PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATION
City Council Traffic Safety Goal Update - Public Works Director Stultz provided a presentation with
an update on street classifications, recent speed studies, and new state guidance. He noted that the
purpose of collecting this data is to support a data-driven approach to prioritizing investments that help
reduce traffic hazards.
Police Chief Millican passed out a packet to Council and presented traffic enforcement data and trends
from the first two quarters of 2025, including radar trailer stats, crash data, and DUI enforcement.
City Administrator Derickson acknowledged that this is a complex safety issue, and solutions may be
costly. Ongoing data collection will inform future recommendations to the Council. He noted that the
Council can lower neighborhood speed limits (e.g., from 25 to 20 mph), which may help enforcement.
An advisory community vote on this could be considered in the May election. He added that while this
wouldn't necessarily change how people drive,it would give police additional tools to enforce speeding
where needed.
Mayor Lonergan asked to receive a report on the following in November; cost of signs, report on the
devices shown in presentation and how those might work, and how they work in other cities, how
lowering of speeds has worked in other cities, cost to place the lowering of speed limit on the ballot,
map of the city with potential streets that would benefit from this.
