Date: September 9, 2003
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES (MUTCD)
BACKGROUND:
It was noted, by city staff, that the City Code currently refers to the 1978 Edition of the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This Manual has recently been updated
and will be updated frequently in the future. Therefore staff recommends replacing the
year "1978" with the word "latest". By use of this wording continuous revisions of the
city code will not be required each time the MUTCD is revised.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Adopt an ordinance to amend the municipal code to change certain wording in
Section 26.3 from "1978" to "latest" which will allow the code to stay up to date each
time the MUTCD is revised.
2. Do nothing, which would result in the city code referring to a document that is no
longer the national standard for traffic control devices.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council adopt an ordinance to
amend the municipal code to change certain wording in Section 26.3 from "1978" to
"latest" which will allow the code to stay up to date each time the MUTCD is revised.
COUNCIL ACTION:
