Council Minutes of 2/18/2003 Departmerrt is very busy communicating to all of Council. It is safe to say that all of Council is going to stay focused on the business of trying to operate the city in the best way they can, and that is his personal intention. Jennifer Zarycki, 258b0 Byron Drive ^ Regarding the turn on Canterbury Road, she suggested a sign be installed that says, "Turn Ahead," or perhaps making that a 30 mile per hour speed limit. Safety Director Jesse said that was a good suggestion. He has discussed it with the Police Chief and did discuss the idea of changing the speed limit in the curve. However, it would not be an enforceable sign-it is more of an advisory sign. Putting up a "Curve Ahead" sign and more warnings would be appropriate during the interim of the study being completed. Several Council members and the Law Director agreed this should be considered, and Mrs. Kasler said she would take the issue into the Safety Committee. Mr. Miller suggested that the incidents on the road as noted by Mr. Kelley be included in the statistics for the traffic study. Bob Sekerak, 3028 Forest Lake Drive, Westlake ^ Asked for clarification on Council's policy on absences. Law Du-ector Dubelko said there are Council rules that require that absences be excused for Council members. President O'Grady noted that the excused absences relate to Council members only and that the Mayor and members of the administration are guests at the meeting. Charles Dial, 27959 Gardenia ^ Wanted to say for himself, and he believes almost everyone involved in the recall, that he fully understands why Council does not want to get involved or take a stand on the issue. The recall committee just wants to get it on the ballot so that the people can decide. If it scares the administration straight, that would be good too.
