Warpool said he had received multiple resident complaints and several 311 reports about a sign east of Southeastern at the A‑100/169 area that conflicts with pavement markings. \"There's been a couple of calls on this,\" Warpool said, noting the sign indicates a left-turn lane while pavement and lane width make the lane's use ambiguous.

Public discussion during the meeting clarified that last summer public works painted a left-turn arrow in the left lane but the existing sign did not reflect that marking. Warpool said he had asked public works to remove both the sign and the left-turn arrow so the lane will show through-left and through-right movements until a permanent striping correction can be done. He also said the location is not wide enough to accommodate separate left, through and right lanes or a left-turn signal. Several residents had reported drivers were confused and some left-turn movements continued through the intersection.

The chair noted this is a maintenance issue rather than a capital project and suggested public works handle the repainting and sign removal as routine maintenance. No formal board action was taken; the item was discussed as new business and will be handled administratively by public works.

The board did not receive public comment on the issue during the meeting's public-expression period.

Board members voted unanimously present to approve the Dec. 2, 2024 meeting minutes at the start of the session. The board then approved four allocations: $9,700 to relocate the Robertsdale emergency siren, $252,500 for Fifth and State Line improvements, $17,700 for a Clark Field storm sewer redesign and $480,250 to design a downtown station approach.

The approvals were routine and passed by roll call votes, with the board recording six votes in favor and one member absent on each roll call where a tally was recorded.

On the siren relocation, a staff member said the existing siren sits next to the current Fire Station 2, which will be demolished once crews move into a new Station 2. \"During the course of that demolition, we'll need to relocate the existing emergency siren to the new Station 2,\" the staff member said. The board approved $9,700 for the relocation, citing less electrical work was needed than on a similar relocation done last year. The motion to approve was moved by Commissioner Muda and seconded by Councilman Salinas and carried 6–0 with 1 absent.

The board awarded a $252,500 contract to Gary Up Construction for Fifth and State Line improvements. Staff told the board the Board of Public Works and Safety opened bids in December and Gary Up was the low responsive, responsible bidder; the amount was below the engineer's estimate after the project was rebid with some items changed. Staff described the intersection—between the Third and Fourth districts where eastbound traffic on River Oaks Drive meets the intersection—as having a \"kink\" that has led to crashes and vehicles departing the roadway; the approved work includes warnings for motorists and rumble strips. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Prieto and carried 6–0 with 1 absent.

The board approved $17,700 to Neiss Engineering for a storm sewer redesign at Clark Field. Staff said the original designer placed storm sewer pipe on private property in two locations and that the $17,700 pays for nominal engineering to put the pipe in the correct location; staff also said the city will pursue action later to recover costs from the original designer. Commissioner Meade seconded the motion; it passed 6–0 with 1 absent.

Finally, the board approved $480,250 to Lochmuller Group to design the eastern approach to the future downtown Hammond station. Staff said the funds cover NEPA work, survey and road design for a construction project estimated at $2.4 million. The speaker noted the original grant application contemplated design being 100% locally funded, and that future project designs at the regional level may be funded on an 80/20 federal/local split, which can change consultant selection processes. Councilman Rakos moved the motion and Councilman Salinas seconded; it passed 6–0 with 1 absent.

The board then heard a brief new-business item and adjourned. There was no public comment during the public-expression portion of the meeting.
