Presented by Steve Acenbrak, Director of Transportation
Body
Item Summary:
City policy currently gives the Mayor and City Council authority to approve the use of all regulatory signs, except for signs related to parking, which has been delegated to the Chief of Police. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that a regulatory sign is a sign that gives notice to road users of traffic laws or regulations. Regulatory traffic controls devices are supported by laws, ordinances, or regulations. Since these regulatory signs are fairly routine by nature, this text amendment would relieve the administrative burden on Elected Officials and streamline the process of selecting and installing these signs.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On February 27, 2012 Mayor and City Council approved the first reading of this Ordinance.
Financial Impact:
N/A
