The November 2, 2009 meeting occurred at the Hansville Store from 7:00 - 9:00 PM with seven representatives from the Remove the Speed Tables and Enhance the Speed Tables Teams. Handouts of the county’s guidelines and each teams's presentation, "Speed Table Removal, A Practical Approach to Speed Control" and " Speed Table Enhancement, A Greater Hansville Area Sub-committee," were distributed.

The chairperson for the Remove the Speed Table Team announced he’s stepping down from the position due to ongoing health problems. After undergoing numerous medical procedures in the past six months he does not want his situation to add any delays in getting the promised recommendations to the community. His support is fully with his team and he will participate as a member as his condition permits. The members of the Remove the Speed Tables Team attending the meeting agreed to carry on as a team as it was felt that a single leader is not necessary. 
 
Community Concerns

The purpose of the meeting was to clarify and verify the five areas of concern as defined during the facilitator portion of the process. In other words, the community interests which required resolution. The five areas of concern, as it now stands are as follows:
 
ENHANCE THE TABLES TEAM
1. Design and Engineering - standardized speed table design and installation
2. Traffic Distribution - requires clarification
3. Acceptance - community support of solution(s)
4. Respect - community respects each other and each other’s concerns
5. Safety - road safety - personal, elderly, children, animal’s 
 
REMOVE THE TABLES TEAM
1. Engineering Law - meet county code road design standards
2. Equity - solution(s) equitable for all residents and motorists
3. Personal Responsibility –
·        parents responsible for children
·        pet owners responsible for pet safety - keep dogs on leash/fenced
·        trim brush for better sight distance
·        purchase two-way mailbox
4. Fair Process & Community Support –
·        clear communication and entire affected community votes
5. Liability - who takes responsibility for personal property damage, delayed emergency response times due to speed tables?
 
As indicated in red type, the only category not explicitly self-explanatory in the written presentations is item #2 Traffic Distribution under the Enhance Team’s concerns. 
 
The issue regarding speed tables and emergency response capabilities was discussed.  These impacts still need to be addressed.
 
Process Continues

This meeting successfully re-energized the process.   The two teams are still in step #3 of the county delineated process. Those in attendance expressed their desire to see the process through to the end.
 
Next Steps

The next step is to meet and complete step #3 where both teams will gather as the Committee-of-the-Whole and present their presentations.  It was recommended each team choose a spokesperson and prepare a PowerPoint presentation.  At this point, while it would be a deviation from the process outlined by the county, it was also proposed to invite the Board of Commissioners to attend the meeting of the Committee-of-the-Whole, thereby allowing both teams an opportunity to provide clarifications and answer inquiries.
 
Other issues discussed for follow-up at the next meeting:
 
How to accomplish steps #4 and #5: 
The two teams discussed the issues surrounding step 4 and acknowledged there will probably be more than one option put forth before the community.

1.      The proposal may include more than one option.
2.      The option(s) offered should meet all of the community interests agreed to during the May 21 and May 27 meetings.
 
The issue surrounding step 5 is Hansville doesn't have a facility large enough to fit the entire community so thought must be given as to how to present the options and collect votes.
 

STEP 5:
Committee-of-the-Whole publicizes, presents and secures broad community support and endorsement of the option(s) regarding speed tables.
 
How to update the community as to where the teams are in the process:  
There was discussion about publishing both teams’ presentations on-line and providing hard copies for those residents that don’t use the Internet.
 
Two attendees volunteered to check the availability of the Community Center and the Driftwood Key Club for the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting.
