Council flags data-collection clause as MODOT radar-sign agreement is delivered
Summary
Mayor Ron Walker said MODOT approved the vendor and provided an agreement to purchase and install radar speed signs; Alderman Viola Schaefer flagged a provision prohibiting data collection and the mayor said he will contact MODOT for clarification before signing.
During ongoing-business discussion on June 1, Mayor Ron Walker said the Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) approved a vendor and supplied an agreement to purchase and install radar speed signs intended to improve pedestrian safety. The radar signs are part of the city’s pedestrian-safety efforts.
Alderman Viola Schaefer noted a provision in the agreement that appears to prohibit data collection; the council did not act on the agreement at the meeting. Mayor Walker said he will contact MODOT regarding that provision before executing the agreement.
The minutes show the council treating the radar-sign purchase as ongoing business pending resolution of the data-collection provision. No contract or vendor name is recorded in the meeting minutes.
