ROSF�VIOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS -
REGULAR MEETING �
MAY 16, 1995
City Administrator Burt received a petition from neighbors for a four-way stop at the corner
of 153rd Street and Darjeeling Path. The Police Department did a speed survey showing an
average of 28 mph. In December of 1993 city staff completed an investigation of this area.
In order to be consistent and place signs where needed staff would like to follow the warrants
as set out in the "Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices". Studies have
shown that when there are too many signs they are often ignored and when added stops are
made drivers speed up to make up the lost time. To avoid this situation staff would like to
conduct another investigation.
MOTION by McMenomy to install a stop sign. Due to lack of a second the motion was
dropped. Discussion followed.
MOTION by McMenomy to receive the petition and direct staff to conduct a traffic study to
deterrnine warrants for traffic control. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Staata, Busho,
Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy: Nays: None.

Councilmember Wippermann noted the invitation he had received for a joint meeting with
Parks and Recreation Committee and Rosemount Partnership Program to be called by the
City Council. All though the communication idea is good, the perception that City Council
is conducting the meeting would not be valid. The City Attorney advised that the "Open
Meeting Law" should be considered here. City Council decided not to take any action for a
formal meeting to be called. Staff was directed to prepare a letter to the Parks and
Recreation Committee that City Council decided that a park referendum is not appropriate
because of the fmancial conditions at this time.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn the meeting. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Busho,
Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staaxs. Nays: None. The meeting was adjourned at
