Four -Way Stop at Main and Michigan City Manager Schwab, recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of a four-way stop and to work closely with Riverside County to have the signs installed as soon as possible. In the event the signs are not installed within sixty days, Grand Terrace will properly mark and install a four-way stop. Councilmember Pfennighausen, felt that 60 days is too long. She indicated that she could support the resolution because it does not state a specific amount of time. Mayor Matteson, felt that Riverside should be given time to place their sign before we take action; that he has been working with Supervisor Younglove, and we should give them some time. Councilmember Singley, agreed that 60 days is a long time and indicated that he would support the resolution if staff reports to Council regularly as to the progress of Riverside County. City Manager Schwab, indicated that the resolution needs to be approved so that he will have authorization to place the stop signs when Riverside has the approval to place theirs. CC-89-175 MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SINGLEY, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER CARLSTROM, CARRIED 4-0-1-0 (MAYOR PRO TEM GRANT ABSENT), to approve the resolution with an additional section that reads, "City staff will be directed to place the stop signs when Riverside has the approval to place theirs." rl Council Minutes - 08/31/89 Page 3 ORDER OF ADJOURNMENT Mayor Matteson adjourned the Adjourned Regular City Council meeting at 7:00 p.m., until the next Regular City Council/CRA meeting, which is scheduled to be held Thursday, September 14, 1989.
