Lt. Vernon Humphrey pro vided the Chief's report, while Police Chief Lonnie Holder was at Chief's Training. Lt. Humphrey advised that the police department had 1,224 citizen contacts in June, and 129 citations were issued. In traffic enforcement, there were 82 speeding citations, nine pos session of marijuana charges, two DU Is, one failure to main tain lane, and five child re straint citations. Previously, the City installed a ramp in front of the Montessori school, to aid in ac cessing the building when the curb flooded during heavy rains. The ramp dams the wa ter, causing further problems, and the school asked for a bridge, or something for the water to flow under. Councilman Chris Mason stated, “If we build it, we own it and assume all liability.” Mayor Butch Turner said re moving the ramp would be bet ter than the way it is currently. Public Works Director Scott Jones noted that removal would not be easy. The City will look into the cost of enlarging the drain pipes underneath the ramp, to open it up for water flow.
