Trustees discuss citizens committee on stop signs and possible university patrol assistance
Summary
Trustees debated forming a citizens committee to review stop‑sign placement and discussed inviting a Langston University public‑safety representative to present patrol options for town coverage; no binding action was taken.
Trustees spent time considering how to address recurring traffic and public‑safety concerns, including stop‑sign placement and possible patrol support from Langston University personnel.
One trustee proposed forming a citizens committee to inventory and recommend placement of stop signs and other traffic controls so the town could get multiple community perspectives before changing signage. Trustees noted the town lacks enforcement authority in some areas and that a working group could convene residents and stakeholders to develop recommendations.
Separately, a trustee said they had tried to contact the Langston University chief to discuss a patrol concept to supplement town coverage. The trustee apologized for not securing a visit yet because the university contact had been in training; trustees agreed to continue outreach to the university and said staff would try to arrange the presentation in a future meeting.
No formal vote to create a citizens committee was recorded in the transcript excerpt; trustees discussed nomination and next steps and left the item for follow up by staff.
