It was decided to put all emergency contact numbers for Salina City on the ad. Becky Lopshire motioned to purchase a ½ page ad in the Richfield Reaper Community Preparedness Publication. Jed Maxwell seconded. Motion carried 4 to 0.
SRO Greg Harwood stated that he had a citizen approach him about putting a crosswalk on 400 W at the bottom of 300 N so the children can cross 400 W. He asked if that could be done and possibly touch up the other crosswalks, especially the one at 300 N and 100 W. That one is getting really faded. He stated that if the resources are available to do that then maybe the other crosswalks could be brightened up also. Harwood also added that it would be nice to put turning lanes in front of the middle school on 100 W. Mayor Deaton asked Harwood about the drop off lane at the elementary school and if he felt it was wide enough. Harwood stated that he felt it was too narrow when they painted the lines in the beginning. Mayor Deaton will speak with Staker Parsons and have them spray over that line with oil and then it can be repainted. Mayor Deaton will speak with Straight Stripe about getting these items scheduled when they come to do the other striping in town.
