Update on Liquor Ordinance: It was decided to table this matter to the next meeting. Update on Ponds and Pools: Chief Martin stated that the Update will be in this City newsletter in the form of a blurb, which will go out in the next week or two. The blurb will be a reminder to people as to the rules and permits regarding this situation. Paul James arrived 6:36 in the midst of this discussion. Chief Martin and Wanda O'Hare updated Mr. James as to what had already been discussed in the beginning of the meeting. Update on Emergency Generator: Wanda O'Hare moved the meeting onto #4 on the Agenda. Chief Martin stated that the City had received 3 Bids on the new emergency generator to handle the entire City Hall/Police Station. Wanda O'Hare had questioned the fact that all three bids had no mention of the cost of tax added to their bids. Chief Martin stated most businesses that did estimates for City's know they are not taxable bodies; therefore do not include tax on estimates. Wanda O'Hare questioned what the City's cost for excavation and backfilling. 2 Chief Martin stated that at this point he was not aware of the cost of excavation and backfilling. Wanda O'Hare pointed out that the bid from Patten Power Systems had included in their bid the cost to load and move the old generator for the City. The other bids did not include this in the bids. Wanda O'Hare brought up the fact that Williams Architecture had overlooked the fact that the generator that is in place now is not capable of this building. Mrs. O'Hare brought up the point to have a letter put together to be put in Williams Architecture's file for future reference. Chief Martin stated that he was not aware of a letter having been written yet. It was agreed this issue should be discussed with Larry Kot-Chairman of Public Safety Committee. Tony Graff joined meeting at 6:40p.m. Chief Martin informed Mr. Graff that the Committee would like to have a letter created by "Joe"to be put in Williams' file. The letter would be in regards to the generator not having been determined by their company to be capable of handling the load of the building. Tony Graff stated he recalled that in the first meeting with Williams Architecture there was discussion that they had to see what the load was going to ultimately be and what the requirements were going to be in the case of emergency generation. Tony Graff stated that the issue may have become a money issue at that time so the City could have decided to save the money at the time and the building would run what was necessary, the police side of the building. Chief Martin stated that this is the second time that this has been to Public Safety Committee. Mr. Martin then asked Tony Graff if there was any money available for the new generator needed. Tony Graff responded "no", and then explained since this is a need that was not expected or budgeted for, The Administration Committee will have to come up with the financial options. Tony Graff then stated that Tracy and he will work with the City Treasurer to identify a financial plan to get the generator purchased for the City. Paul James, Chief Martin and Tony Graff then discussed the connection and workings of the generator that is in place now. Wanda O'Hare then confirmed that the letter would be written to go in Williams Architecture's file. 3 Chief Martin and Wanda O'Hare will send the quotes on the new generator to COW on the July, 6, 2004 meeting to make a recommendation. Tony Graff then left the meeting at 6:45. Wanda O'Hare reconfirmed the fact that if Williams Architecture could have saved the City money if they had installed the correct size generator the first time around. Chief Martin added that the old generator will be used at one of the pump stations in the City, which will offset some of the costs. Police Reports—May 2004: Wanda O'Hare preceded meeting on to #5 on the agenda. She questioned the big increase in criminal damages reported. Chief Martin replied that a number of these are due from egged houses and damage to construction sites. He also added that these #'s usually go up in the summer. Wanda O'Hare noted that the total citations issued went up to 279 compared to 171 last year. Chief Martin stated this year they have the "click it or ticket"program running on their own. Being that the department did this on their own there was approximately a two week time with officers having worked overtime. The overtime was spread against two pay periods. Wanda O'Hare also pointed out the difference in the Public Complaint area from last year was 64.33 and this year it was 122.5 on the Man-hour Report. Chief Martin stated that this was going up in that area mainly to do with the complaints from the Criminal Damage to property and general complaints as well. Wanda O'Hare then moved on to the Truck Enforcement Summary. She stated in 2003 the City had received a total of$11,343.01 after Court costs. Yet, in the first six months of this year, the City had only collected approximately $1500.00. She did point out there were a lot of Offenses still pending judgment. Chief Martin stated that Dave (Officer Dave Delaney) has been busy this year even with being gone for 7 weeks in classes. Wanda O'Hare stated it was good to see this much work being done so the truckers know to follow the law and find an alternative route. Wanda O'Hare and Chief Martin discussed the matter of"lock-outs" and that they occur mostly in the cold and rain. The department has to document them know due to the form the public signs off on when they help people get back in their vehicle. 4 Wanda O'Hare brought up the intentions that the department will be selling the old Dare car. Chief Martin stated that the newer Dare car is still being worked on and it is approximately a month away from being finished. It is intended to be ready by the new school year. The old car will have to have the paint stripped off before selling can be considered. The reasoning behind a Traffic report being done at Washington and Adrian St. was brought up at this time. This was done as a request due to the Park in the area. Chief Martin went on to discuss the flier regarding Alcohol seller & server education training that is to be held on Tuesday, June 29, 2004. Chief Martin went over the specifics of the training. At the time of the meeting there was no one signed up so far. The lunch is catered by Rosati's, which was sponsored by Chamber of Commerce. The meeting moved on to the grant that the Department received to use for Tobacco Enforcement. The grant totaled $1,210.00, which is only used for tobacco enforcement program. It will help in the fight against the sale of tobacco to minors. Chief Martin went over a few of the positive letters the department had received recently from the public. The gratitude is appreciated. The group briefly discussed the use of the noise meter that will be used for the cruise nights coming up in the case of any complaints. Chief Martin went over his involvement in the Fight Crime: Invest in Kids ILLINOIS. He stated they do a lot with legislation and Chief Martin himself keeps writing letters when necessary to Congressmen, Senators or anyone to help in a specific matter. Appletree Court—Street Light Request: Chief Martin stated Officer Barry Groesch went door to door in the cul-de-sacs and from a survey taken, everyone agreed on the survey that a street light is necessary at this intersection with Rt 47. The group decided this issue needed to be put to the Public Works Committee to be discussed there. Cross Traffic Signs: It was discussed that the normal signs that are required by MUTCD will be in place at the intersection of Countryside Parkway and Center Parkway. There is concern that these signs should be enlarged due to a special needs area. This committee will let the Public Works Committee know of there concern on this. Request Purchase of Budgeted Vehicles: Chief Martin went over the vehicles that are already budgeted for replacement to be adding one vehicle and replace another. One of the other vehicles, M-3, would be given to the Parks and Recs department to use. The committee moved to put this on to C.O.W. 5 Hiring Individual to replace Officer Patricia Cernakee: The group discussed the matter of Officer Patricia Cernakee is leaving. Chief Martin pointed out the facts that she is a hard worker and a real good individual. Chief Martin discussed that he would be meeting with the Fire and Police Commission on Sat., June 26, 2004. He could at that time talk with them about getting the people who have already had the background checks done, lined up. Once that's done the issue would move on to C.O.W., then to City Council from there. The Committee agreed to move this on to C.O.W. to get the position filled. Neighborhood Watch: Chief Martin briefly discussed the fact that Sergeant Larry Hilt wanted the Committee to know that the department is currently working on more Neighborhood Watch areas. The Committee requested that Chief Martin have one of the officers be present at the next meeting to get the specifics of what the department is doing to keep the public involved. The Committee also discussed the importance of having these programs in place and continually running. Chief Martin stressed the fact that the Department will always stress the importance of the Neighborhood Watch to the Community. Chief Martin did confirm he will bring this issue back to the Public Safety Committee Meeting with Officer Barry Groesch on July 22, 2004. Additional Business: Chief Martin added that Mayor Art Prochaska wanted him to discuss a complaint that he, Mayor Prochaska, had received regarding parking. The parking issue was on John Street by the ball field where people are parking on both sides of the road. Chief Martin stated that the City should keep parking the same around all the parks and have the public limited to one side of the road parking. The Committee agreed to send this to Public Works Committee to have signs posted to ensure the safety of the public. There was no more additional business. Wanda O'Hare confirmed that the next Public Safety Committee Meeting would be on July 22, 2004. The meeting adjourned at 7:08pm. Minutes by: Sheila Teausaw Page 1 of 4 REVISED AT COMMITTEE'S REQUEST UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE PUBLIC SAFETY MEETING Conference Room May 27, 2004, 6:30pm In Attendance: Alderman Larry Kot Police Chief Harold Martin Alderwoman Rose Spears Alderwoman Wanda Ohare Guests: Officer Dave Delaney, Yorkville Police Department The meeting was called to order at 6:36pm by Chairperson Larry Kot. 1. APPROVAL/CORRECTION OF MINUTES: APRIL 22,2004 April 22, 2004 minutes were approved. The committee expressed their approval of the format and asked that it be forwarded to other minute takers. Moved ahead to item #3 on agenda... .... 