. Interim City Manager Brizzee explained how the City studied the intersection of Cardoza Road and West I Street and it did not meet the State warrants for a 4-way stop, once the new Junior High School is built the City can perform another traffic count to see if the intersection meets the warrants at that time. There was discussion regarding a possible sight issue when turning from Prairie Springs Road onto Badger Flat Road depending on how far out the fence surrounding the school is, there was also discussion regarding drivers using the Lowe’s parking lot to pick up and drop off children attending the school. Informational item only; no action. ADJOURNMENT. The meeting was adjourned at the hour of 4:40 p.m. SIGNED: / s / Jana R. Sousa, Assistant City Clerk
