Davidson instructed City staff to arrange for a neighborhood meeting at the Louisville Recreation Center to discuss what can or cannot be done and called for enhanced police presence in the neighborhood in the meantime. Sisk offered a friendly suggestion that Council indicate a time frame in which this meeting would take place, possibly within the next twenty to thirty days. Bill Simmons, City Administrator, replied that the meeting would be arranged as soon as possible, based upon Council schedules, meeting room availability, and notification to all the residents in the area. Bob Muckle, 1101 Lincoln Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, thanked Council for the opportunity to speak and offered his congratulations on the purchase of the Warembourg property. He felt this purchase would be a legacy for Louisville. He stated he has a concern about traffic control at the Dillon Road and 96th Street interchange. He understands plans are underway to install a signal light, but he would like to see a modem round-about instead. He presented copies of an article from a traffic trade journal citing the success of a traffic circle installed in the town of Vail. Tom MacAdam, 717 Nighthawk Circle, Louisville, Colorado, agreed with Muckle on the success of traffic circles. He then expressed his concern for how the traffic problem surveys from the neighborhood were interpreted. He stated that two thirds of the neighborhood surveys were remmed and all of those responding indicated they would like something to be done to resolve the problem. He thanked Councilmembers Mayer and Howard and Tom Phare, Public Works Director, for their efforts and assistance in this matter. Howard encouraged the Nighthawk Circle residents to invite all their neighbors to attend the next neighborhood meeting to discuss the viable options and resolve this issue. COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Keany thanked the volunteers and City staff for the wonderfully coordinated July 4th event. He stated the day was truly an asset for the community. Sisk agreed with Keany and singled-out Kristin Goodyear and Meredyth Muth for their extraordinary contributions. He felt that having the great-grandson of Louis Nawatny, the founder of Louisville, in attendance added to the event. Howard agreed with Keany and Sisk. He feels it is a great family activity and also thanked Percy and Caroline Connoroe for bringing Mr. Nawatny and his wife to Louisville. Their attendance brought the history of Louisville alive. Davidson thanked the councilmembers for grilling and serving hotdogs for the event.
