Council amends stop-sign ordinance on first reading after discussion
Summary
On first reading the Sac City Council advanced Ordinance No. 2025-333, which would remove certain stop signs at South 13th Street and Lee Street, but unanimously amended the ordinance to retain east–west stop control and struck a clause about westbound traffic on Lee Street.
The Sac City Council unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-333 on March 11, 2025, after amending the proposal to retain east–west stop control at the intersection of South 13th Street and Lee Street.
Tom Lownik introduced the ordinance, which as proposed would have removed stop signs on the northbound and southbound lanes of South 13th Street where it intersects Lee Street and eliminated a westbound stop on Lee Street. Council members discussed the traffic control changes and then moved to amend the ordinance to keep the east–west stop signs in place and to remove line 11 of the ordinance text, the clause that would have required vehicles traveling west on Lee Street to stop at South 13th Street. The amendment was adopted by a 4–0 vote with Council Member Murley absent.
After the amendment, the council voted 4–0 to advance the ordinance on its first reading. The motion to introduce and the subsequent amendment were recorded with movers and seconders but the transcript does not include detailed traffic studies, engineering recommendations, or the full revised ordinance text. The council did not specify a date for the second reading or final adoption in the recorded minutes.
The ordinance was introduced by Tom Lownik and the amendment and votes were taken by the council in open session. The council did not attach additional conditions or implementation steps in the transcript. If further hearings or a second reading are scheduled, they were not noted in the minutes provided.
