Summary
City staff said 16 stop signs recently installed will be monitored for safety and traffic impacts. A contract to repair 0.5–2 inch sidewalk uplifts is on the council consent agenda; specific contract amount and vendor details were not specified in the transcript.
City officials said the city will monitor the 16 new stop signs the council recently approved and will address any compliance or safety problems that arise.
The city is also placing an item on the council consent agenda to award a contract for sidewalk uplift repairs affecting areas with uplifts between roughly one-half inch and two inches. Staff said a proprietary contractor is identified for the work; the transcript listed the contract amount as "$146 or so" without specifying units or whether that figure was truncated. The item was described as likely to be placed on consent so the council can focus on a fuller November agenda.
In briefing remarks, one city official said staff will watch for traffic backups and that the police chief is tracking stop-sign compliance. The official added the city would follow up if residents report problems. On sidewalks, staff said the work is focused on localized uplifts and that the vendor and award details will appear on the council agenda.
No formal council vote or award was recorded in the transcript. The council item was described as an agenda placement and proposed contract award; the transcript did not supply a full contract amount, vendor name, or planned start date.
City staff said additional November agenda items will be discussed at the next meeting; if the sidewalk item does not remain on consent, it will be taken up in the regular agenda process.