3. UPDATE ON LIQUOR ORDINANCE Chief Martin noted that Attorney Kelly Kramer had not been able to finish the update yet, but will present it at the June meeting. Attorney Kramer was going to consult with Mokena regarding eliminating liquor sales at gas stations. At this point, only package sales are being discussed, though the Mayor has some concern over a business being established as a bar or restaurant. This item will be brought back to the June meeting. 4. UPDATE ON PONDS AND POOLS Alderman Kot stated that education of citizens regarding safety is of utmost importance. He received a call from a constituent regarding swimming pool regulations, since pools can be just as dangerous as ponds. Mr. Kot obtained a copy of the ordinance from Bill Dettmer and will provide a copy to all committee members. Chief Martin noted that retention ponds are graded in a graduated fashion for safety, though Alderman Kot noted that the Fox River presents a greater danger. Page 2 of 4 Alderwoman Spears brought up the fact that good parenting plays an important role in the safety of children around ponds, as well. She posed the question: how many restrictions can be placed on people? It was noted that a small wading pool could be just as dangerous as a garden pond. Information regarding water safety topics will be published in the newsletter and paper. In addition, Mr. Kot wishes to review the swimming pool ordinance more closely. The ordinance states that anything over 24" deep is considered a swimming pool. This item will be brought to the next meeting. 5. EMERGENCY GENERATOR QUOTE It was determined that the current generator is not powerful enough to maintain the City Hall lights during an emergency. Chief Martin stated that it would cost approximately $50,252 to purchase one capable to maintain the power. Since that cost is over $10,000, bids would have to be taken. He also noted the current generator could be used at one of the pump stations. A cost for setup of this equipment will be obtained. It was noted that Williams Architects oversaw the design of the building. Alderman Kot suggested a post-contract review should be done, as not all of the final work has been completed on City Hall. Mr. Kot suggested that Chief Martin obtain three bids on a new generator. Alderwoman Spears suggested obtaining a cost of having the generator installed over a weekend rather than shutting the city offices down during the week. As a side note to the discussion of the emergency equipment, Alderman Kot noted that during the recent tornado warning at the time of a city meeting, the police personnel had to work upstairs making for unsafe conditions. Chief Martin noted that the T-1 line should be installed next week to alleviate this situation in the future. However, improved computer system screens are still needed in the basement. Chief Martin noted that officers also remain on the street during tornado warnings, to monitor the weather. He is going to purchase a Nextel phone which provides "real-time" weather reports. This would allow him to provide weather conditions instantly to the Mayor and police officers. This item will be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Page 3 of 4 This agenda item was delayed until this point in the meeting 2. PRESENTATION BY OFFICER DAVE DELANEY ON TOTAL STATION Officer Dave Delaney gave a presentation regarding the use of a"total station" by the Police Department. This total station will be used for crash reconstruction, evidence technician collection and forensic mapping. The equipment records distances, grades and elevations by means of a prism and would be used in place of a tape measure. It was also noted that software must be purchased in conjunction with the total station. The data is downloaded into the software and then is printed out on AutoCAD. Officer Delaney stated that this equipment would be very helpful in court. The Sokkia model total station was preferred. Officer Delaney has attended classes on the operation of the equipment, is certified in accident reconstruction and will be taking the State test in the future. During a recent serious accident investigation,the State Police were called to assist with measurements. By purchasing a total station package, Yorkville PD would be capable of taking these electronic measurements. Chief Martin added that two officers who recently completed E.T. classes at Northwestern could also use this equipment. The technology allows for 2- D and 3-D and over 100 points can be gathered with the total station as opposed to 40 an hour with conventional equipment. Several quotes for the total station were obtained by Officer Delaney. The Sokkia package also included training by an instructor who has taught at the FBI. Three to four police personnel would be trained and Officer Delaney would be qualified to assist in training as well. Another feature of the total station is the ability to produce an animated crime scene and a crime scene inside a building could also be re-created. In addition, software for either map scenes or different types of vehicles would come with the Sokkia package. The total cost of the Sokkia package is $9,999 including tax. This equipment could also be used to assist other police departments, which Chief Martin noted, would be beneficial in keeping skills sharpened. These assists are not charged to other agencies, however, they are logged for record-keeping purposes. Chief Martin thanked Alderman Kot for the information about accident reconstruction classes in Springfield rather than Northwestern, which saved the department $5-6,000. The Chief stated there is $15-16,000 in carryover from last year to purchase the total station equipment. Alderman Kot suggested to Chief Martin that the City Attorney should review the bid process. Officer Delaney will check on the delivery time. This item will move forward to C.O.W. Page 4 of 4 6. POLICE REPORTS April police reports were discussed. It was noted there were repeat police calls to certain addresses. Chief Martin noted there were only 23 hours of overtime during each of the previous two pay periods. He attributed that low number to the 12-hour shifts. There was a slight increase during the Memorial Day holiday due to extra patrol and seatbelt checks. This agenda item will move forward to the C.O.W. consent agenda. 7. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Chief Martin stated he would be including on the agenda, letters he receives or sends, for informational purposes. He also noted a flier which was delivered to Fox Hill residents regarding dog regulations. Alderwoman Ohare asked about the status of the cadet program. Officer Jon Helland is still working on the program and this item will be brought to the June meeting. The progress of the investigation room was discussed. It should be completed by the end of June. Alderman Kot noted that a recently arrested individual was not compliant with the sexual offender register. Concern was voiced regarding the close proximity of the offender's home with neighborhood schools. Abandoned cars were also discussed. Chief Martin stated that Building and Zoning checks on vehicles on private property, while the Police Department investigates vehicles parked on streets. Property owners are contacted and asked to legally license vehicles which are on private property. There was no further additional business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:45pm. Minutes respectfully submitted by Marlys Young, Minute Taker Page 1 of 7 UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE REVISED PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING AT COMIITTEE'S THURSDAY,FEBRUARY 26,2004 REQUEST 6:30 P.M. In Attendance: Alderman Larry Kot Alderwoman Valerie Burd Alderwoman Wanda Ohare Alderwoman Rose Spears Police Chief Harold Martin Guests: Officer Dan Pleckham Approval Correction of Minutes: December 17, 2003 These minutes were approved with corrections. Update on Parking Concerns Chief Martin stated that there was a bus parked at Heartland Subdivision that was causing some concern. He said that with the City's current Parking Ordinance, that the bus is parked legally. There have been a few complaints from residents about the bus. He said that he did receive a memo from Attorney Kelly Kramer about the situation. They looked over Parking Ordinances from Batavia, Geneva, and Naperville. In Batavia and Geneva's ordinances they specifically restrict commercial vehicles. Geneva's ordinance says that any vehicle that exceeds 8,000 lbs. can park for a period of only 2 hrs. Batavia