.... prior to the final adoption of the budget. Sackett moved that the public notice of budget be published as indicated and that a public hearing for adoption of the budget be set for November 6, 1991, seconded by Sackett. All in favor. ORDINANCE NO. 1052, SERIES 1991 - AMENDING THE MODEL TRAFFIC CODE - 2ND READING - PUBLIC HEARING (TRAFFIC SPEED LIMITS) Griffiths read by title only Ordinance No. 1052, Series 1991, "An Ordinance amending the Model Traffic Code." Currently the City's ordinance regarding traffic speeds provides for 30 MPH speed in residential areas. Based on concerns expressed by numerous residents and comments from City Council, staff has prepared the following ordinance for consideration. The ordinance revises speed limits in a residential district to 25 MPH, 30 MPH in a business district, and 30 MPH on collector streets, unless otherwise designated. Tom Phare, Director of Public Works, reminded Council that this ordinance will probably not reduce speeds, it takes drivers to reduce speeds. Speed limit compliance for the most part is voluntary. Tom Mayer, 580 Wildrose, Louisville, Colorado 80027 Mayer: I was looking through the Council packet, I noticed there was no mention of school zones. Phare: School zones are covered specifically in the Model Traffic Code. This ordinance will not change any of the existing posted limits.
