3. Discuss speed control on Crane Ferry Road. (Requested by Commissioner
Boyles).
At this time a delegation appeared before the committee regarding the above item.
Mr. Scott Lee of the Montclair Subdivision stated that speeding on Crane Ferry
. Road has become a problem with people traveling through that area and requested that
some speed bumps or humps be placed there to slow the traffic down.
Ms. Beard: I'd like to move that we add the speed bumps.
Ms. Sims: Second.
Mr. Mayor: We might have to adopt a local policy as to where these should be
placed because we're probably going to have requests for the same thing from other
neighborhoods.
Mr. Russell: Before we actually put the humps out in the area, we might want to
look at a few other things such as the signage, the appropriateness of where to place the
humps, the funding for them and then considering other neighborhoods that may be
interested.
Ms. Beard: It might be good to also have signatures from neighbors who would
agree with doing this. I'll amend my motion to include that in addition to what Mr.
Russell has suggested and get a recommendation back in two weeks.
Motion adopted unanimously.

1. Request for allocation of time to discuss results of community meeting on
disposition of the Historic Fire Station #7 structure.
I
Chief Gillespie: Most people did not want to see us demolish the structure and
would like to see us use the building for some useful purpose.
Mr. Mayor: A small museum could be set up there which would be useful for
school groups and others who are interested. The upstairs could possibly be utilized for
administrative uses of some type.
Ms. Sims: I make a motion that we keep the historic Fire Station #7 and ask the
Fire Department to explore the costs of what can be done.
Ms. Beard: Second.
Motion adopted unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjoumed.
