Resident asks council to enforce compression‑brake rule and requests curb apron at Hwy 26 corner
Summary
During public comment Jim Cooper praised the city's Fourth of July events and asked the council to enforce a compression‑brake ordinance because early‑morning trucks are loud; he also asked whether a curb apron could be poured at Hwy 26 and Old Irwin Road. Staff said law enforcement is not available at night and Council member Darrel Ricks said an apron would be costly and 'not likely.'
Jim Cooper opened the public‑comment portion by complimenting the city for its Fourth of July celebrations and then raised two concerns: noise from truck compression brakes in early morning hours and whether the city could construct an apron at the corner of Highway 26 and Old Irwin Road.
The minutes report Cooper asked whether the city could enforce a compression‑brake ordinance because "trucks in early morning hours are very loud." Staff responded that law enforcement is not available at night. Cooper also asked about pouring an apron at the highway corner; Council member Darrel Ricks said it would be "very costly and not likely." The minutes record no motion or follow‑up action on either request.