prohibits any commercial trucks/vehicles over 4,000 lbs, and they also can park no longer than 2 hrs. They also prohibit the trucks from parking on narrow streets. That would be any street that is 24 feet wide or less. He said that if the Public Safety Committee wants to do something about these types of vehicles parking on the City streets then they will have to make an amendment to the City of Yorkville's current Parking Ordinance. He suggested if they do then it should be similar to Geneva or Batavia's and residents should be made aware of the new amendment because it could cause a burden to those who bring a bus home at night. Alderman Kot said that since there are different situations then they should consider categorizing them. This would prevent penalizing anyone that isn't causing a parking problem with their truck. Chief Martin brought up the parking situation on Somonauk Street of vehicles parking on both sides of the street. This problem has been brought up in the past and they have tried to come up with a solution. This may result in no parking on one side of the street. Page 2 of 7 Alderman Kot thought the greater issue with the parking on Somonauk is the problems it causes around Route 47. He expressed his concern for those who park their cars further away from Route 47, in that they should not be penalized for it. Chief Martin said that they do need to think about what kind of effect that growth will have. He felt that as the town gets larger there may be more commercial vehicles because for some people that is their work vehicle. Though it would be nice to do it for specific areas, it could end up that there are several areas that would eventually subject to the new policy for parking. He also would not like to see every one who parks in the streets penalized for this but felt there are no easy answers here. Alderman Kot asked if there are other ways to solve this problem. He asked if it causes any public safety issues or noise issues. Chief Martin said that there isn't anything in the books about the noise issue. He said that as the City grows parking will become more of an issue. He said that because of what a hindrance these commercial vehicles have caused in the past that he would like to see no parking in the streets at all. He said that in order to get an ordinance for this they would need to receive complaints from residents. This would also cause complaints from the vehicle owners. Either way someone is not going to be happy. Alderman Kot suggested for the Police Department to put together what they think would solve this problem based upon the ordinances of other towns. He felt that that would give them a starting point for discussion at the next Public Safety meeting. This item will come back to the next Public Safety meeting on March 25, 2004. Update on Rt. #126 Traffic Control lights Chief Martin stated that he spoke to Sergeant Ron Diederich about the traffic issues on Route 126. Sgt. Deidrich said that he spoke with Claita Law from IDOT and that the intersection is under consideration for a stop light now. He said he asked her when would be looking at installing the lights and she stated that once she receives word on that intersection she would get back to him with any information. Alderman Kot said that if they haven't heard back with in 6 months, then they should consider doing another traffic count and contact IDOT again on the problem. No action taken on this item at this time. Update on DARE Alderman Kot mentioned that the State is no longer funding the DARE Program and asked Chief Martin if the Police Department intends to continue the program in Yorkville schools. Chief Martin said that as of now the Yorkville Police Department does more DARE Programs than the average police department. They do programs for 3rd5th and 7th Page 3 of 7 graders. He said that it is a very positive program and that the interaction with the police department alone is a plus. Officer Barry Groesch is the demonstrator of most of the DARE classes and has been involved with it for 12 years. Chief Martin said that they have received only positive responses from the classes. He said that he would like to keep the program going though it may cost the City more money down the road to do any more training for future officers. He said that as of now they would need to go to Indiana for training since the Illinois State Police does not fund it any more. He said that they have also changed the curriculum in that they have cut back on classes and focus the training more on what is happening today. The program now has gone from 17 weeks to 10 weeks of training. To do this program now with the funding being cut it will cost the City around $3,500 a year. Plus with the town growing and more students entering the schools it will cost more to pay for the extra books and certificates. He would like to see the program continue if possible. Alderman Kot asked if the program had been factored into the new budget. Chief Martin said that they are waiting to hear back to see if it could be but he also put a little more money in the budget to cover the program for this next year after that they will probably have to have a separate account for it. Alderwoman Spears said that she felt it was worth the money if it meant that they would be able to save at least one kid. Alderman Kot agreed and suggested that the Police Department should issue a press release indicating to the public the Police Department's desire to continue with the DARE Program. Alderwoman Spears asked if there had been a survey done with the kids who had participated with the program. Chief Martin said that Officer Groesch did do a survey and that he would get that from him. Alderwoman Spears thought that would also be a good thing to have documented and released to the public. Chief Martin will bring an update to the next Public Safety Meeting on March 25, 2004. Update on Van Emmon St. & Heustis St. Stop Signs Alderman Kot stated that Public Works Director Eric Dhuse would like to paint a red stop notice on the road leading up to the stop sign located at Van Emmon St. & Heustis St. He said that because of the location of the stop sign and the width of the street some people are confused where to actually stop. Alderman Kot asked Chief Martin if that would help with the problem. Chief Martin said that it is possible that it would help. He also mentioned that Mr. Dhuse has painted red lines on the poles and that seems to also help. Page 4 of 7 Alderman Kot felt that it was worth trying. He said that if this does not appear to be effective then they could put a light out there. There will be an update on this item at a later date when the project is completed and observed. Update on Ponds and Pools Chief Martin said that the memo regarding this item will be put into the next few newsletters and they will wait to see what kind of response they receive. Revised Sampling Ordinance Alderwoman Ohare felt that the number of days in one year should be specified on page 3 in the Special Event, section 1;b. She felt that it wasn't descriptive enough. Chief Martin pointed out that any language that pertains to a special event still has to be approved by Mayor Prochaska. Alderman Kot felt that a change needed to be made to Section 3-3-4(B; f). He thought that they should take out the word ounce and keep only the words one-half ounce or less, as they had previously agreed upon. The committee agreed. He thought that the Liquor Commissioner should also review these changes. This item will to COW March 16, 2004. KenCom Dispatching Services Alderman Kot reported that at the last KenCom executive board meeting that he was approached by Nancy Martin who was also talked to Mayor Prochaska. They are asking all the communities that are being serviced by KenCom to consider beginning chipping in on some of the expenses. He thought that the figure was between $15,000 and $20,000 a year. He told Ms. Martin that he would bring it before this council. He did have a concern that if it's going to happen that everyone is going to need to contribute. It can't just be the City of Yorkville contributing. The representative of Plano went on record and said that they do not have the money to do it. Alderman Kot felt he couldn't see how to justify asking the taxpayers of Yorkville to pay for something another town is getting the same service for and not paying for it. He said that they have a meeting in April and that he would talk to Ms. Martin about his concerns. Alderwoman Ohare thought that it might be fair to ask for a certain percentage per community as some are much larger than others. Alderman Kot did not agree and felt that the contributions should all be equal because every community would have its own dispatcher and it is a great expense. Chief Martin said that they usually go by the percentage of calls received but as far as Yorkville is concerned KenCom might be looking at a stipend type of payment per year and not based on the number of calls. Page 5 of 7 Alderman Kot said that they would need to speak with the County's Operation Budget to get numbers. After that they can bring the numbers forward. He said he would like to be fair with everybody. To set up our own dispatcher would cost a whole lot more money. No action taken on this item at this time. Kendall County Major Crime Task Force Chief Martin stated that he and Dwight Baird went to Sheriff Randall and Plano Chief Eaves to present them with the idea of having a County-wide Major Crime Task Force. The main premise behind it is so that when they have a major crime it would be helpful to call in a group of qualified and certified individuals from different areas of the county to