She will be a new Public Safety Commissioner as of <br />April 1" so she is attending tonight's meeting to observe and meet everyone. She will be <br />unable to attend April's meeting due to a prior commitment. <br />Call to Order/Roll Call <br />Commissioner Kerns called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm and roll call was taken. <br />• February Meeting Minutes <br />The February meeting minutes were reviewed. Commissioner Bredenbeck motioned to <br />accept the minutes; Commissioner Woods seconded. Motion carried. <br />Public Hearing/Presentations <br />Public Works Director Grant Wyffels began by going over the information in his March <br />23`a Council report. He noted that on 7th Street NW, which is the road in front of <br />Highview Middle School, they will be doing a mill and overlay so it would make sense to <br />install crosswalk lights now when that project is being done. <br />School Resource Officer Ed Sypniewski reported receiving more complaints from parents <br />this year than previous years. He sees this as a problem and believes flashing crosswalk <br />signs will be helpful. He noted that speeds are always a problem due to the hill on 7h <br />Street NW. <br />Director Wyffels reviewed an example policy for Pedestrian Crossings which contained <br />warrants for mid -block crossings. He felt these warrants were met. He noted on page 12, <br />#4, this policy recommends flashing yellow lights that are activated by pedestrians. <br />0 <br />
