Seeing none, I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion.
Motion and a second by Councilman Schmidt. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Fantastic. Next one is to consider resolution adopting Cedar City fund balance and reserve policy.
Absolutely, I think that's a great suggestion and I'll make the make the change And you know mayor I hope you don't mind that I'm throwing you under the bus on this one makes sense because our the ordinance talks about how the Budget comes through the mayor anyway, so it makes sense to align that language to match the current process.
We can choose if it's between that 25 and 35, whether we leave it there or whether we move it.
Since this one is a money one, I'm just going to make sure. Is there anybody that came tonight to talk about this? I'm always open to public putting input on the work meeting if there is. Okay.
Second. I think Councilman Cox beat you all. You were trying to get into minutes. All in favor?
Last one is to consider the installation of four-way stop at the intersection of Cody Drive and Legacy Ave. Before I turn it to Kent, it is interesting because we were talking of is this something that council should really have to decide on or can engineers just make a decision if a stop sign is needed or not? And our current policy or ordinance requires you to decide if a stop sign goes in anywhere in our city. That's good.
So I agree that I think this is one that, well, I think it's one that you can still move forward. But if, If an engineer decides there should be one, I don't know why we need to decide if a stop sign should go in or not.
So we're adding that to the ordinances to maybe look at, is this really an issue that every stop sign should be approved by council or not? I don't know.
It's an engineering question. Sometimes you can add an extra one that an engineer might not think is necessary because public says, hey, I want to slow down traffic in this neighborhood, and we agree.
So this one started because of a public that there's some here tonight that called me and asked about it. And we went through the process to have Kent evaluate it with engineering standards.
And here we are, so Kent, do you want to give us your thoughts on this stop sign? Can you make this a little bigger, Kent?
Okay, so that's the summary recommended. Any questions for Kent from the council?
I know there are some here that wanted to come and if you just wanted to listen or speak to it, you're welcome to come and say anything if you want to.
Oh, we got another one coming. Fantastic. You sat through the meeting. You might as well say what you want to say.
When we put the four-way stop, we naturally will stripe the crosswalks, not necessarily flashing lights, but at least the crosswalks would get put in, or is that not true?
Just to make sure, though, if you're going to make, as you talk about this, to make official motions on it, There's striping for the crosswalk, which is cheap, easy, no problem, but the flashing light part is a second to that request.
Yeah, that's different. That's recognition of some extra signage and flashing lights before it, but a permanent crosswalk signage is different.
Paul was just saying that's the fix. Just cut the tree down. No way.
And a second. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? So what that means, just so you know, when it goes on a consent agenda, the council's basically decided. So it's moving forward.
Like he was disappointed in you? Yeah. He gave you the mom guilt. I felt like father being disappointed in me.
Thank you. Okay, well, that's our agenda.
