He <br />also said that staff recommended denial of this request, because it did not meet guidelines. <br />Assistant Chief Tuttle said the only complaint received from NLISD was from Ms. Morgan, and <br />that Chief Boaz said they would monitor this when school resumed. Council Member Stone <br />wanted to know if that was a guarantee, and Assistant Chief Tuttle said it was not a guarantee but <br />Chief Boaz said they would monitor and put someone there as needed. Council Member Stone <br />said she was not in favor of just monitoring because there was no guarantee, and it just took one <br />time. She asked if Ms. Morgan was invited to the meeting with the school, and Assistant Chief <br />Tuttle said she was not. Council Member Stone said she had a problem with this and that Council <br />had asked that Ms. Morgan be allowed to participate in the meeting. Following additional <br />discussion, Mayor Clifford said he thought it was best they instruct staff to place a stop sign at <br />the location to see if that solves the problem. He also said if it becomes a traffic flow problem, <br />they could look at it again. Council Member Knox said it was unfortunate that Ms. Morgan was <br />not included in the meeting. <br />A Motion to place the stop at the intersection of Stone Avenue and Lewis Lane, stopping <br />eastbound traffic on Stone Avenue was made by Council Member Stone and seconded by <br />Council Member Knox. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. <br />31.
