Mayor Knight thanked council member Tom Strott for all the years he had served Rutledge.
THREE WAY STOP INFORMATION
Mayor Knight stated that the traffic engineer said there were certain things that needed to be considered before installing the stop signs. Are there 300 cars that go through the intersection in an eight hour period? Have there been five or more accidents in a twelve month time frame? He said the answer to these questions are no. He advised the city that we would be opening ourselves up to a lawsuit if it proved the three way stop was not needed.
James Bratcher reminded everyone of the up coming SPLOST meeting on Wednesday.
James Bratcher made motion to adjourn. Brenda Thompson seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
