Also Present: 1 resident. 3. Certify Open Meeting Law Requirements Have Been Met: A notice of the meeting and an agenda was posted in the three public places and newspapers were notified. 4. Adopt Agenda: ▪ MOTION (Strasburg/Raap) to adopt the agenda as printed. PASSED, without negative vote. 5. Consider Construction of Bike Path in Crystal Creek: Chairman Aldrich updated the committee that Michael Benrud has offered to give an additional $1,000 toward the project for a total donation of $2,600. He would like to ensure that some kind of bike path is constructed so that property owners of the adjacent lots do not build on it. Because the construction season has ended for the year, the Committee and Village Board will work on a plan for the bike path. The Committee will ask the Clerk-Treasurer to contact Michael Benrud to keep him informed. ▪ MOTION (Raap/Strasburg) recommending the construction of a bike path that will be located from Adams through to Jackson Avenue, and from Jackson Avenue north to the woods. The bike path will not go south through the easement toward the railroad tracks. The surface of the bike path will be one that is most economical to the Village and agreeable with Michael Benrud. PASSED, without negative vote. 6. Consider Speed Limits on State Street: Bob Kassl addressed the committee with his concerns about the speed limit on State Street. As a long-time resident on that street he has observed close calls between pedestrians and vehicles and feels a slower speed limit would be beneficial. ▪ MOTION (Raap/Strasburg) recommending setting the speed limit to 35 mph from Kopplin Road south to the bridge on CTH K; 25 mph from the bridge on CTH K south to Randall Road; 35 mph from Randall Road south to end of the Village Limits (Knudtson Farm) on CTH K. PASSED, without negative vote. 7. Consider Storm Water Management at Fall Creek Post Office: Public Works Director Bryan Kaatz was unable to attend the meeting. No action was taken as more information was required. 8. Consider McKinley Ave Project, Specifically Mail Delivery Options: During the McKinley Avenue project, construction workers parked their personal vehicles in front of the mailboxes of McKinley Avenue residents that had been temporarily relocated on the cross streets. The post office was unable to make deliveries and notified property owners they would have to come to the post office to pick up their mail. Since construction is complete for the fall, there shouldn’t be any problem delivering the mail to the boxes. The Village will monitor it next spring when construction workers return to complete the project. A suggestion was made to place a “bump”sign at the intersections of White/McKinley and Liberty/McKinley 9. Adjourn: ▪ MOTION (Raap/Strasburg) @ 5:55 p.m. PASSED, without negative vote.
