Consider amending the Truck Route Ordinance = Donn Nesbitt requested Council's confidentiality regarding -the main road to Lake Ray Roberts. Nesbitt told Council the main road been desig- nated as FM455. He explained that the Corp of Engineers is dead set against the present looping of FM455 and would prefer the straight shot from 5th Street to 2nd Street. This strip is now designated as a city truck route. The Corp is unable to initiate action with the state as long as this strip is designated a truck route. Nesbitt proposed to Council to put up a sign reading "No Through Trucks Allowed," and the city must write a letter to the Corp of Engineers stating this fact. They can in turn put pressure on the State to redo the portion from 5th to 2nd and extend FM455 without looping. Billy Jack Hollingsworth was opposed to changing the designated truck route unless it was for only a short period of time. Council requested the City Manager and Donn Nesbitt to contact officials of the State Highway Department and the Corps of Engineers and set up a meeting and see what can be worked out. This item to be placed on the Council Agenda for June 15th. 3. Water Improvements Item taken off the agenda. Meeting adjourned. ATTEST:
