RESOLUTION NO. 2003-298
ACCEPTING DONATION OF "PLYMOUTH PACESETTER" DECALS FOR
THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, on July 9, 2002, the City Council approved a resolution for the
implementation of the City's Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program to address the
numerous traffic safety concerns throughout the City; and
WHEREAS, the first phase of the program is education and enforcement efforts, since many
times traffic offenders are residents who live in the neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, a high degree of neighborhood involvement and commitment is essential to
the program's success; and
WHEREAS, one of the tools of this program is a neighborhood "Pace" car, where one or
more residents commit to driving the posted speed limit through their neighborhood and
the neighborhoods of others; and
WHEREAS, as a reminder to other drivers, they will place a decal in the back window of
their vehicle to indicate that they are a "Plymouth Pacesetter," meaning they are
dedicated to drive the speed limits in hopes others will follow; and
WHEREAS, a Plymouth Company, Decal Minnesota, wishes to donate 100 decals for the
City to use for this program; and
WHEREAS per Mn Statute 465.03, a resolution accepting a gift by a municipality
requires a 2/3 vote of the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL that
the City does hereby accept the "Plymouth Pacesetter" decals to be used for the
Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
Adopted by the City Council on July 8, 2003.
