Mayor Kyser advised the Council that the Transportation Study will be
completed and presented to the Council in mid-June at which time more
accurate information pertaining to traffic pattern alternatives will be available to
the Council for consideration.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that the Transportation Study will provide a
total transportation picture which includes, among others, Hayes Street, Front
Street near the high school, and the triangular intersection on Front Street/Parr
Road. The study will also address funding sources available to the City for
street improvements. The computerized comprehensive planning model can
assist the City in determining the traffic patterns based on certain conditions.
Councilor Jennings expressed concern on how the Planning Commission action
was interpreted by the newspaper and local residents. He stated that the
Planning Commission had suggested that the Council consider the placement of
a cul-de-sac at the end of Hayes Street. This action was not a
recommendation as so stated in newspaper articles.
Councilors Figley and Jennings felt that they should be able to talk to their
constituents and receive input from them about the general topic of traffic
patterns, however, they were unsure as to what legal limitations they should
be aware of on this issue.
Attorney Shields stated that when a site specific issue is pending, the
Councilors could not talk about the issue until the issue is completed. In the
case of Wal-Mart, this is a site specific case that is concluded,
the appeal period has lapsed, and the Councilors are free to discuss this
specific issue with staff and citizens.
Mayor Kyser also stated that the map displayed in the local paper, along with
the staff report, was considered a site specific case and all necessary public
hearings were held before the Planning Commission and Council.

Councilor Figley also requested a status report on the Cherry Street parking
issue.
Public Works Director Tiwari stated that the Council had passed a motion to
restrict the parking, however, staff has scheduled a meeting with the
concerned property owners to further discuss this issue.
