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?

I'd be happy to do that if | had that in front of me. But what | had proposed, Attorney Bolton made some very
good suggestions so he is more able to repeat what it is that he said and | would defer to him.

the barriers out, | don’t even think we get that great of assistance, because we do not have the equipment in-
house within the Board of Public Works, so we have to pay a contractor to do so. That was done last year, it
was done in the installation and removal. And from what | understand from Director Cummings it will be done
as they are installed for this year.

Alderman Jette
| just wanted to point out to that there is a separate Ordinance coming up the next one that talks about the 15
minute parking.
President Wilshire
So what’s your pleasure Alderman Jette?
