� . . Read; by Ma►yor Woods to" Counci:,
� � ' March 7, 1961. File.
Members of City Cauncil, Merchants and shopping public, you are
entitled to know the reasons for my failure to approve Qrdinance
Number 26, which concerns the enforcement of one hour parking in
the business district and the penalty.
An informal meeting was held of the Traf�'ic Committee of City Council,
Lloyd Herbener, Chaixr�an, and the Traffic Committee of the Chamber af
Commerce, Jack Andrews and Jack i�Falker, in addition to Stewart ,�?,eec�,,�
a_��,,�,,
Executive Secretary, at which time the above ordinance was1drafted
/
and approved by all present.
rTy reasons are as f ollowsx (1) One hour parking has been tried
in the past and has fa�led. The merchants compla3ning the shopping
public takes longer than an hour. (2) I believe that imposing a
fine of fifty cents is exorbitant. Representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce think it will help, eatperience has proven that it wont.
Council voted by a vote bf 9 to 2 to pass the ordinance. In the
best interests of the merchants and the shopping public I could not
si�n, therefore the ordinance will go into effect without my ,
approval.
