This initial report from the pilot program indicates the appearance rate for court has increased to about 90%. The report also indicated a drop to the 70% range when contact is not made. Chair Cozad further mentioned part of the no-show situation is due to on -duty patrol officers not noting a good phone number for the citizen. Another attributing factor to the no-show situation is only one attempt to make contact is made. She noted the increased appearance rate will help in the jail population, since less citizens will be held for failures to appear. Lastly, she mentioned speaking with Dianna Campbell, Department of Justice Services, and learned people from Friday court hearings approved for Work Release becacuse of staffing issues, stay in the jail and wait for transfer to Work Release until Monday mornings.

NEW BUSINESS: 1) CONSIDER INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC REGULATORY SIGNS ON CR 14.5 BETWEEN CRS 7 AND 9: Janet Lundquist, Department of Public Works, stated a speed reduction request was received from a citizen, and a traffic count determined that 85% of the drivers in the area are driving 30 MPH. She stated 30 MPH fits within the area, because it is a residential roadway in a subdivision of homes. She advised the speed limit is currently 55 MPH because there is no traffic regulatory signs posted currently. She explained Public Works typically places flags on the new signs to increase awareness of the change. Ms. Lundquist recommended the installation of a speed limit sign for 30 MPH. Commissioner Freeman expressed concern over the major change in the speed limit, and stated that if the required speed limit is too slow then more people may tend to drive faster than the regulated speed limit of 30 MPH; however, if the traffic study shows most citizens are already driving the speed of 30 MPH, he can support the change. Ms. Lundquist explained Public Works does not notify the Sheriff's Office of speed limit changes, but further stated it is the Department of Public Works' responsibility to ensure a safe environment. The motion to approve said installation of speed regulatory signs, which was made by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, and seconded by Commissioner Freeman, carried unanimously.
