Summary

A resident raised safety concerns about 5100 W, citing a recent death, lack of ADA ramps at crosswalks, and urged the city to consider taxing for its own police department rather than relying on the sheriff.

At the public presentation portion of the meeting, resident Nate Davis asked whether work on 5100 W was complete and whether he could return horses he leases to the property. He raised concerns about children's safety walking to school and cited "a death in front of his house." He also said crosswalks lacked accessible ADA ramps and suggested the city consider a city tax to fund its own police department instead of giving more to the sheriff's department.

The council did not take action on the request during the meeting; Shawn Warnke noted he could discuss school bus routing and related safety issues with the school district as a next step.
