Citizens Comments:
Dennis Hilsinger commented on the need to replace or install new speed limit
signs on Bells Flats road, he noted the adequate amount of signage on the South
Russian Creek side of the flats, and offered to pay for signs himself. He also noted
that for the most part is was not the contractors from the pit but private vehicles
that where speeding on the road in front of his home. Dave Conrad stated that
signs cost $65 -$70 dollars apiece but the higher costs come from the post and
installation of them. Two speed limit signs (one at each end of BF Road). Dave
Conrad also suggested when signs are bought and placed that the new tsunami
evacuation Signs could also be installed on same post. Dave Heuman has a
collection of previously knocked down and used signs that can be used to reduce
costs.

ready, however his excavator will be inop till next week and 131E1 will not be
