Brautigarn, City Manager DATE: April 3, 2008 INITIATED BY: Mike Epperson, Deputy City Manager/Chief of Police Heinz von Eckartsberg, Police Lieutenant Memo RE: Resolution 17-08, Memorial Tournament Traffic Regulation, Signage and Noise Waivers Summary As in previous years, during the week of the Memorial Tournament there is a need to implement a plan which best facilitates the safe and efficient movement of traffic to and from the Ivluirfield area. In order to do this, the City and the Police Division need the ability to change traffic patterns and parking regulations in Muirfield Village to include implementing one-way traffic on designated streets and prohibiting parking on a variety of streets. The only change in this year's resolution would be an extension of the waiver of traffic and parking regulations in Muirfield Village through 1Vlonday, June 2, 2008. This will be necessary only in the event that inclement weather would extend tournament play by one day. In recent years, when this has occurred it has impacted our exiting traffic times, extending them for an hour or two on each occasion. In addition, due to the large influx of people to the lUluirfield area during the tournament week it is necessary to allow some flexibility for contractors to collect trash from the receptacles set up for this event. Because of this, we are again requesting a waiver of the restrictions regarding loading and unloading waste receptacles as outlined in the resolution. This resolution allows us, once again, to implement a safe traffic plan to accommodate the large volume of traffic for one of the signature events in the City. We anticipate generally following the same plan «~•e have used in recent years. Recommendation Approval of Resolution 17-08 at the Monday, April 7 Council meeting.
