MOTION FAILED
President Wilshire
And that motion fails. The motion before us is for final passage of Ordinance O-20-017. Any further
discussion?
Alderwoman Lu
| do have a question.
President Wilshire
Alderwoman Lu.
Alderwoman Lu
The question is if this does pass, will we be keeping all of the parking enforcement staff on? So will we still
be paying $165,000.00 or half of that | guess: if it’s six months. $80,000.00 this year for Parking
Enforcement Staff that we do not use.
President Wilshire
| don’t have that answer.
Attorney Bolton
| can help a little bit perhaps. There’s nothing in this that cuts the Budget or directs the layoff of any
personnel or otherwise provides any savings. Now you could other measures, we still haven't finalized the
Budget for the period beginning July 1°. So you know, it is up to the Board what it would want to do about
that, but this doesn’t do any of that.
Alderman Lopez
Alderman Wilshire?
President Wilshire
Alderman Lopez and then Alderman Klee.
Alderman Lopez
Yeah, | just wanted to point out that Parking Enforcement doesn’t just do parking at meters, it also does
overnight parking and other types of parking so we probably would still need some of them.
