RES. 1981-178 REQUEST SPEED SURVEY ON 160TH STREET Mayor Garrison said he would like to see something done so the County would receive re- quests for speed studies on County roads directly and submit them to the State without the City being involved. Councilmember Branning agreed, but said he would still like notification of when such surveys are done. Councilmember Savanick disagreed and said she would like the Council to continue to review these requests. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota October 8, 1981 Page 3 James Heath presented a petition from homeowners near 160th Street requesting a reduc- tion in the speed limit or the erection of some kind of barrier for safety purposes. Mr. Asleson said it is unlikely that the speed limit will be reduced as much as the residents would like. Patty Swanson asked why. Mr. Asleson said there are a minimum number of streets intersecting with the road and survey considers the traffic and pur- pose of the road rather than just the number of houses in the area. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0.

Ayes - 5 - Nays - 0. Councilmember Overgard reported that the Economic Development Commission had met today and discussed plans for promotional information. They are now considering preparing a video tape presentation rather than a brochure, and will be discussing this further at thenext meeting. Councilmember Savanick said she has reviewed the recreation budgets with the staff and because they are split into different funds, it is difficult to allocate administrative costs. She said she would like the Council to discuss its philosophy on the programs and whether they should be self-supporting. Mayor Garrison said he wouldn't expect the entire program to be self-supporting, but is leaning toward more if it paying for itself. Councilmember Overgard agreed and said maybe some parts of it will have to be eliminated. Mr. Asleson said the programs in separate budgets have evolved over the years as the City has grown and different departments and programs were added. He also said if fees were raised to cover all costs, participation might drop to zero. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota October 8, 1981 Page 4 Councilmember Branning agreed and said the total program has to be balanced because some parts of it will have to be subsidized. Mayor Garrison said all if it will have to be reviewed and those parts that are real losers and have minimal participation should be deleted; this should be an annual review. The Council generally agreed that it wants to take a closer look at all of the programs at the October 29th budget meeting.
