SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - July 11, 1996
ITEM: 10.E. Consider a resolution adopting the 1996 -1997 Child Safety Fines
Budget.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joanne Land
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Legislature enacted a statute which designates all revenues that are
received from school zone offenses be placed in a special account. These revenues
are to go directly for school zone improvements. The account has a current balance
of $18,000. In order to spend the money, the attached budget was developed.
Staff proposes to make necessary school zone improvements at the two (2)
new schools, Forest Creek Elementary and Hopewell Middle School in the amount
of $10,000. These improvements will include flashing school zone signs.
This past school year the City worked with Deepwood Elementary devising a
portable 20 mph speed limit sign to help crossing guards slow down traffic at
crosswalks. The "test" sign was a success. Staff is recommending the expenditure of
$750 to make signs necessary for all the elementary schools.
Also, staff recommends a $2,000 contingency fund for routine replacement
and /or repair of existing school zone improvements.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed expenditures of $12,750 leaving a
balance in the fund of $5,250.
