The meeting was called to order at 5:16 P.M. by Chairman George

The minutes of the May 6, 2003, meeting were approved as submitted.
The first item of business was a request for Stop Signs on 10th/1 lth NW at
Cherry Street, stopping North and South bound traffic on 10th/1 lth at West
Cherry.
Chief Barnett said that this request came from a citizen who said he had
almost been hit on two different occasions at this intersection. Police
Department record showed no reported accidents at the intersection in the
past two (2) years.
After discussion Ed Seidle made a motion that the request be denied. The
motion was seconded by George Fisher and the motion carried 6 ayes to 0
nays, with Ed Ellis not voting since he felt there might be a conflict of
interest for him.
The second item was a request for a Stop Sign on 5th Street SW at West
Sherman Street, stopping South bound traffic at West Sherman.
This request came from a resident of the area who stated that there were
numerous small children in the area who often play in the street and the
parents have been unable to keep them out of the street.
Assistant Chief Barnett said he had been through the area at least four times
and children were in the street on all but one time. Since this is a T
intersection and the law requires traffic on SW 5th Street to stop for traffic on
West Sherman that this Stop Sign is recommended.
Rickey Macky made a motion to recommend the sign be placed as
requested.
Ed Seidle seconded and the motion carried 7 ayes to 0 nays.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 5:25 P.M.