come and assist the Police Departments with these types of crimes. He said that some of the surrounding towns already have these task forces. They are used very sparingly but it is helpful when something goes bad like a murder or bank robbery, where there is not enough man power to deal with the situation. It is especially crucial to have these types of task forces when time is of the essence to get the crime resolved. It also makes so the other officers are able to carry on with their day to day jobs with out taking time and attention away from that. He would like to see the qualified people get certified for these types of task forces so that they can be properly trained and ready for the situations when they come up. When these situations would come up then the qualified task force members from the surrounding communities could assist us and there would be an agreement for the service to be reciprocated when the other communities need assistance from us also. He said that as the town grows there would be more of a need for these task forces. He said that they are still working out all of the details but that within a month they should have a working agreement. At that time he would request that the committee go forth with the plans then take it to the City Council for approval. This item will come back to the next Public Safety meeting on March 25, 2004. Request for Second K-9 for Department Chief Marin stated that they officially got the request from Officer Andy Jeleniewski for a second K-9. The dog was given to Officer Jeleniewski from South Holland but had originally come from a Cook County Corrections office. He would like to bring the dog to Yorkville. The dog is almost 6 years old and could work until he is any where from 9 to 10 years old. After that time the dogs are usually retired. There would be no charge to change the squad car to accommodate the dog's safety harness and cage unit. Officer Jeleniewski and Officer Dan Pleckham are working on a fund raiser for donations for the expenses for the dog. They have already worked out possible deals with area veterinarians. The officers are also working on donations for dog food. He said that they really wouldn't need much in the way of donations because deals worked out with the veterinarians but there would be some things that they would charge for. The only other thing would be a stipend that would go to Officer Jeleniewski for taking care of the dog. By law the City is required to give the officer a stipend to cover the costs of maintaining the dog. Currently Officer Pleckham gets $3,000 a year for maintaining care for Jumbo. Chief Martin felt it would not only be beneficial to have another dog in the Police Page 6 of 7 Department but also for the City of Yorkville. Jumbo has been a great dog to have and is great with kids. Sammy the new dog is of the same in that respect. He works well with people. He has participated in a number of block parties and school demonstrations. It is great for the community and police department. The dog would be available on off shifts with the officer working different shifts. This would be for the cost of a squad car and the stipend of$3,000 a year. The dog, a German Shepherd, is used for Friendly Tracking. The committee gave approval to move ahead with this item. This item will go to COW on March 2, 2004. Program idea for officers to meet with Business Owners and Citizens Officer Pleckham of the Yorkville Police Department explained to the committee that this summer he would like to see some officers meet with the public and business owners so that they can become more familiarized with the public and vice versa. He said that the department would choose an officer and advertise in the news paper a profile on the officer/new officer, his specialties and hobbies and which business the officer would be visiting. This would allow the public the opportunity to get to meet officers and ask questions and get to know the business owners as well. He said that he has already spoken with Bill Walsh of Pro Golf in Yorkville and a Union Bank representative and they are enthusiastically willing to have an officer there. Alderwoman Wanda Ohare asked if the officers are okay with the idea. Officer Pleckham said that he has already spoken with the other officers and 3 have said they would be willing to participate. He said that it wouldn't cost any over time because everyone is working on their regular shift. The meetings at the businesses would only be for 45 minutes as long as there are enough officers out on the streets. Alderman Kot had some concerns with emergencies that might come up that could hinder the officer from showing up at the business. Officer Pleckham said that he was looking at having the visits on a monthly basis and the visits to be on a Saturday morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Times could be alternated if needed to suit the officers schedules. He said that there is usually not as much traffic or activity going on at that time on a Saturday morning. He felt that if the officers did have to leave the meeting in the case of an emergency people would generally understand. Alderman Kot suggested for Officer Pleckham to set up a tentative schedule of the visits, themes and officers and bring back to the Public Safety Committee for review. He felt that they would need to be careful how they publicize the officers; for instance no personal information should be given out. He would also like to make sure that the meetings would not interfere with the Mayor's schedule. He thought it was a good idea and a way for interaction between the public and officers to meet one another. Page 7 of 7 Officer Pleckham said he would get the schedule together and bring it back to the next meeting. This item will come back to the next Public Safety meeting on March 25, 2004. Police Reports—January 2004 Chief Martin stated that the number of seatbelt citations went up in December because of the new click-it or ticket program. He said that winter is usually the slowest time of the year for giving out citations and warnings. He said that the officers are working hard at their job. Officer Jon Helland is directing a couple of different programs at the high school dealing with seatbelt issues. Officer Barry Groesch is also involved with it. There are also officers involved with the car seat program for installing child restraint seats. They get these important safety issues out to the public by means of news letters and neighborhood watch meetings. He said they have worked with Wal-Mart to help with donations for the child restraint seats. This allows for a new car seat to be donated to those citizens who cannot afford to purchase one for their child. This item will go on the Consent Agenda at the next COW on March 2, 2004. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS: Chief Martin mentioned that Officer Helland will be attending the School Resource Officers School (SRO) classes in April in Phoenix, Arizona. He said that they do have money already budgeted for expenses. He said that the school only contributes to registration fees. Chief Martin will send a memo to committee members when he receives information of the total expenses. There was no extra additional business. Meeting adjourned: 8:20 P.M. Minutes by Theresa Brady Page 1 of 5 UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING POLICE DEPARTMENT CONFERENCE ROOM THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23.2003 6:30 P.M. IN ATTENDANCE: Mayor Art Prochaska Alderwoman Rose Spears Alderman Larry Kot Police Chief Harold Martin Alderman Paul James Alderman Rich Sticka Alderwoman Wanda Ohare (left at 7:00 p.m.) City Attorney Kelly Kramer GUESTS: Officer Stacey Friddle Yorkville Resident, Terri Brady This meeting was called to order at 6:40 p.m. APPROVAL/CORRECTION OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 28, 2003 The Committee accepted the minutes of August 28, 2003 with corrections as discussed in this meeting. FISH PONDS/REFLECTION POOLS Terri Brady, a resident/parent in Yorkville was present at this meeting to express her concern with a neighbor who has a reflection pool with size and depth that exceeds the requirements. She is also concerned that the electrical components that have been installed at the floor of the pond may present both a drowning and an electrical hazard to small children in her neighborhood(including her own child). She is concerned that this neighbor may not have received an electrical permit to ensure its proper function. Mr. Dettmer confirmed that no permit was sought. He believes that residents may not even be aware of this requirement. Ms. Brady is also concerned that there are no building codes in existence requiring fencing around ponds. Alderman Kot asked Bill Dettmer of the Department of Building Safety and Inspections to give his input on this issue that has come up several times in past Safety Meetings. Mr. Dettmer stated that as part of his research, he called other municipalities inquiring about their allowable depth of fish ponds and reflection pools for both public and private properties. It is the intention of the City to draw up an ordinance to ensure enforcement of future ponds that are installed. It is Mr. Dettmer recommendation that this ordinance be written as a stand-alone ordinance, and not an amendment to an existing building code. He stated that existing ponds would not be affected since enforcement of any law Page 2 of 5 cannot be retroactive. The current Building Code deals exclusively with swimming pool structures -not man-made ponds or reflection pools. Currently the only requirement is that electrical permits be taken out for