Pawnee Dr. He is requesting that they find a place going each direction for a speed limit sign and
that locates are done so that the speed limit signs can be placed.
Mayor Moore asked if the crews were out cleaning storm drains with the rain that we are getting
and Mr. Crouch confirmed they are. Mayor Moore encouraged everyone to go out and check to
make sure their storm drains are cleared and advised if a drain needs to be cleared you should not
use your hands to clear it, use a shovel or another object to remove the debris. Mayor Moore
