A meeting will then be scheduled to discuss the survey. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS The Mayor noted that a representative of the Planning Commission was not present. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments at this time. POLICE CHIEF REPORT Police Chief, Stephen Sullivan, had no comments but was present to answer any questions. Council member Kelley stated concern over school bus routing in relation to the Old Crystal Bay Road Bridge closure. He questioned whether Hanus Bus Company had been informed about the rerouting of Old Crystal Bay Road and the need for the police department to know the school bus situation with school starting. Sullivan stated Hanus had been advised of routes and arrangements have been made for early morning high- school traffic to be controlled on Willow Road allowing right -hand turns only for eastbound traffic. Students will then realize the need to take the detour to access Highway 12. Kelley also stated concern over cars or buses turning right out of Stubbs Bay Road. He foresees problems with cars coming over the hill traveling much faster than the vehicles turning onto Highway 12. Chief Sullivan stated resources were not available to police all these corners but both agreed police need to know where buses will be going and whether it will be safe. Mayor Callahan noted the receipt of letters from the North Tonka Crime Prevention Coalition and the Church of St. George regarding their appreciation of the help from the police department. • •
