vehicles all over the city and they have been using the speed signs to gather data. He did
advise however, that the speed signs show the speed of the drivers, which may make people
slow down and not give accurate results of the speed study. He advised that a new sign has
been purchased that records the speeds without showing the speeds. He hopes this will give
the department a better understanding of the problem in the area. He advised once they
determine there is a speed problem, the department will then respond with proper
enforcement. After a brief discussion, there was no action taken and the Chief will update the
committee on the progress.

Chief Rens advised there are no speed limit signs on Muskego Dam between STH 36 and
Loomis Drive. He recommended four 35 mph speed limit signs be posted. After discussion,
the committee approved the need for the signs and requested it be sent to council for a
resolution. Alderman Wolfe made a motion to approve the signs. Citizen Representative
Kuwitzky seconded. Motion passed 5 in favor.
Autism Sign Gaulke Drive.
After a short discussion the committee agreed it would be a good idea to erect two signs, one
in each direction near the residence in question. Citizen Representative Kuwitzky made

Information will be forwarded to the public works department and city clerk to place the signs.
