President Wilshire
Yes, correct.
Alderman Jette
So it would effectively forestall any possible consideration of the merits of this Ordinance anytime in the
future, at least as far as the year and a half left on our terms, is that correct?
President Wilshire
| would like to defer to Attorney Bolton.
Attorney Bolton
The Board could suspend its rules if there was a need to address a similar piece of Legislation during the
remainder of the term.

Thank you, Madam President that was actually what | was going to say is that we don’t just have Parking
Enforcement for downtown. They do parking enforcement throughout the City and they patrol the City and
so on for the violation of overnight parking and other things. | don’t know whether or not this would mean
that there would be loss of jobs, and therefore revenue savings. But | can’t see that happening, it’s usually
not a one for one type of thing. Thank you.
President Wilshire
