OTHER BUSINESS
Kenny introduced to the board Terri Rothert. She explained to the board her concerns about the
signage not being sufficient for the construction traffic that is coming through her neighbor for
the Roaming Hills addition. Not only was she concerned about the traffic but the fact that they
would go way too fast. She claims that they are continuing to use her street, Riley Hills Drive, to
get to the construction site. They were told by council when they approved the addition that
there was not to be any construction traffic allowed down that street. Captain Ponder explained
that when he and his other officers have been there for 2 hours or more at a time they have not
seen any construction traffic go through on that street. He also said that he wasn't saying that
this was not happening but he didn't have the resources to have an officer on site all the time.
Ms Rothert said that if signs could be put on the corner of Sol4'h and "U" and So14I' and Riley
Hills Drive it might help with the problem. She told the board that the signs that are in place
now have too much wording on them and because of where they are located by the time someone
sees them it is already too late they are already on the street. Besides relocating the signs she
feels that all they should say is "No Construction Traffic" The board told her that one of them
would go look at the signs that are there and look over the situation and see if there is anything
that can be done.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, on a motion duly made, seconded and passed unanimously. The
meeting was adjourned.
