MEMO

Michael C. Van Milligen
City Manager
DATE:
November 1, 2006
RE:
Installation of Traffic Regulation Signs
From time to time we find that there is no ordinance authorizing the placement of certain
traffic regulation signs around the city. Most recently, the "No Parking" signs in the alley
behind Hartig Drug on Locust Street brought our attention to this matter. To cover all
possible situations, Assistant City Attorney Crenna Brumwell has drafted the enclosed
ordinance authorizing the City Manager to place signs consistent with Chapter 32 of the
Code of Ordinances which is the traffic chapter.
