PSM19721026PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE - CITY OF MUSKEGO
MINUTES OF MEETING HELD OCTOBER 26, 1972
• Chairman Cole called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. Also present
were Alderman Ford and Police Chief Kraus.
Chief Kraus reported that the State of Wisconsin is phasing out the use
of "Speed Zone Ahead" signs except where there are drastic reductions
in speed. Since the reduction entering Tess Corners is only from 50 mph
• to 35 mph, the State will not consider a "Speed Zone Ahead" sign for
that area.
Ald. Ford reported that the Public Works Committee agreed to have Supt.
Bertram repair some barricades and paint them with reflective paint for
the use of the Police Department.
Ald. Cole reported a request by Ald. Knudsen that the Safety Committee
take whatever steps necessary to have a stop light placed at the inter-
section of Racine Ave. and S.T.H. 24. Chief Kraus agreed to contact the
State regarding this matter.
The new 1973 State Snowmobile Law was presented to the Committee by Chief
Kraus who pointed out the differences between it and our present city
ordinance. It was Chief Kraus's recommendation that the Safety Committee
•recommend to the Rules, Laws & Ordinance Committee the adoption of the
1973 State of Wisconsin Snowmobile Laws by reference. Ald. Cole moved
to do so, seconded by Ald. Ford, motion carried.
