Pheasant Ridge area put up advisory traffic signs (e.g. Caution —Crosswalk) to aid in controlling
automobile speed issues.
NEW BUSINESS:
Would like to plan a McGruff day at Otsego Elementary. Need to inquire if the school will allow.
Road Clean Up —Roads are still available for volunteer groups. No new groups have volunteered recently.
County Road clean up is not within the city's jurisdiction — up to Wright County to approve.

organized to volunteer their services in emergency situations to help improve response time. There are
