White inquired <br />whether state aid monies would be expended on this matter. <br /> <br />Kellogg noted state aid monies would be used to conduct the analysis. <br /> <br />White suggested the stoplight option not be included in the proposal at this time. <br /> <br />McMillan stated she would like to see whether there is some flaw with the intersection that is causing the <br />accidents or whether they are simply random accidents. McMillan stated she would not recommend <br />including language regarding the turn-about and that she would like to work with the county prior to <br />making any recommendations for changes at this intersection. <br /> <br />Murphy stated there have not been a significant number of accidents at this intersection but that he <br />personally has experienced a couple of close calls and that this is a situation that needs to be closely <br />looked at. <br /> <br />McMillan commented the speed limit on this road is 50 and that perhaps the speed limit is too high as it <br />approaches this intersection. <br /> <br />McMillan moved, White seconded, to authorize Bonestroo to conduct the Orono Orchard <br />Road/County Road 15 intersection analysis at a cost of $5,600, and to amend the Municipal State <br />Aid Fund budget to reflect this expenditure. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />PAGE 7 of 14 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda 10/09/06 <br />Approval of Minutes 09/25/06 [Page 7 of 14]
