City council meeting November 13th 5:30pm
The 2024 FYE Annual Finance Report was the first Report.
The intersection of Harvest drive and South Grand Avenue were the first discussion of the council meeting. This intersection, a topic of discussion for a few years now. Planning and Zoning are looking at four-way stop for the intersection. With an increase in new drivers, new businesses and residents, a four-way stop would go in and a speed limit reduction down to 45mph is the recommendation. After the recommended speed limit, Police Chief, Lyle Murray suggested lowering it down to a 35mph zone to fit with the rest of the road. Chief sees a lot of new drivers in that area and see’s a slower speed being the safer option at 35pmh. This speed limit change is suggested on S. Grand Avenue from, 255th street to Washington Avenue. This was approved by the council.
A discussion about the Greiner subdivision at 1501 E Linden Drive looks to be approved. The area and lots would fit well and it would cause little to no impact to the road/ traffic way. This will add 5 residential building lots. This was Approved by the council.
