in the Sheriff Department.
Meeting was called to order by Chairman R. Thompson. Motion made: and carried
to adopt the agenda. Next meeting is set for June 11th, 1996 at':1:30 p.m.
Motion to approve minutes of the last meeting were approved as written.
Old business:
USH 12 and STH 128 Junction. Jake Jochimsen explained that because of some
complaints and other comments the proposed design change is now on hold. Lengthy
discussion. A letter is to be written to D.O.T. stating that this commission
favors the proposed re -alignment. '
The speed zone signs on STH 35 north of North Hudson had been moved sometime
last fall.
On Cty F south of CTH MM, the complaint was that the passing zone was too short.
Dan Fedderly will look at the area. It was spotted according to engineering
criteria. Thompson had already looked at it and felt it was ad.,*Ate.should be.
On CTH JJ at the junction with CTH M the view when looking west is somewhat
obstructed by trees, signs, etc. It was suggested that.perhaps the stop line
could be moved.
On Grandview approaching CTH UU there is also a.problem with site distance.
As this is in the City of Hudson limits we will advise them. Traffic on
CTH UU has really increased.and felt this needs to be looked at.
Discussion on highway projects and the lack of monies to complete'.them.
USH 12 from Hudson to Baldwin.is still scheduled for 1997 work.
The Corridor Safety and Speed Wave programs were offered to the County. and
the Sheriff Department.will be participating again.
In viewing the spot map it was noted that our fatalities are down; however,
state wide there has been an increase in the number killed.
Meeting adjourned.
Those in attendance: Roland Thompson, Chuck Meh1s, Miles Wittig, Daniel Fedderly,
Debra Lewis, LuVerne Burke, Willard Jochimsen, Jerry Neumann, Max Ihrke, Dolores
