Steve Bish, TSAC Commissioner who lives on Castle Hi11s Dr, was under
the impression, this issue was solved a few years ago and that the no
parking signs would be place on the right side the side of the street only.

Jack Mitchell shared history that the Fire Marshal and PD Chief came out
inspected the area and said that there needed to be "No Parl~ing" on both
side of the street. With parking on bath side you couldn't get a fire truck
~ down that street I would concede to no parking on one side of the street,
but don't take all the parking away. City Engineer asked what are the real
objectives here to do away with the signs, move the signs and added that
generally no parking signs are places when there is a hazard. City
Engineer suggested this item be moved to September agenda. Motion
made by Michael Goos and seconded by Debbie Stone to move item to
September 2010 meeting. All Ayes ~ Motion passed.
