Members of Common Council,
Dear Members,
Ordinance No. 108-1.984 corrects a technical defect in the City
Code and brings it into compliance with past and present practice.
Under the Code technically the Common Council is to make the
determination as to restricted parking areas, except for business
districts which the Board of Works would regulate.
This ordinance would expand the Board's jurisdiction to include
all areas of the City. The practice in past years and this year
has been to allow the Board to make that determination. This
ordinance merely makes that practice consistent with the Code.
In addition, the ordinance ratifies all prior determinations
of the Board as to restricted parking.
Sincerely, rr7��Q
Kenneth E. Barden
City Attorney