those wishing to install electrical components for fountains and waterfalls used in their ponds. This is the only way the City can monitor the required size of the pond which is not to exceed 250 square feet in size and 24 inches in depth. Currently, there is no way of knowing if the City's ordinance is being enforced. After much discussion at a recent International Code Meeting, Mr. Dettmer found that current building codes that the City adopted are not designed to deal with reflective ponds or pools; it only covers the safety of the structures of swimming pools. In spite of lack of enforcement, fortunately, no tragedies have been reported. The Mayor indicated that policies must be explicitly written to defme every aspect of what is allowed with respect to ponds and reflection pools. It was Alderman Kot's recommendation that a Newsletter be sent out to the community educating them of the dangers and the safety requirements involved when electrical components are added to retention ponds and reflection pools. He also recommended that an article be placed in the paper alerting property owners of the same. This, he believes, will allow feedback from the community. Mr. Dettmer agreed to write this article and present it for review at the next Public Safety meeting scheduled for November 20, 2003. POLICE REPORTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2003 September 2003's Police Reports were reviewed by the committee members. Officer Stacey Friddle stated that she regularly gives safety presentations to the community to cover issues such as identity theft, credit card fraud and mail theft. The Police Chief commended Officer Friddle on her informative presentations. PART-TIME OFFICERS STATUS Police Chief Harold Martin indicated that part-time Officer Holman is moving to Florida at the end of October. It was recommended to the Committee to offer a full time position to part-time Officer Jim Presnack who is currently number one on the list of thirty-six eligible officers. Four positions have been filled with a fifth position still needing to be filled, according to the Police Chief It was unanimously agreed at this committee to fill this vacant position. With respect to the decision to appoint a new Sergeant, this will be decided upon by Chief Martin at a November 3rd meeting. The list of eligible officers will be reviewed at that time. Upon Alderwoman Spears' inquiry of salary reviews, the Police Chief upgrades salaries of part time officers by a pre-determined percentage on an annual basis. NEW WORLD SYSTEM -POLICE SOFTWARE This records management software for law enforcement agencies, called New World System, was discussed briefly at the Technology Meeting of October 22, 2003. Kendall County is utilizing this system, as well as the town of Oswego. This is a mobile Page 3 of 5 technological system that requires computers in each police car to enable officers to search records of possible offenders at each traffic stop. According to the Chief, the current "PIPS" system is not user-friendly, and several issues with the programming of this system have arisen. The cost for the new software and hardware for this type of network runs in the $115,000-$120,000 range. This system would allow hook up to, and a sharing of, vital records with the Kendall County system already in place. The stand- alone system which runs around $60,000-$70,000 is a read-only database, and was researched by City Administrator Anton Graff before he left his position as police chief. The Police Chief stated that he is only introducing this topic at this time so it does not present itself as a surprise when he formally addresses this Committee again to request the funding for improved software in 1-1-1/2 years. The Chief estimates the cost to be $90,000-$100,000 with hook up to the County's system. Currently, he is reviewing feedback from the County to see how their new system is working. Various funding options were discussed, such as the possibility of Homeland Security funds or other grants. The possibility of donations was also discussed. The Chief intends to look into this. Further,the Chief stated that the City would incur an annual maintenance fee of $10,000-$11,000 for the proposed system. Alderman Kot recommended that this issue be brought back again to next month's Public Safety Meeting to allow committee members to review the literature handed out on the New World System Record Management Software. SERVER& ROUTER LOCATED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL As per Memo from Police Chief Martin, he is requesting releasing the server, router and work station to Yorkville High School. This was purchased as part of a federal grant for joint usage with the school district. The Mayor stated that only the policy needs to be reviewed to determine its value in order to dispose of this, according to the guidelines of the grant, which has run four years and is closed out. It was unanimously agreed to place on the next Committee of the Whole meeting for review. UNLOCKING VEHICLES POLICY This issue was reviewed due to the City's potential risk of being liable for damages when police officers assist in unlocking vehicles. Attorney Kelly Kramer cites one such incident that occurred recently, where a vehicle was allegedly damaged. She recommended drafting a standard "hold harmless" waiver(in a letter format) which will require signature by vehicle owner before vehicle can be unlocked. Alderman Kot will be faxing to Attorney Kramer a standard draft currently in use. She agreed to bring this back to the next Public Safety Committee for review. REPLACEMENT OF DARE CAR Police Chief Harold Martin stated that one of the squad cards (a 1998 Crown Victoria) has been decommissioned and placed with Officer Barry Groesch and Sgt. Ron Diederich to turn it into the City's new DARE car. He expects it to take approximately a year for them to complete this project. Currently, estimates are being obtained for installation of a new police radio, a hydraulic system and paint. These are the only expenses he foresees. Page 4 of 5 Many other items such as wheels will be donated, and if possible, certain items from the old car can be transferred to the new one. The Chief knows that available funds exist in the drug account. Alderman Kot raised the question of soundness and mileage of the car that was selected. Chief Martin assured him that this car was carefully selected based upon its mechanical soundness, in spite of its high mileage. Alderman Kot inquired if vehicles seized in drug seizures could be used. Stacey Friddle's response was that now that drug dealers are aware that seizure of their car is a consequence to a drug bust,they're more likely to use older,junk cars. Both Police Chief and Mayor Prochaska stated the importance of maintaining this program for its educational purposes and for the valuable interaction that occurs between school age children and the police department. REPAIR AND INSTALL OLD DOWNTOWN SIREN Mayor Prochaska indicated that when the proposed new budget was discussed with Tracy Pleckham and Anton Graff, he believes that dollars will be available to repair and install the old downtown siren. It was the Mayor's suggestion that a meeting be set up to invite department heads to be part of the decision process involving this issue. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS Mayor Prochaska brought up a letter he received from a Yorkville resident who had been previously reported as being in a crisis situation. The officer who responded to the call, believed her to be a potential danger to herself. An ambulance was called; she was taken to the hospital. Due to her financial circumstances, she is asking to be relieved of her ambulance and hospital bills. Health and Human Services was contacted by Police Chief Martin to see if they could assist her with this. As the Mayor stated, this indigent person who was already depressed over her financial situation now has the compounded problems of trying to pay these additional bills. As a result of this situation, the Mayor would like a policy put together to develop a closer relationship between the various social services and the county health department so that officers are never placed in a position of having to make the determination of a person's mental state. Mayor would like to see the Police Department have available to all its officers' crisis hotline numbers and/or local counselors who are on-call for this purpose. It was recommended by the Chief that this issue be reviewed by his department and intends to bring it up again in a month or two at a future Public Safety Committee meeting. The Mayor stated that pedestrian walkways have been looked at for safe routes. They found that sidewalks on Mill Street were considered safe for walking. He would like this to be reviewed before the next budget year. He is asking the Committee to give their recommendations for other safe sidewalks. Alderman Kot indicated that previously, discussions of making Fox Street a safe walkway was brought up. The Mayor stated that the sidewalk and the handrails along the retention wall along Route 47 are in desperate need of repair. Another area in need of repair was the near the old Safari store along the Countryside Parkway to Jewel. Page 5 of 5 Officer Friddle presented to the Committee various price quotes and maintenance cost comparisons of various cargo-type vans that will be used for the City's evidence tech van. The various options available were also brought up, including rear heat for the purpose of working on evidence in the back of the van. The Mayor stated that funding for this would be available as part of an inter-county agreement.

