The following communication was presented and read at length: September 15, 1965 To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council From: C. Adam Fischer, Acting City Manager Subject: Traffic Congestion at the Intersection of Laurel and Loomis With the beginning of the current CSU school session, the Public Works Department has observed considerable traffic congestion at the reference location. At the intersection of Loomis and Laurel, there are very large volumes of traffic from the dormitory area of the University which desire to leave the University property and either proceed north on Loomis or to the east or west on Laurel. We propose, on a trial basis, to install stop signs on Laurel thus making this intersection a four-way stop. The change would have the added affect of providing a break in heavy Laurel Street traffic mid -way between Howes and Shields ... a distance of approximately 3/4 miles. The proposition has been discussed with the Police Chief, andhe is in complete agreement that the change has merit and should be installed at least on a trial basis. If Council feels the proposal has merit, we will proceed immediately to prepare additional signs that would be required, give adequate publicity to the change, and put the change into effect. It is felt that the change could be made and adequate notification given within two weeks after authorization of Council. Respectfully submitted, /s/ C. Adam Fischer Acting City Manager Mr. Fischer explained the reason of the request for stop signs as stated in the communicat on above. Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Carson, that the Acting City Manager proceed to erect sop signs as requested on a 90 day trial bass: Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn.

Mayor Johnson reported that he had been requested to wire or telephone Senator Allott in reference to the boundaries that have been set up for the location of the new Post Office building and requested that these boundaries be extended or all sites offered should be considered. After considerable discussion between members of the Council, the consensus of opinion was that he should, as representative of the City Council, request that all sites for this building be considered as they are within the guide lines as set up by the general service administration, and that the Council did not recommend any definite location or property. The Citq Attorney reported that the City had been served with a�summons for a $300j000.O0 suit filed in the United States District Court agsinst the 6ity and three of the Police officers of the City. He stated that it was not necessarily the duty"of the City Attorney, office to represent the Police officers, by any law or ordinance, etc., but if the Council so wished, that the would represent the three Police officers or any one of them if they did not wish to have their own attorney to represent them in this suit. Motion was nade by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the City Attorney, office Police be authorized to represent the three/officers who are co-defendents in the suit filed in the United States District Court at Denver, if the offieers requested same. Roll was call - ad resulting as follows: Ayes,: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Council- aoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. The City Attorney reported that there were two points of the Loveland -Fort Collin airport agreement with Western Aviation Incorporated, in which they requested a letter of Clarification of these points.
