Council approves honorary Ruffer Road signs near Muskogee High School and waives fee
Summary
The council approved an honorary street name for the access road in front of Muskogee High School to be marked as Ruffer Road and waived the customary $200 fee at the school's request.
The Muskogee City Council approved an honorary street name for the access roadway on East Shawnee Road between North York Street and North Country Club Road, designating it Ruffer Road, and approved a fee waiver requested by Muskogee High School student leadership.
Staff said the request was submitted by student leadership and cited the school's request and alumni as the reason for the honorary designation. City staff recommended approval and said the $200 fee customarily required for a street-name request could be waived at council discretion for the school, a nonprofit tax-exempt entity.
A council member asked whether a nonstandard sign color (green backing) would violate MUTCD rules; staff said they would verify compliance and proceed if allowed. The council approved the motion and the fee waiver by roll call.
Staff indicated they would install an official marker and verify sign specifications with traffic-control standards before installation.
