2) VILLAGE COUNCIL Mark S. Ulmer

A) MOTION TO AMEND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET TO DELETE FURTHER EXPENDITURES ON N.E. 95^TH STREET BETWEEN N.E. 2^ND AVENUE AND GRAND CONCOURSE.

Mr. Ulmer read his proposed motion and offered background information to the Council. He indicated that although the capital budget is amended and voted upon each year, he believes that the 95^th Street resident's concerns have been addressed and that future funding should be eliminated. Mr. Ulmer provided statistical information which substantiated his belief that the issues raised by residents, i.e. traffic volume, vehicle speed, and the number of trucks on the street, had been mitigated.

Individual Council Members offered their thoughts on the collected data, Mr. Ulmer's interpretation of the data, and their opinions on whether or not future funding should be deleted at this point in time. Following this discussion, Mayor Davis asked for a motion. Mr. Ulmer indicated that his motion would remain as proposed. No second was offered. The motion died for lack of a second.