The class lunch was catered by Rosati's Restaurant where lasagna, salad, and breadsticks were served. The Yorkville Chamber of Commerce graciously provided the funds for this meal. The Yorkville Citizens Police Academy Alumni assisted by supplying sodas and the manpower to serve the meal. There were eight participants including one from O.J.'s Tap, two from Osco, two from Little Joe's, and three from Happy Hour Harry's. All students were interactive and the class was very successful in appreciating and deciphering the curriculum but equally important we helped foster a working relationship with the personnel and their place of employment. All participants completed the requirements and are state BASSET qualified. JUL 0 6 2004 ON Yorkville Police Department Memorandum 804 Game Farm Road _T : lls,36.

Hilt #206 Reference: Possible cover being placed over the drainpipe in Fox Hill by baseball field. Chief, On Friday, July 2nd, I handled a call from a concerned citizen in Fox Hill about children playing in the large drainpipe that starts in the open field by the baseball field. Upon my arrival, I found two (2) bicycles and a scooter near the opening. I saw five male juveniles watching my actions as a started to collect the bicycles and scooter, and eventually the five male juveniles from the neighborhood approached me and told me the bicycles and scooter belonged to them. I asked them if they had been playing inside the drainpipe and they told me they had been. I asked them how far the drainpipe goes, and they told me at least to Aspen Ln. I advised them to stay out of the drainpipe, and told them to tell their friends to stay out of the drainpipe. I then contacted Matt Seng from Public Works to see about putting a cover over the entrance. He told me he would contact Eric Duese and get back to me. A short time later I was advised that the entrance to the pipe was too large, and any type of cover would still not keep the kids from getting in it. I feel this uncovered drainpipe is a hazard and should be covered with some type of steel grate cover so the drainpipe could still serve its purpose and also keep the neighborhood kids out of the drainpipe.

Attached is a complete breakdown of the total man-hours as it pertains to certain types of service calls a cadet could handle rather than a sworn-officer. The total hours figured was 1367.42. Now this is not an exact number due to certain factors like time of day occurred and frequency of current calls. If a sworn-officer were to handle these calls of service, the officer had a bachelor's degree with more than three years of service and it was at regular pay ($23.53 @ hour) it would cost the city approximately $32,175.39 in payroll. Now if a cadet were to handle these ($8.00 @ hour) it would cost the city approximately $10,939.36 in payroll, for a savings of $21,236.03. This would effect both payroll and productivity in the manner that the tasks are being done at a lower pay rate, plus it makes your sworn-officer free to be more productive in the areas of crime preventative patrol and traffic safety patrol.

Essentially the Village of Mokena has simply stated that they will not issue a liquor license to a petroleum station, but does not have any prohibition against the same stated in their Liquor Ordinance. I would not recommend that the United City of Yorkville follow the Village of Mokena's policy of the distribution of liquor licenses to petroleum stations in that the Village of Mokena fails to find a specific public safety hazard against the sale at that specific location. I believe that a policy similar to the Village of Mokena would open the City to liability. I will continue to research the issue to determine if a policy regarding the same can be enacted. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss the matter further please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, • 6qp....___- Kelly A.

UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE To: Harold Martin, Chief of Police From: Joe Wywrot, City Engineer Subject: Senior Drivers Safety Initiativrant Date: July 19, 2004 Attached find a copy of an email letter from the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) regarding the grant request we sent to the Northeastern Illinois Area Agency on Aging. We had requested funding for public sidewalk in the vicinity of Routes 34/47, and also along Route 47 from Garden Street to Elizabeth Street. We have been awarded a preliminary amount of$1900 to begin construction. The IDOA has suggested, however, that we use these funds on signage or crosswalks instead of sidewalk. I request that the Police Department identify areas where these types of improvements might best be put to use. We are supposed to follow the guidelines in the attached "Florida Elder Road User Program" in making improvements. Please respond at your earliest convenience.

This is to notify you that we were able to access a small amount of Department funding to begin to meet the City of Yorkville's initial request that you sent me in a letter dated March 26, 2004.Therefore, your agency will receive the amount of$1,900.00 for use by your agency to assist the City of Yorkville to install signage/markings,timing of cross walks, and better lighting, etc, I hope this small amount of funding will help you initiate your project, in conjunction with the priorities you and Yorkville officials have identified for the intersection selected for improvement to help seniors and the population as a whole. Please use the "Florida Elder Road User Program" that I faxed to you on June 24, 2004,as a guide,in conjunction with this community's road engineers for the installation of the signs, etc. Upon completion of the signs, etc. installation,we request a brief report about what was accomplished,the itemized cost for the intersection that was improved for the funding received, any activities and/or informational materials disseminated to notify seniors and the general public about the new signs placement and possibly a picture of them at the intersection in Yorkville so that we may document how this funding was spent to initiate your project. Per our discussion on Friday,July 2,2004,the June 29, 2004 fax you sent me only included Yorkville's estimates for improvements and installation of sidewalks. Since this is such a small amount of funding, we request that Yorkville spend it on simple,inexpensive ways such as signs,etc. and not the installation of concrete sidewalks. Based on your discussions with Yorkville officials,please call me and let me know what they decided to spend this funding for. Please be assured your agency will continue to be a participant in this senior drivers safety initiative and the grant we have written. We will continue to seek out and do our very best to access grant funds to complete the Yorkville project. As you proceed,please call me with any questions you may have.

