They may, based on some of the comments that | have heard from a few of the store owners downtown, they
do feel that the restaurants aren’t open until later in the day and yet they can’t have people park in front of their
store for 45 minutes while they shop. So it’s only about the timeframe of the enforcement of 15 minute parking,
it's not anything other than that. So | just wanted to make that point. Thank you.

Alderwoman Kelly

So Attorney Bolton, the way | am understanding this and | want to make sure | understand it completely is that
these Ordinances are tied to that map. So if we sign it in as, then they have to put them exactly as that map is
drawn. Is that the case?

Attorney Bolton

Yes.

Alderwoman Kelly

So | don’t understand where the flexibility of - you know — once it is determined what the parking spaces, once
the barriers go down, that’s about it. | think Mr. Cummings can tweak it but there isn’t any really major work
that could be done because of the problems with the barriers. We do not have the equipment to move them.

President Wilshire

OK. Alderman Kelly?

Alderwoman Kelly

Thank you. So | am going to support this. | think that the intent here is to allow for flexibility and | actually think
last year we had to approve an amendment to allow Tim to make some changes as they came up, if |
remember correctly. So | mean | think the intent here is that the downtown is a fabric of different types of
businesses.

Attorney Bolton

Correct.

Alderman Klee

OK then | absolutely agree with what Alderman Jette is recommending. With this new adjustment, would that
allow them to do additional road closures as well? No?

Attorney Bolton

Yes.

Alderman Klee

OK, thank you.

President Wilshire

Alderman Dowd?
