Summary

Council discussed two Liberty Avenue items — golf-cart speed and pedestrian safety raised by a resident — and referred both to upcoming committee meetings; the city engineer estimated pedestrian improvements at about $10,000.

Council members discussed two public concerns related to Liberty Avenue: whether golf carts should be permitted on the street and a resident complaint about pedestrian safety raised by a Mr. Birkins. Council President John Gabriel said those items were likely to be best addressed with legal counsel and would be scheduled for committee discussion.

The city engineer provided an initial cost estimate of about $10,000 for the pedestrian improvements requested by Mr. Birkins. The mayor and council agreed to place the items on upcoming committee agendas for further study; no ordinance or formal directive was adopted at the meeting.

Council members noted the police chief had been asked about golf-cart rules but did not provide a definitive legal interpretation during the meeting; council referred the question to legal counsel and committee for review.
