BACKGROUND: The existing, old section of the current code is likely an out-of-date remnant city code. The current ordinance §72.34 Parking Signs or Curb Markings Required, - states that "whenever a provision of the chapter prohibits parking times on a street or part of a street, it shall be the duty of the traffic superintendent to erect appropriate signs or to paint appropriate curb markings on such streets or part of streets giving notice thereof, and no such regulations shall be effective unless such signs are erected or such curb markings are painted and in place on the side or sides of the street or part of street when parking time is limited or prohibited. " DISCUSSION: The cost of paint and staff time to regularly paint restricted areas throughout the entire city could be significant without an ordinance change. Additionally, the ascetics of all city streets to be painted should such an ordinance like restricted parking in front of mailboxes be passed could cause yellow and red paintings that visually negatively impact our Ozark Mountain natural neighborhood settings. We recommend giving the Traffic Superintendent the flexibility using their best judgement. This would allow them to determine in areas of extensive traffic or high pedestrian usage, or fire hydrant access, where markings for safety should be considered and placed — markings could be done. In other areas such as of stop signs on residential streets, or mailboxes areas in neighborhoods, the Traffic Superintendent would have the flexibility to waive the painting of those areas. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The budget impact of regular painting all areas and routinely conducting this activity annually could be financially significant in both staff time and paint supplies. This would allow the city to only incur those cost where required for clarity and safety purposes. Mailing Address: 113 W.
