The minutes of the February 4, 1992 and the August 4, 1992 meet- ings were approved as submitted. The first item of business was to consider a request for placing Stop Signs at the intersections of Van Zandt and 14th N.E. and Van Zandt and 16th N.E. During the discussion Assistant Chief Barnett reported that the investigation into the accidents reported at these intersections show now accidents at either place for the past 12 months. The Traffic Department did a study and rec- ommended that no Stop Signs be placed at the intersections be- cause none of the warrants for the signs are met. After the discussion Chairman Ellis called for a motion. No one made a motion. Chairman Ellis explained that if no motion was made the signs would not be placed. The request died from lack of a mot- ion. The second request was for an ordinance prohibiting thru truck traffic on Brown Avenue from 1st Street S.W. to 3rd Street S.W. After learning that this request came from B.A. Huddleston, Dir- ector of Public Works for The City of Paris, explaining that the street was not designed for heavy truck traffic Frank Sherman made a motion to approve the request. Richard Fuller seconded and the motion carried six ayes to 0 nays. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 5:26 P.M. ames Barnett Assistant Chief of Police
