THE CITY MANAGER REPORTED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE TRAFFIC DIVISION WITH THE POLICE DEPART14ENT AT THE REQUEST OF THE COUNCIL. The purpose of this division was to pro- vide for a more rigid control of traffic regulations in general. It was found that ordinance No. 561, dated October 79 1946, established a Traffic and Safety Commission with due authority to make special investigations and other studies relative to the enforcement of traffic regulations, some of which have been given considerable study. As any reorganization that might be necessary to improve traffic conditions must be approached with due caution and full knowledge of traffic and safety tech- nique before any definite action is taken, it was City Manager Rolison's recommen- dation that a committee be appointed to assist in this undertaking. He suggested as members of this committee, two members from the City Council, two members from the Traffic and Safety Commission, the Chief of Police, City Attorney, City Engineer and himself. He felt that this committee should meet immediately in order to make - such determination as may be possible prior to the adoption of the 1948-49 budget, ., should any additional personnel be considered. It was moved by Councilman Britsehgi that the City Manager's recommendation be accepted, seconded by Councilman Holmquist, and carried. Mayor Werder appointed Councilman Spillers and Holmquist. The names of the Traffic and Safety Commission were submitted later in the meeting by City Clerk Ralph Dodge. Louis Dematteis and James Flynn were also appointed. City Manager Rolison and City Engineer Jain were to act on the committee and were to report back at the July 6th meeting.