Section 6.1 FLORIDA'S ELDER ROAD USER PROGRAM �� o 6.1.1 PURPOSE • °tea -•. •. /..." • In 1991 the Central Traffic Engineering Office was directed by the Se eta f - Transportation to develop a Plan for an elder roadway user program in - arida. directive, in recognition of the special needs of the fastest growing segmen the - population, began a program to redefine the.design driver in the State of Florida he/ following plan describes the development and continuation of this program. 6.1.2 BACKGROUND • (1) The increasing needs of elder road users have become more apparent as a greater proportion of our nation's motorists fall into the 65 or older age group. Research has proven that the natural aging process results in a steady decrease in the abilities needed to perform the driving task. The effect of aging upon vision, hearing, coordination, range of movement,,strength, attentiveness and response time have been well documented through research activities over the past decade. (2) Concern over how these limitations affect motorists ultimately resulted in the preparation of the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) Special Report 218, "Transportation in.an Aging Society," in 1988.This report was the first to • summarize mobility concerns, the problems older drivers have with vehicle • operation, and.current highway design deficiencies related to older driver abilities. • The report presents recommendations for corrective Improvements In several areas including those we categorize as engineering improvements: Roadway design and operation, • . Traffic control devices (signs, signals and markings) 6,1.3 FHWA FOLLOW-UP The Federal Highway Administration supported the TRB's recommendations and developed an action plan to implement the highway-related recommendations of the report. Their "Act)on Plan for Older Persons," dated February 1989, was developed into a high priority . program called, 'improved Highway Travel for an Aging Population,"• Part of this program is the familiar Older Driver Pilot Program sin which Florida participated along with several other states. Florida's Eider Road User Program 6-1-1 Jul 20 04 08: 15a Northeastern IL ARA 630-293-7488 p. 4 0E124/2004 09: 39 2177851564 IDDA (OAS - BPPM) PAGE 03 Topic No.750-000-005 March 1999 Traffic Engineering Manua! Elder Road U6er Program 6.1.4 FLORIDA DOT The Department's Elder Roadway User Program built upon the research and findings of those who have gone before. By establishing revised standards and specifications for traffic control devices and applications based on the abilities of the average older person,we are modifying our highway transportation system to be safer for this special population. • 6.1.5 THE ELDER ROADWAY USER-TRAINING (1) To identify the special needs of the eider roadway user, the Central Traffic Engineering Office began a literature search to identify and obtain the latest, rnost comprehensive information on older drivers. To provide Department personnel with the latest educational background, we sponsored the first session the National Highway Institute(NHi) Course No. 13353, 'Improved Highway Travel • Considerations for an Aging Population." Harold Lunenfeld, the author and instructor, is a national expert in this field and.provided early suggestions in the development of Florida's plan. (2) This course is recommended for all personnel involved in roadway design and the design and application of traffic control devices. It focuses on the needs of drivers within the context of the aging process, discussing the problems associated with • diminishing capabilities and relating them to the driving task. The mobility needs of the older road-user as well as special safety considerations and compensatory behavior are discussed. Current design standards are evaluated in light of the abilities of the older person, and strategies for mitigating these problems are reviewed. . • 6.1.6 HUMAN FACTORS.RESEARCH The FHWA Office of Safety and Traffic Operations has been working on several projects to identify older driver/pedestrian needs and recommend improvements to accommodate those needs. The Central Traffic Engineering Office will stay abreast of all current research and adopt appropriate standards to implement these findings. 6.1.7 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION To implement the Elder Roadway User Program in the shortest amount of time, the improvements were separated into two categories: (1) Short-term Improvements. Those that could be implemented by maintenance forces or specialty contracts in the shortest time, and ultimately included in all • construction contracts. • 6.1-2 • Florida's Elder Road Usor Program Jul 20 04 08: 16a Northeastern IL ARA 630-293-7488 p. 5 06/24/2004 09: 39 2177851564 IDDA (DAS - BPPM) PAGE 04 • Topic No.750-000-005 Traffic Engineering Manual March 1899 Elder Road User Program • • (2) Long-term Improvements. Those that would require a lead.time for design and funding, and would be accomplished through construction contracts following a change to design standards. 6.1.8 SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS The short-term improvements were immediately started. Instructions were transmitted to District Traffic Operations Offices to.locate specific improvements at intersections and roadway links on the State Highway System. Other improvements were made statewide • through maintenance activities. A discussion of each short term .Improvement follows below. 6.1.8.1 • Reflective Pavement Markers (1) The increased use of reflective pavement markers (RPMs) was the most effective short term improvement. RPMs provide increased delineation of the intended travel path during darkness or rainy conditions, when visibility is most difficult for the elderly. (2) The DOT specification was modified.to require 40 foot spacing on all segments of the State Highway System. RPM spacing of 20 feet is used for sharp curves and 200 feet in advance of the stop bar on multi-lane, signalized intersections. • 6.1.8.2 Overhead Street Name Signs (1) The use of large lettering on overhead street name signs at signalized intersections increases intersection safety by allowing the older driver to identify the cross street earlier and to devote more time to concentrating on vehicle maneuvers. The effect of this improvement is apparent during boat`daylight and night operations. (2) Overhead street name signs used throughout the state should have 10.67-inch Series E modified upper case and 8-inch lower case letters. Where long street • names preclude this size, 8-inch Series C letter height may be used. The practical • limit on overall sign size is 18 x 72 inches. 6,1.8.3 Wider Pavement Markings • The pavement marking specification was modified to require 6-inch wide lines, statewide for all applications. Compliance with the new standard began immediately through maintenance striping activities and contract Maintenance. Wide pavement markings more clearly delineate the travel path for the older driver travelling during the night.

Advance signing allows the older driver time to select the appropriate lane before encountering'short gaps close to the intersection. Initially advance intersection signs were installed at major intersections with significant traffic, now, they should be used wherever needed. See Section 6.3 of this manual for guidelines on the application of these signs. • • 6.1.8.5 Improved Pedestrian Crossings • (1) Pedestrian crossings at signalized intersections directly affect the safety and mobility • of the older population. Often; highway improvements constructed to increase capacity and upgrade level of service have a detrimental effect upon the pedestrian. Adding lanes increases the distances that must be traversed by the pedestrian. • (2) Pedestrian crossings used frequently by older pedestrians should use high emphasis crosswalks, slower walk speeds for signal timing (3 to 4 ft/sec)and increase the use of refuge islands. 6.1.8.6 improve Work Zone Safety • (1) The work zone is the most hazardous situation an older driver can encounter. Although Florida is among•the leaders in the nation on workzone safety • development, specific practices can be followed to better accommodate the older driver. Delineation of the intended travel path andcorrect driver actions are the most . important factors to consider. • • (2) Work zone pavement markings should be supplemented with temporary reflective pavement markers to increase delineation. Advance warning signs must be located in accordance with approved procedures and field verified on a regular basis, for effectiveness. Signs and barricades must be better maintained to provide the best • visibility and retroreflectivity. It is the responsibility of the project engineer to ensure improved standards are met. ' 6.1.9 LONG TERM IMPROVEMENTS • (1) The long term improvement category will require the greatest amount of time in this project. Specific long-term.Improvements will be continually evaluated, criteria established and design'standards revised for their application.

