The Yellowstone County Commissioner meeting held on October 10, 2023, focused primarily on the adoption of a no parking resolution for a section of Iroquois Trail, following a public hearing on the matter.

The meeting commenced with Tim from the Public Works Department presenting the background of the resolution, identified as 23-99. He explained that the request for a no parking zone originated from residents of the Indian Cliff Subdivision, specifically for the area of Iroquois Trail north of the Cheyenne and Iroquois intersection up to the dead end sign. To gauge community support, a poll was conducted among six neighboring properties, resulting in five responses: four in favor and one opposed to the no parking designation.

Following this introduction, the public hearing was opened, allowing residents to voice their opinions. Maureen Wambeke, a resident of Iroquois Trail, expressed gratitude for the consideration of the resolution, highlighting ongoing parking issues that have affected her and her neighbors. Jody Janicek, another resident, provided additional arguments for the resolution, citing safety concerns due to the narrow width of the roads and referencing a previous decision made by the commissioners in 2018 regarding a similar no parking area in the subdivision.

After hearing from the public, the commissioners closed the hearing and proceeded to discuss the resolution. Commissioner Jones made a motion to approve the no parking area, which was seconded and subsequently passed unanimously.

In conclusion, the meeting resulted in the successful adoption of the no parking resolution for Iroquois Trail, reflecting the community's support and addressing safety concerns raised by residents. The decision marks a significant step in managing local traffic and enhancing neighborhood safety.
