MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 03-03 ON FIRST READING, ADVERTISE THE APPROVAL AND NOTICE OF SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON, FEBRUARY 10, 2003 BY: GRISANTI MOTION SECONDED BY: BRODERICK YES: BRODERICK, GRISANTI, REILLY & GIBLIN

YES: BRODERICK, GRISANTI, REILLY & GIBLIN ABSENT: KAFTON

COMMITTEEMAN BRODERICK: For the public’s edification and not to downplay anything that Mr. Reilly said in his comments, but he explained that he and Mr. Grisanti met with the Police Director and the Sergeant of the Traffic Department in the year 2001. This was to look at reducing tonnage on roadways. He then addressed Committeeman Reilly and stated that he didn’t want to burst his bubble, but it wasn’t his campaign that did it. It was their discussions with the traffic department and safety director to incline us to not only these but a number of other streets, but the DOT being what they are it takes time to get things moving with them. Committeeman Reilly commented that he was glad that it got done.
