Lift Arm Gate

President Larry Hibbs expressed his concern regarding the Lift arm gates.

• The vehicle code reader must be within a limited distance from the computer located in the Police Department facility.
• The Lift-arm gates are installed beyond this required distance.
• The vehicle code reader is located between these two locations.
• The vehicle reader was installed to triangulate the Lift-arm gate with the computer.
• The distance between the vehicle reader and the Lift-arm gate mandates the allowed time span for the Lift-arm to remain in the up / open position.
• A second, third, fourth, etc. vehicle code is read by the reader – enabling the Lift-arm gate to remain open.
• This distance allows vehicles following behind / tail gating to pass through the “open” gate.

• A STOP sign is proposed to alleviate this tail gating problem.
• This STOP sign will be located next to the current Speed Bump.
• Additional Speed Bumps have been deemed necessary to prevent vehicles from speeding through this designated area between the Police Department facility and the Lift-arm gates.

President Larry Hibbs and Chief Joel Tyner will be meeting with Integrated Systems to discuss this issue on Thursday, October 29^th.

6:30 p.m. meeting. 

•      Larry Hibbs called the meeting to order.

1.         First item taken up was the new entry gate.  People are still tailgating into Diamondhead.  A discussion ensued about the best solution to the problem.  One alternative was to move the decal reader closer to the actual gate; however, that will not eliminate the problem.  Larry went on to say that the tailgating feature of the gate has not been activated at this point.  A sign needs to be placed at the speed bump in front of the Police house for motorists to stop to allow the preceding motorist to clear the gate, before proceeding.  When the tailgating feature is engaged, the gate arm will lower immediately after the car passes through the gate.   Larry said  that this process will take some time to communicate when the tailgating mechanism will be engaged and the procedures at the entry gate.
