Council approves speed-trailer rental amendment and asks staff to price digital speed signs
Summary
Council amended and approved a speed-trailer rental agreement to add a $25 minimum reimbursement for pickup/drop-off, and directed staff to gather costs for digital speed-display signs and camera locations as part of traffic-safety planning.
The council addressed multiple traffic-safety equipment items in the meeting, including a rental agreement for a speed trailer and discussion about digital speed-display signs and camera blind spots.
On the rental agreement, members debated whether to limit reimbursement by mileage and whether to set a minimum charge for pickup and drop-off. Brian moved to approve the speed-trailer rental agreement with a modification to specify a minimum $25 reimbursement in numbered sections 2 and 5; the council approved the amended agreement.
Separately, members discussed municipal cameras and solar-powered stop-sign battery failures. The council asked staff to obtain quotes for camera installation at identified blind spots (including the industrial park and a site near Reese’s) and to research costs for digital speed signs similar to those used in neighboring towns. Staff were also asked to check whether hard-wiring the signs is feasible versus replacing solar batteries.
No final purchases for digital signs or camera installations were authorized at the meeting; council members asked staff to bring pricing and quotes to a future agenda.
