Joe Horn, 102 S 5t" Str., wanted to know if the item has obtained a variance. Ms. O' Neal

this permit. Mr. Horn said that this will be doing away with a parking spot, and this will create

The motion to approve Ordinance No. 1463, an ordinance amending Section 110- 65 of the

commission recommendations; deleting or repealing ordinances in conflict; providing for
severability; and declaring an emergency, was made by Council Member Wootton and

Council Member Selby wanted clarification on this ordinance. Mayor Pilimore explained that
Traffic Commission is a board, and Council currently cannot make decisions on a traffic
related item until it is heard by the Traffic Commission. The Traffic Commission does great
work, this is just to allow the Council to decide on a traffic related item that might be brought
up to Council before it has been heard by the Traffic Commission. Council Member Selby
advised that this is why we have the boards.
