ORAL PRESENTATIONS
121466 - Richard Ennega, 1316 Mulberry Street, asked if the city is going to do anything
about the stuff buried at Dick's Auto Salvage. Mr. Ennega stated there is also
stuff buried on city property and Middleton's property. Mr. Ennega stated he
talked with Joe at the Department of Natural Resources who said they would not
do anything because they have no money unless the city digs a hole where the
Department of Natural Resources could actually see the stuff, and then they
would clean it up. Mr. Ennega stated if the city thinks he is lying about any
of this, he would swear to all of this under oath, and if he lied under oath he
would have to serve a penitentiary term.

Ken Elsberry, 509 West 8th Street, stated there is an ongoing problem in an area
where he lives, which is the first block off Washington Street. Mr. Elsberry
stated since the highway has been open there has been a problem with semis using
their jake brakes to slow down for the 9th Street stop. Mr. Elsberry stated
there is only one small sign that says not to use the jake brakes in that area,
and he feels we need more and bigger signs to stop this from happening. Mr.
Elsberry stated there is one small sign in the area of Park Avenue on the
highway, and they could put another sign on the other side or increase the size
because it gets pretty ridiculous in the middle of the night with the semis
using those brakes.
Councilperson Clark asked if the sign specifications are regulated by the state.
Sandie Greco, Superintendent of Traffic Operations, responded that the city
would need permission from the state to increase the size or add more signs.
Mayor Pro Tem Welper stated the city will look into this. Mr. Elsberry stated
it is happening all over town, even by Cadillac Lanes.
Gunderson/Schmitt
that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven.
Motion carried.
