Assistant 'Chief Randy Tuttle said in February the Traffic Commission voted to request the City Council to place a stop sign for east bound traffic at Stone Avenue and Lewis` Lane. He also said that staff recommended denial of this request, because it did not meet guidelines. Assistant Chief Tuttle said the only complaint received from NLISD was from Ms. Morgan, and that Chief Boaz said they would monitor this when school resumed. Council Member Stone wanted to know if that was a guarantee, and Assistant Chief Tuttle said it was not a guarantee but Chief Boaz said they would monitor and put someone there as needed. Council Member Stone said she was not in favor of just monitoring because there was no guarantee, and it just took one time. She asked if Ms. Morgan was invited to the meeting with the school, and Assistant Chief Tuttle said she was not. Council Member Stone said she had a problem with this and that Council had asked that Ms. Morgan be allowed to participate in the meeting. Following additional discussion, Mayor Clifford said he thought it was best they instruct staff to place a stop sign at the location to see if that solves the problem. He also said if it becomes a traffic flow problem, they could look at it again. Council Member Knox said it was unfortunate that Ms. Morgan was not included in the meeting.
