Performance Management and Service Delivery Partnerships and Volunteerism Purpose Policy – adopted September 11, 2003 to provide reasonable opportunities for reducing the speed limit
on local streets from 30 MPH to 25 MPH Key Points Provides for HOA Request only No provision for reduction request on street without active HOA Requires petition of affected residents
75% support Requires HOA to pay for signs (currently $250 each) TEXAS LAW Prima Facie Speed (standard) Residential = 30 MPH Does not require posting Traditionally, required engineering
study to determine 85th percentile speed 79th Legislature (2005) HB 87 – Provided Home Rule cities to reduce speed given conditions exists. HB 87 Provides for reduction in speed on
residential streets to not less than 25 MPH provide: Street width less than 35 feet width; No parking restrictions; City Council must declare prima facie speed presents unsafe condition.
Discussion Should the HOA be required to secure petition signatures to begin this process? Should the city fund the signs? Who should be responsible for securing property owner consent
for placement of signs near their yard? Proposed Revisions Eliminate requirements for HOA to pay for Engineering Study to determine 85th percentile speed; Add language to policy where
no active HOA exists; Bring resolution to City Council on Sept 21 with revised policy for consideration. Project Location Requested Speed Reduction Citizen Request To install speed
