The discussion highlighted the importance of improving traffic safety, with officials commending local law enforcement for their ongoing efforts to reduce accidents and fatalities on the streets.

In a separate agenda item, the council reviewed a lease agreement for the Merced Yosemite Regional Airport involving a private hangar. Council member Zhang raised questions regarding the application of previously paid rent as credit for the new lease. The discussion revealed that the current lessee, Holding Pattern, had encountered issues with water pressure for their fire suppression system, leading them to opt for a smaller hangar design.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote on the motion, reflecting a collaborative approach to addressing both community safety and economic concerns.
