Council members described significant congestion during drop-off and pickup times and expressed concern that the current pattern could impede emergency access to the nearby hospital. Suggestions at the meeting included building a connector road behind the school gym that would route traffic to a different exit point (possibly toward a local church) and exploring north- or south-side circulation changes for parents and buses.

Council members asked staff—including the city engineer and police—to meet with district representatives and to cost a traffic study to develop options. The council noted potential partners in the county and school district for cost-sharing if a study or construction is recommended.

Staff explained that LIDAR units, which police point directly at a single vehicle to obtain an accurate speed reading, are more precise than traditional radar when multiple vehicles are present. Councilors asked for clarification; staff said the purchase is grant-eligible and will be fully reimbursed.

Staff noted that last year’s alcohol-enforcement fund balance was about $1,919,000 (transcript wording) and must be spent on traffic and alcohol-enforcement equipment or similar programs; the council discussed that this purchase fits the grant criteria. Staff said the allocation would buy multiple LIDAR units (the presenter referenced purchasing four units) and that the equipment is more expensive than earlier generations.

Councilors voted to approve the financials and expenditures; the motion passed without recorded opposition in the meeting audio.","The Roosevelt City Council approved the month's financials and an expenditure to purchase LIDAR speed-enforcement units using last year’s alcohol grant funds.

Council members said the project is expected to be privately funded and built by volunteers but needs the city’s permission and state land approval before work begins.

Project organizers described a two-sided, cutout silhouette mounted on a concrete pedestal of roughly three feet, with lighting to illuminate the figure at night. The concept discussed at the meeting approximated a final height around 12 feet; councilors requested cardboard mockups and a simplified design to test visibility and wind/load resilience before final fabrication. Councilors authorized the interfaith committee and the appointed council representative(s) to finalize the design if the state grants the land transfer; the motion passed unanimously.

In public comment related to parks, a resident raised concerns with a new 6-foot windscreen installed at the courthouse-area courts (now used for pickleball). The resident said pickleball players asked for lower screening so playground users can still view play; city staff suggested the parks and recreation committee and the pickleball group coordinate at their regular meeting (third Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Innovation Hub) to decide whether to reduce the screen to 4 feet.

Council members also received updates on other parks and recreation projects: the city expects the new gun range gate and equipment to arrive in about two to three weeks and hopes for an April soft opening; the archery event is scheduled for May; and Interfaith’s preparedness fair will be held Saturday at Crossroads from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. A community cleanup was set for the 26th of the month (date provided as “20 sixth” in transcript wording). Councilors asked organizers to provide mockups and coordinate parking and pedestrian access for the Flag Hill site.

Councilors praised volunteer interest for the memorial and emphasized safety, parking and design simplicity in final decisions.","The Roosevelt City Council gave conditional approval to a community-led silhouette memorial near the city flagpole, subject to state approval of the land.

City staff said a recent update changed prior counts: cases previously listed as closed rose from 49 to 71 after record updates. At the time of the report the staff listed 43 open code-enforcement cases and one new case scheduled for follow-up later in the week. On specific categories, staff reported roughly 32 closed and 27 in-progress weed-and-debris cases (with one new item), about 41 closed and 10 in-progress residential area issues, and other miscellaneous cases in smaller numbers. Commercial category closures were minimal, and animal-control items such as barking dogs were categorized as nuisance complaints with four cases in progress.

Staff described the enforcement approach as largely letter-first. Councilors and staff said informing property owners and working with them to secure cleanup has produced compliance in many cases; one council member told the meeting a resident texted that she had hired someone to clean the yard after receiving a letter. Staff noted coordination with new RV and sanitation programs as part of the cleanup efforts.

Councilors asked whether noise and roosters fall under nuisance; staff confirmed most such issues are handled under the nuisance ordinance. Council members praised the code-enforcement team's outreach and requested continued coordination between code staff and police for situations involving public safety.

No formal votes were required for the report; councilors thanked staff for the work and asked for ongoing updates.","City staff reported enforcement activity and case counts to the Roosevelt City Council, noting weed-and-debris complaints as the largest category and newly tracked animal-control (barking/rooster) complaints.

Council members said the fee is intended to reduce a cost barrier that may keep owners from having cats spayed and vaccinated. Shelter staff said they can acquire the vaccine for roughly $9–$10 and proposed a $15 charge so the public has access while the shelter recoups a small portion of cost.

Shelter staff presented operational figures to the council to accompany the fee proposal. The shelter reported approximately 1,098 animals came into the facility last year, including about 464 dogs and 608 cats; a small number were listed as “other” species. Staff said about 48% of intakes came from within Roosevelt city limits and about 52% came from county jurisdictions (transcript wording). The shelter reported a reclaim rate that rose from about 18% in 2023 to about 57% in 2024 and an adoption rate that increased roughly 5 percentage points year over year. Overall “live outcome” rates rose from about 94% to about 96%.

Staff also told the council the shelter faces high turnover. The presentation said the shelter saw roughly a 62% turnover rate across eight positions and elevated turnover among some full-time cleaning positions. Staff linked turnover to occasional sanitation breaches and said they are pursuing physical changes—such as separate holding space—to reduce disease spread.

Council members asked about transports and partnerships; staff said the shelter continues off-site transfers about twice a month and typically moves roughly 16–24 animals per transfer. Councilors praised staff for improving reclaim and adoption rates and supported making the vaccine available at a reduced fee.

The council moved into a public hearing on the proposed fee; no members of the public spoke. After the public hearing the council approved the fee.

Council action on the fee was unanimous.","The Roosevelt City Council approved a $15 fee to make the feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccine available at the Roosevelt Animal Shelter after a public hearing. Shelter staff reported roughly 1,098 intakes last year, improved reclaim and adoption rates, and ongoing staff turnover and sanitation concerns.","actionData","errors"]
