Live reporting - Action items

J. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS - none

K. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
1. Bylaw Amendment 10-651: Chapter 170, Vehicles and Traffic – 1st Reading

comes out of some comments from Mr Ristano and others
we send out salt and trucks about 20 nights and yet you can't park for the 150 nights
can we have a ban for only the times when there is a storm
national weather service calling for the forecast
up to the home owner to determine the weather conditions, but they get to park more frequently
still same time line, from 1:00 - 5:00 AM

Whalen - my concern is that we will tow 40 cars the first time
Nutting - we will give warnings, we will ticket, we don't tow right away, only after you have blocked the road and there is two feet of snow and we're trying to clear it

Whalen -  think it is a great idea and we should try it
Kelly - I think it is a great idea, Police is already taxed at night, they don't need to spend time ticketing

Pfeffer - can we use the reverse 911 to call?
Nutting - if we can target it, we can use the web and cable announcement

Nutting - in my ten years, this is the first time we are reducing the burden
Jones - I think this is a good idea

Motion to move to second reading, passed 9-0
