CONSIDERATIONS
1) MINUTES Barbara A. Estep
A) APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY 7, 2003 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MINUTES.
Mr. Blum moved approval of the January 7, 2003 Minutes. Mr. Herrera seconded the motion and
the vote was unanimous in favor.
2) VILLAGE COUNCIL Mark S. Ulmer
A) MOTION TO AMEND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET TO DELETE
FURTHER EXPENDITURES ON N.E. 951111 STREET BETWEEN N.E. 2ND
AVENUE AND GRAND CONCOURSE.
Mr. Ulmer read his proposed motion and offered background information to the Council. He
indicated that although the capital budget is amended and voted upon each year, he believes that
the 95th Street resident's concerns have been addressed and that future funding should be
eliminated. Mr. Ulmer provided statistical information which substantiated his belief that the
issues raised by residents, i.e. traffic volume, vehicle speed, and the number of trucks on the
street, had been mitigated.
Individual Council Members offered their thoughts on the collected data, Mr. Ulmer's
interpretation of the data, and their opinions on whether or not future funding should be deleted at
this point in time. Following this discussion, Mayor Davis asked for a motion. Mr. Ulmer
indicated that his motion would remain as proposed. No second was offered. The motion died
for lack of a second.
