Council action included accepting a quote and approving payment to All American Fire Equipment (item 37945), approving payment to Warn Overhead Door (37946), payment to Vail E and M Engineers for the Board of Health (37947), a payment listed as PDPs (37948), authorizing a memorandum of understanding with Universal Primary Care for occupancy of Suite 101 in Old City Hall (37949), approving payment to Allied Systems Inc.

All listed motions were adopted as recorded at the meeting. The transcript records the motions and seconding statements and indicates each item passed by voice or roll-call votes; individual aye/nay roll-call tallies for each named council member are recorded in the meeting minutes but were not fully specified in the available transcript excerpt.

Also discussed earlier in the meeting were three contractor bids for an unnamed project received that day: bids of $647,576 (first bidder), $783,345 (EV Paving and Concrete) and $608,592 (Bob Cummings Construction). Council took those bids under advisement and said action on them will be scheduled for the next regular meeting.

The city's police and legal staff described limits on local authority and possible interim steps. School Resource Officer Daughtry returned Kingview's earlier request for enforcement but \"did not see anyone speeding,\" Kingview said; he told her the roadway felt fast but had not produced enforcement reports. A police speaker said the department searched three years of records and found \"little and no complaints of speeding on that roadway,\" and urged residents to call with vehicle descriptions or plate numbers when incidents occur.

Mark Hollenbeck, the city attorney, summarized state law on speed limits. \"Pennsylvania's traffic code is Title 75 of the current statutes,\" Hollenbeck said, explaining that a residence district default is 25 mph and that PennDOT must authorize special local limits after a traffic-engineering investigation. \"If the city were to want to look into that, they can't do it unilaterally,\" Hollenbeck said, adding that PennDOT's regulations describe how those studies must be carried out.

Residents and public commenters urged the council to pursue engineering or automated solutions in addition to enforcement. Alexander Casper, who identified himself as secretary of the Green Party of Pennsylvania and a former planner in Philadelphia, urged installing physical traffic-calming devices and automated enforcement where allowed. \"Speed bumps is a really good resource, especially on our pedestrian streets, especially in our parks that help save a child, save a pet, save a baby's life,\" Casper said, and cited experience elsewhere where automated enforcement reduced speeding.

Council members and police said some technical limits complicate local action. Councilors and former police officials noted that Pennsylvania currently restricts municipal use of radar, which limits local automated speed enforcement, and that some locations lack the sight lines needed for average-speed devices. As an interim step, a police official recommended increased patrol attention and said the department would deploy portable flashing speed-warning signs in the near term.

The council did not vote on any ordinance or formal study at the meeting. Council members said staff will follow up with PennDOT guidance and try to place portable speed-warning signs near the park before summer. Kingview and other speakers were told to supply any further evidence (plate numbers, photos) to assist enforcement and follow-up.","Residents pressed the Bradford City Council to seek a lower speed limit and traffic-calming measures on Hoffman Avenue near Callahan Park after a pet was struck; city staff and the city attorney described legal limits and said the city will pursue interim measures while coordinating with PennDOT.","actionData","errors"]
