Counc�lman Schneider stated he would l�ke to proceed with the study and meet the criteria of the law so if the facts bear out there is a shortage, they could make a decision on the moratorium.

PROPOSE� PdEIGHBORH00DS AND NAMES FDR USE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SIGN PROGRAP1 Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated since the City is separated by ma,7or highways, the ne�ghborhood s�gn concept is a means of having persons identify with a certain neighborhood and of giving them a sense of community. Counc�lman Schneider stated the facts discussed at the Planning Commission Meeting were the colors in tha stgn and that the street signs arould have to be changed to go with the logo. Mr Qureshi, City Manager, stated the plan is to add the logo on to � the existing street sign. He stated the question has to be answered if there is a problem w�th the logo or with the colors of the logo. Counci7man Schneider felt the proposal fo�° creating ne�ghborhood spirit and identity is good, 6ut the quest�on on how to go about identifying neighborhoods would have to be resolved. Counc�lman Barnette asked how many areas in the City were identified for the crime prevention program. Mr. Qureshi stated 18 or 20 neighborhood areas were ident�f�ed for this program. Counc�lman Barnette stated he l�ked the idea of neighborhood signs and felt it would have a positive effect on the neighborhood, however, he stated he didn't like the proposed names to be g�ven to the areas. Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, stated the Council wouldn't necessarily have to go with the names proposed, however, they would have to eventually make a deternnnation regarding what names neighborhoods would be given. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated the concept used was from the Comprehensive Plan which shows the C�ty has 13 neighborhoods and they tried to use the neighborhood park name in certain areas and, in other areas wh�_re there wasn't a neighborhood park, other optTOns wei°e used. Councilman Fitzpatrick thought it was f�ne to �dentify neighborhoods, � but when he saw how h�s area was identified, he felt two-thirds of the persons in the area wouldn't recognize this identity. He felt the proposal needs a lot of work in terms of area boundartes and neighborhood titles. ' I . : � � �,r �� COUNCIL MEETIPJG DF JANUARY 4, 1982 PAGE 5 Mayor Nee stated he felt the concept was a very positive thing althcugh he aidn't like the des�gn. Councilman Hamern�k felt the s7gns could have some positive effects, but there would have to be some limitations or ground rules. Councilman Schneider suggested hav�ng the areas in the crime prevention program p�ck a name for their neiyhborhood. It was the general concensus of the Council that they felt the concept of the ne�ghborhood sign was good, 6ut more work was needed to determ�ne how neighborhoods would be named and to change the des�gn of the sign 6.
