Present:
City Council: Wanda Doyle. Frank Schuman, Shirley Sessions
City Manager Diane Schleicher, Chief Bryson TIPD, Chief Sasser TIFD, Joe Wilson DPW, Captain Jonathan Hagan TIPD, Lt Moseley TIPD, Detective Heckman TIPD
Approval of February 24, 2011 minutes – Unanimous
New Business:
l Stop Signs on 2nd Avenue at 7th and 13th Streets
Chief Bryson – Traffic Speed Survey was conducted in these areas (copy on file) no serious violations.
Wanda Doyle- Who is recommending taking down Stop Signs?
Diane Schleicher- Recommended by Bike Committee so bicyclist will not have frequent stops.
Diane Schleicher – There are more stop signs on Second than any other street and this being the bike path the committee took a hard look at the path and made this recommendation
Frank Schuman – Just as many if not more stop signs on Lovell
Bill Garbett – There should be some type of protocol for installing and removing traffic signs.
Shirley Sessions- There should be a procedure for traffic signs like the one used for speed bumps.
Frank Schuman – Since the Police Department had to borrow a traffic speed device to produce the traffic survey I would like to see the Tybee PD purchase one.
Diane Schleicher- The new fees added to court fines may be used for the purchase of a traffic speed device.
Captain Hagan - The traffic speed device may not qualify, a solar powered machine is approximately $7,000.00
Frank Schuman – Place traffic speed device on Butler
Chief Bryson – Traffic Speed Device may be placed on the roadway upon entering the Island.
Shirley Session – Motion to leave Stop Signs in place.
Frank Schuman – 2nd
Wanda Doyle – Yes
ll Special Events Permit:
Diane Schleicher- Presented a review of the Special Events Application with the changes marked in red:
(Copy on file)
Diane Schleicher – Barricaded Streets will be coordinated between the Police and Public Works Departments.
If there is an opening in the barricades do not put up signs to let pedestrians go through since this would encourage jay walking. Remove the rope line on the North side of Tybrisia
Street barricades only, barricades and rope on the South side of the Street.
Chief Bryson – The merchants on Tybrisia support the barricades for parades, there was a god meeting held earlier today with the merchants.
Joe –Wilson – Take rope down on both sides of Tybrisia Street.
Diane Schleicher- Use both Barricades and continuous rope line on the South side of Tybrisia Street
Chief Bryson - Agree
Shirley Sessions – Will the barricades and Ropes create any safety concerns?
Chief Bryson – No
Chief Sasser - No
Frank Schuman – Motion to take Special Events Application changes to City Council.
Shirley Session – 2nd
Wanda Doyle – Yes
Old Business:
l- Beach Bum Parade- Review Current Estimated City Costs (Police Coverage & Location & DPW Costs including Barricade Locations (and City Grant and Waived City Fees:
Wanda Doyle – Diane Schleicher, Jack Boylston met earlier to discuss the details:
(Copy on file)
Wanda Doyle- There must be a way to keep the parade moving, not let the floats stop. There was a suggestion to have Police Officers wear rain gear and drive the Arctic cats (4 Wheelers)
alongside the floats in order to keep the parade moving.
Chief Bryson – It is not the job of the Police Department to move a parade along but to provide public safety not to move floats.
Chief Bryson – Review of Police Department Officer Locations, Shifts and Street Closures: (copy on file)
Lt. Moseley – Discussion of Patrol Tactics, which will include stationary, walking and moving vehicles, refer to attachment giving the locations, shift times, number of officers etc.
Chief Bryson – Have strong Police Department presence well in advance of the start time of the parade.
Jack Boylston – We are trying to educate the public about safety concerns with the parade. There should be Police Officers riding in four wheelers alongside the floats.
Captain Hagan - The water will ruin equipment such as the radios.
Chief Bryson – There will be an additional 18 officers for 4 hours.
Wanda Doyle – What authority does the Sheriff’s Department have?
Chief Bryson – County wide authority.
Chief Sasser – The CERT Volunteers can be used to inspect the floats prior to the parade, if problems are found they could notify a Police Officer.
Jack Boylston – There will be two people at the gate to inspect all of the floats.
Jack Boylston – We will try to control the hoses run out onto the streets?
Shirley Sessions- How do you handle it?
Wanda Doyle – Place all of the rules of the parade in the registration form
Jack Boylston – The registration procedures are being advertised, there will be no day of event registration.
Joe Wilson – There will be barricades placed on Butler Avenue from the Sugar Shack to Tybrisia Street approximately 50 feet apart with no rope.
Jack Boylston – OK
Diane Schleicher- Barricades will also be used to close certain streets as determined by herself and Chief Bryson.
Wanda Doyle – is this cost effective?
Jack Boylston – OK, Thank Everyone it is good to be pro-active.
ll- Review Proposal for a Tybee Island Police Department Student Internship Program with Armstrong, Savannah State and South University
Chief Bryson – Good feedback, could be a year round program, one person from each school only schools that offer 4 year degrees are eligible.
Diane Schleicher – Do we need an agreement?
Chief Bryson – Already exists
Shirley Sessions – No authority to give tickets, no PD uniform?
Chief Bryson – Correct, to be used as observers only
Wanda Doyle – What is the next step?
Joe Wilson – Good idea
Wanda Doyle – Form a file for review by Diane Schleicher
Shirley Sessions – If this does not work out we can end the program
Wanda Doyle – Write job description and who they report to
To be presented at next Council Meeting.
lll Sidewalk / Path on 18th Street for Public Safety:
Wanda Doyle – Go with the sidewalk and not lose any parking spaces instead of removing the 6 parking spaces on one side of the road and making a walk-way.
Shirley Sessions – Property owners would lose parking if a path was made on one side of the road.
Diane Schleicher – Safety issue, a sidewalk could be paid for over a period of time no parking spaces would be lost. If a walk way was made on one side of the road 6 parking spaces would
be lost, by keeping these spaces they could help pay for the cost of the sidewalk over a period of time.
Joe Wilson – Sidewalk safer way to go.
Wanda Doyle - Sidewalk safer way to go no motion needed, further discussion at budget hearings
