Discussion and possible action for consideration to close Walnut Street in front of Wilson Elementary School for vehicle traffic, with exception of school buses, from the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. -- Approved. The closures will be between 17th and 18th on Walnut during the bus unloading and loading periods. Wilson Elementary Principal Corsair Thurman told the commission that this request was for the safety of the children as a few drivers had been igoring the school personnel holding stop signs to keep cars out of that area.

6. Discussion and possible action on the TEA-21 bids for the Main Street Transportation Enhancement Project Phase I. -- 2 bids were received this time after a single bids could not be accepted earlier this year. The bid from W.M. Couch was for $874K but the low bid of $581K by Bryant was accepted. The low bid was still approximately $56K more than the allocated funds (which include city, Vision 2025 & Federal/ODOT funds). After much discussion on what they could or could not do to modify scope and specific bid aspects without requiring another round of bids, the low bid was accepted. Options are being consider to cover the additional funds. The consensus was that bids would just keep getting higher as so many contractors are busy now with many other projects. (Sample Previous Coverage: Sept. 2004 Planning + June 2006 Design Walk)

7. Discussion and possible action on canvass election results from ONG Franchise election held September 11, 2007. -- The 78 Yes & 13 no results from the city election were approved.

9. Discussion and possible action to consider the Emergency Clause pertaining to Ordinance 801. -- no action taken -- as there is a 30 day ONG approval cycle built in, so making the ordinance effective immediately would have no effect.

10. Public Hearing: CZ-168 - Public hearing and consideration of possible approval of Zoning Ordinance 803 on a request to rezone property generally located at the SW/C of N. 12th and W. Broadway, from RS-3 Single Family Residential District to CBD Central Business District for commercial uses per Sections 600.01, 600.4, 610 and 1530 of the Collinsville Zoning Code.
