Currently there are over 101,000 traffic and street name signs
The changes involve increasing the sign size, material type and/or reflectivity of the sign material. All existing 7” street name signs must be changed to the new standard of 9” and all existing 24” stop signs to the new standard of 30” by the compliant deadline of 2012.
Even with this phased in approach to funding, staff is concerned that meeting the federal mandates in time will be difficult. Staff will monitor program progress and consequently request additional resources if needed.
TS Comment: This year’s efforts have been hampered by staff turnover (2 Signs Fabricators terminated—representing a 66% turnover) & the new position rec’d in the FY exception pkg was not filled until February due to the hiring freeze. The last vacant position was just filled in July. However, the Sign Shop Supervisor feels confident that with the implementation of the FY exception pkg, which includes adding of a Signs Fabricator & Traffic Services Worker, the CFW will meet the deadline.

18. Debt Service Tax Rate Trend
41.6%
This scenario depicts about 22 cents of the current tax rate dedicated to debt service which is around 26% of the total levy. After discussions with our financial advisor, this is not an unacceptable range, particularly for a fast growing city.
