24 area to enforce the two (2) hour parking limitation.
25
26 The City Attorney commented that he had been working on this problem
27 and the only solution to control the traffic problem created by the

30 area to be exempt from the penality by the issuance of identification
31 for their vehicles. The change in the ordinance would only affect the
32 areas with limited parking and not areas with no parking allowed.

36 residents and there is ample parking furnished by the High School for
37 students without them having to park in the residential area.

40 of Works can be better informed and then can give the citizens of that
41 area a temporary solution until the Ordinance can be passed by Council,
42 seconded by Ms. Silberstein and on unanimous voice vote the motion
43 was passed.
