Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt, Parks & Recreation Director Schultz,Public Works Director Osmundson,Assistant to the City Administrator Walsh, and Police Chief Kalstabakken. City Administrator Burt led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. The agenda was not changed and there was no public comment. Response to Public Comment Public Works Director Osmundson reported on the concerns of the neighbors near the new extension of Diamond Path south of County Road 42. Osmundson noted that the Traffic Engineer Pete Sorenson from Dakota County has already requested a speed study on this segment. This is done routinely when a new roadway opens. The current speed limit on Diamond Path is 45 M.P.H. Also, 30 M.P.H. speed limit signs have been installed on the residential streets of December Trail, 153� Street West, and 155`'' Street West. Allthough"Children At Play" signs were requested, Osmundson noted that he would not recommend their installation. Studies have shown that these signs have little or no effect on the traffic and are not enforceable. Police Chief Kalstabakken reported that one-half hour of each police officer's shift has been used to patrol in the area of Diamond Path.Radar guns have been used and the speed trailer will be used soon to help people realize the speed they are going. The weight limit for Diamond Path is nine tons per axle, which in the spring will be temporarily lowered to about seven tons per�le until the spring thaw is over . Because Diamond Path is a State Aid Highway, truck traffic cannot be restricted.
