Dean DaM in. 10406 South Shore Drive, requested that 1f the road
was not c osed that markers be placed along the roar! indicating
the curve and aw. ked for a special patrol to be assigned to the
area for a limited time to discourage high traffic speeds.
There was a discussion of the possibility of lowering the speed
limit on the strett to 20 mph. Engineer Goldberg stated this
would require a study to be made by the Commissioner of Highways.
Chief Hawkinson felt t:+s action would slow traffic down a little
but would demand constant enforcement and he aou'd prefer to see
additional stop signs plaud on the street. There was further
discussion of alternate means of slowing down traffic,
Councilman Seirold stated the problem seemed to be the quality of
traffic on the drive rather than the quantity. He felt the new
management policies at the Country House would upgrade the gfjality
of the customers there and said the City would try to solve the
problem of noise and disturbances at the beaches. He asked the
Council to adopt a wait-and-see attitude at present until the
above solutions are proven to be effective or not.
Council questioned Chief Hawkinson about enforcement of the
ordinance prohibiting drinking nn public beaches.
Sergeant Tom Saba reported on the problem% of enforcing the
ordinance on the Medicine lake beiches. He stated it would
be helpful if the courts understood the seriousness of the
situation and cooperated in prosecuting theL offencl&irs ind
dispensing tough fines.
Sergeant Larry Rogers stated there must be some communication
between the Li:y's administratioft and court officials regarding
this problem.
Attnrney Lefler suggested haviri an attorney present at arraign-
ments 'in these cases to talk tc the court about the seriousness
of the problem in our community.
Council discussed various alternatives of iii;,roving the situation
on the beaches and parks.
Chief Hawkinson and Sgt. Stba replied to Council's questions about
enfor.ing requlations for minibikes. They suggested an ordinance
authorizing impoundment of the ol7fender's vehicle would be helpful
in enforcing the regulations.
MOTION was made by Councilman Seibold, Peconded by Councilman
Spaeth, to direct staff to continue their effortq. to develop
this set of control ordinances and to bring them back to Coimcil
as soon as possible for adoption taking into consideration the
