meet of the traffic signal controller, it would also <br /> allow an upgrade of the equipment so that additional <br /> efficiency could be gained at the intersection by <br /> allowing various programs by time of day to accom- <br /> modate different traffic patterns. Public Works <br /> staff is recommending authorization to obtain <br /> bids/quotes on replacement equipment for the traffic <br /> signal controller at the intersection described. <br /> Anderson stated that the malfunctioning of the light <br /> does create some serious problems with proper <br /> traffic flow. Three-way traffic sigralization is <br /> more difficult to achieve than a four-way <br /> intersection. However, that opportunity did not <br /> exist at the time that intersection was developed. <br /> The only way we can begin to solve the problem is <br /> to get adequate signalization." <br /> Phare explained that the new equipment is compatible <br /> and is from the same vendor that provided the <br /> recently installed equipment on South Boulder Road. <br /> Ultimately, the controllability could be maintain by <br /> the computer in the Public Works Department. <br /> Szymanski moved that the Public Works Department be <br /> authorized to obtain bide/quotes on replacement <br /> equipment for the traffic signal controller at the <br /> intersection described. Anderson seconded. <br /> Unanimous. <br /> ?hare also stated that the City of Ljuisville has <br /> another piece of equipment that is in need of <br /> replacement - the vehicle washing equipment located <br /> at City Shops. A major component of the vehicle <br /> washing equipment failed. An evaluation of the <br /> existing equipment indicates other parts showing <br /> signs of wear. Repair of the equipment could be <br /> a continual effort as other parts fail. Preliminary <br /> estimates to replace the equipment indicates new <br /> vehicle washing equipment could be obtained for <br /> approximately $2,000 to $2,500. <br /> Mayor Fauson moved that the Public Works Department <br /> be authorized to purchase vehicle washing equipment <br /> for $2,000 to $2,500. Szymanski seconded. <br /> Sackett asked if this was an appropriate priority <br /> from the savings on the South Boulder Road project. <br /> Sackett stated that he would feel more comfortable <br /> if the Finance Committee looked at the request. "It <br /> is a question of process. I don't know if it is <br /> legitimate or not. Technically, I would rather have <br /> it go through the normal process.' <br /> 7 <br />
