RESOLUTION 06-047
A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE INCREASED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
FUNDING FOR CR 21
Motion By: Dornbush
Second By: Erickson
WHEREAS, City staff was directed to provide additional traffic enforcement on County Road 21
which resulted in more than 300 stops and a decrease in corridor speeds; and
WHEREAS, Additional patrol of neighborhood trouble spots are requested through the City Traffic
Safety Committee; and
WHEREAS, The ongoing increased enforcement is problematic because due to squad car coverage
constraints, enforcement occurs during non-peak hour; and
WHEREAS, Additional funding is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of the program by
targeting the peak traffic hours and allowing the police department to dedicate a patrol
unit to perform speed enforcement during peak periods; and
WHEREAS, Allocation of a small portion of the funds to deal with neighborhood issues is
recommended; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA as follows:
1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
2. City staff is directed to provide additional traffic enforcement on CR 21 and in neighborhood "hot
spots" during peak traffic periods not to exceed $12,000.00.
3. General fund savings in other activities will be used to cover the overrun in the overtime line item in
the police budget for 2006.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 20th DAY OF MARCH 2006.
