Mr. Farr moved to approve the Ordinance on first reading and Mr. Kreczmer seconded the motion. During discussion Mr. Moore indicated his concern for the traffic congestion in this area and was wondering what the State's plans were for signalization at Highway 80 and River Road. City Planner Joe Garza stated Highway 80 was in the State's 20-year plan, and in the next two to five years, there was a possi- bility that Highway 80 from IH35 to the Bridge would be made five lanes but there were no plans for a traffic light at this intersec- tion, because traffic did not warrant it at this time. On roll call the following vote was recorded: * On this same date the County Commissioners appointed Darwin Winfield, Eddie Rincon and Ilene Colley to the EMS Committee. ** Mr. Moore was present during this public hearing.
