OLD BUSINESS
Kenny added an item under old business that was a request that was brought to the board on May
25, 2006 for the approval to paint the curb yellow at Starr Elementary School on the North 19th
Street side from the North end of the driveway to the end of the double sidewalk approximately
30 feet. Ken Johnson who is a resident on North 19th Street was opposed to the curb painting
because it left him with nowhere in front of his house to park. At that time the board asked
Roger Smith if they could postpone the decision to give him a chance to come to some kind of
compromise with Mr. Johnson and some of the other residents in the neighborhood. After
further studies Mr. Smith found that they could cut the 30 feet of curb to be painted to 15 feet.
He said that the people in the neighborhood were in agreement with the adjustment and Mr.
Smith felt that the 15 feet would be adequate for the new larger buses to be able to maneuver.
Flood made a motion to approve the adjustment with the condition that the Police Traffic
Division also approved with a second by Lawson. The motion was unanimously passed.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, on a motion duly made, seconded and passed unanimously. The
meeting was adjourned.