Elder Road User program (2) Current emphasis areas are sign visibility, improved advance notice and improved _ • intersection techniques. 6.1.10 SIGN VISIBILITY (1) STOP, YIELD, and Warning Signs. We selected 20/70 vision as the design acuity due to the fact that this is the minimum corrected visual acuity allowed in Florida for a drivers license(which will accommodate 97 percent of elders). Current MUTCD sign • sizes accommodate 20/40 vision,which is used as the licensing standard in 41 states. . (2) Our recommended new sign sizes for STOP, YIELD, and Warning signs appear in . . Section 6.2 of this manual. (3) STOP and STOP AHEAD,Signs. The symbol STOP AHEAD sign should be used as a supplement to the STOP sign for speeds of 45 mph or greater on the State Highway System. A person with 20/70 vision cannot recognize a STOP sign until he is closer than the required stopping sight distance.' (4) RiGHT LANE ENDS. Some warning signs, such as this one will not provide for 20/ 70 acuity even in the lamest size. In these cases we recognize our limitations and • specify the largest size, however, if a symbol sign can be used - use it, (5) Guide Sign Considerations. Larger lettering is needed for guide signs, but how large Is a trade off. As letter size is increased to accommodate poor vision, the sign • size increases dramatically. For example, a sign to accommodate 20/25 vision would be 1.25 times larger, than one for 20/20 vision; a sign for 2D/40 vision would be 2.00 times larger. New standards for guide signs are currently under study. 6.1.11 PROVIDE ADVANCE NOTICE • (1) Advance Lane Assignment Signs. These signs help reduce last minute decisions and lane changes just before en intersection or entrance ramp. (2) Advance lane assignment signs should be used on 6-lane.approaches to intersections to delineate the turrvthrough lanes and on all approaches to freeway entrances where a left turn is required. (3) Supplemental Pavement Markings. Sign messages that provide advance notice can be supplemented with lane assignment pavement arrows and messages. Pavement arrows that indicate through and turn lanes should be installed as far back from the intersection or ramp as possible.

By simplifying intersection operation and improving sight distance for traffic turning off the mainline roadway we can improve safety. However, these techniques should be considered with other factors on a case by case basis. (2) Offset Left Turn Lane. Involvement in left crashes increases steadily after we pass the age of 29, when our visual and cognitive abilities start to reduce. By the time we reach elder status, we have difficulty judging the speed of approaching vehicles and selecting acceptable gaps. Under such conditions, unobstructed sight distance is. By offsetting the turn lanes we can increase the visibility of opposing through lanes. (3) Offset (non-opposing) left turn lanes should be installed when intersections are improved and right-of-way can be obtained. This will occur at more rural intersections • where cross•street volumes are lower, minimizing the impact of a wider intersection. • (4) Offset Right Turn Lane.A slightly different situation occurs where there is a heavy right turn movement (particularly trucks) and these vehicles block the vision of the side street traffic. By moving the turn lane farther to the right, sometimes providing a • • physical separation between the turn lane and the through lanes, sight distance is • improved. • 6.1.13 MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS • (1) One of the difficult elements of this type of program is in determining how effective it . is. During the Elder Road User Pilot Project, user surveys and crash records were used to evaluate the short term improvements. (2) These techniques will be used again along with a new concept called the signing effectiveness study. This study will involve pre-selecting a route from a map and attempting to drive it as an elderly non-familiar motorist. Control sections will also be selected over which we will conduct very close examinations of before/after crash records. . • • • • • • • 6-1-6 Florida's Elder Road User Program Jul 20 04 08: 17a Northeastern IL ARA 630-293-7488 p. 9 06/24/2B04 09:39 2177851564 IDDA (OAS - BPPM) PAGE 08 Topic No.750-000-005 Traffic Engineering Manual March 1999 Elder Road User Program Section 6.2 WARNING, STOP, AND YIELD SIGN SIZES TO ACCOMMODATE THE ELDER ROADWAY USER IN FLORIDA 6.2.1 INTRODUCTION (1) Warning, STOP, and YIELD signs are critical to the safe operation of motor vehicles by all drivers. However, elder drivers as a group have poorer eyesite and reaction time and reduced visual acuity is associated with repeat crash rates. In order to determine the appropriate sizes that should be used for these critical signs, the Central Traffic Engineering Office performed a study. (2) Statistics at the time of the study did not allow a good determination of a design visual acuity. However, the minimum required corrected visual acuity for a driver's license in Florida is 20/70. This value was selected as the design visual acuity goal for these critical signs. Based on this design goal, the required sizes of Warning; STOP, and YIELD signs were determined. (3) These required sign sizes should be installed in all counties of the state, during future projects, and as replacements are necessary due to sign damage or expiration of useful sign life. 6.2.2 RECOMMENDED WARNING SIGN SIZES (1) The recommended symbol warning sign sizes in Table 6.2.1 provide a minimum of 20/70 acuity.

When this occurs, the largest sign that will fit shall be used. (4) For any sign providing less than 20170 acuity there will be less legibility distance, and therefore less time to perceive and understand the message before passing the sign. However, by adding the following additional distances to the sign placement distances shown in Table ll-I, A Guide for advance Warning Sign Placement Distance, in Section 2C-3 of the MUTCD, the same total distance from the point where the sign is just legible to the condition will be maintained. • Add 25 feet for 8-inch Series C and 8-inch Series D letters; 50 feet for 5-inch Series D, 6-inch Series C, and 6-inch Series D letters; and 75 feet for 5-inch Series C letters. 6.2.3 RECOMMENDED STOP SIGN SIZES • (1) The 48-inch STOP sign provides a minimum required acuity of only 20/45. in addition, use of the larger STOP signs, in areas with restricted right-of-way, may present problems. installation of the STOP AHEAD symbol warning sign will alleviate both of these problems. (2) Table 6.2-3 was produced to determine the required size for the STOP and • STOP AHEAD sign, and the sign placement distance for the STOP AHEAD sign. (3) The stopping sight distance shown in the table above were calculated using the equation on Page 123 of AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design for Highways and Streets (Green Book, 1994 edition), and is for level, wet pavement. The brake reaction time was increased from 2.5 to 3.5 seconds to accommodate elder drivers. • (4) Both the stopping sight distance and the STOP AHEAD sign placement distance should be increased to compensate for longer stopping sight distance on downgrades. (5) The increase due to downgrades as steep as 6 percent does not change the .results in Table 6.2-3 for speeds up to and including 35 mph. Table 6.2-4 gives the required additional distance due to downgrade. This increase should be added to both the stopping sight distance and the STOP AHEAD sign placement • distance in Table 6.2-3. • (6) The STOP AHEAD symbol,sign should be placed according to Table 6,2-3, rather than Table 11-1, A Guide for Advance Warning Sign Placement Distance, in Section 2C-.3 of the MUTCD for Condition B (Stop). The 36-inch size sign has 141 foot legibility for 20/70 acuity, which is greater than the required 125 feet. • Warning,Stop,and Yield Sign Sizes to Accornrnodete • 8-2-3 the Elder Roadway User in Florida Jul 20 04 08: 18a Northeastern IL RAR 530-293-7488 p. 12 06/24/2004 09:39 2177851564 IDGA (OAS - BPPM) PAGE 11 Topic No.750-000-005 March 1999 Traffic Engineering Manual Elder Road User Program . 7abte.'644 . 1, _•• STOP AND STOP AHEAD SIGN SIZES AND PLACEMENT DESIGN STOPPING STOP STOP SIGN STOP AHEAD STOP AHEAD SIGHT SIGN RECOGNITION SIGN SPEED SYMBOL SIGN DISTANCE SIZE' DISTANCE PLACEMENT (mph) SIZE2(inches) • (ft) (inches) (20/70)(ft) DISTANCE (ft) 20 • 150 24 178 - -- • 25 200 30 222 30 250 36 267 36' 125' 35 300 36 267 36' 175' 45 450 36 267 36 325 50 650 48 356 36 425 • 55 625 48 356 36 500 'If needed for restricted sight t>;stancs locations in urban areas.
