The city staff was represented by Assistant Chief of Police Bob Hundley.
The meeting was called to order at 5:21 by Chairman Ed Ellis.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as submitted by a consensus.
Mr. Ellis then moved to item #3 a request to establish a school zone speed limit
of 20 mph on Aikin Drive from the east curb line of NE 30th Street to the west
boundary of property owned by the Paris Independent School District. A motion
was made to that effect by Mr. Seidle and seconded by Mr. Kimbrough and the
motion passed 5 -0.
Item #4 was a request to change or remove angled parking places in the 100
block of SW 1 st Street, specifically in front of 134 W. Kaufman. Assistant Chief
Hundley informed the commission that at one time a yellow curb line had
extended from the north curb line at the intersection of W. Kaufman street north
to about the center of the second angled parking place. This had faded and
when new construction of a accessible ramp for pedestrians, the yellow curb line
had been repainted but for only a short distance. With vehicles parked in these
parking spaces, eastbound traffic on Kaufman at SW 1 st Street could not see
approaching southbound traffic unless they pulled out into almost the middle of
the intersection. After some discussion, Mr. McFadden made a motion to delete
the three angled parking places and replace them with two parallel parking
places. Mr. Seidle seconded the motion and the motion passed 5 -0.
Item #5 was a request for a stop sign at the intersection of SE 32 Street and
Clark Lane. A motion was made by Mr. McFadden to stop southbound traffic on
SE 32 "d Street at the intersection of Clark Lane. Mr. Kimbrough seconded the
motion and the motion passed 5 -0.
Mr. Seidle asked that staff check into the problem with truck delivery in the area
of NW 3rd Street and SW 3d Street and Bonham to see if enforcement or
ordinances needed to change.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:34 PM by motion of Mr. McFadden, seconded
by Mr. Kimbrough and a 5 -0 vote.
