Following an almost hour and a half-long public forum on Better Together’s merger plan, Richmond Heights officials finished off the remainder of the agenda in 15 minutes.
With no discussion council members passed a bill authorizing a small vehicle sharing program with Brentwood and Maplewood. Maplewood council members discussed at their previous meeting that the program could include bikes, motorized bikes, or motorized scooters.
The council also heard the first reading of a bill to authorize an agreement to have access to a drone owned by the city of Clayton. City Manager Amy Hamilton said after the meeting that a drone could be used by the city for such things as showing firefighters an aerial view of a fire scene or assisting police in a chase. A licensed pilot would be required to fly the drone.
Also, council member Joan Provaznik asked about installing speed humps on neighborhood streets that are now being used more during construction on Clayton Road and Big Bend Boulevard. Other city officials said the fire code prohibits either speed humps or speed bumps.
