Session 1524, Minutes Page 6 (10e July 9, 1990 as allowing a business with a great deal of truck traffic, for instance. Mr. Wagner asked Mr. Killion if he was still concerned about security. Mr. Killion said there was naw a trust level between the two parties that did not previously exist, and he thanked the City for suggesting that they meet to work out their differences. Mr. Schooner moved approval of the site plan with all conditions. Mr. Price seconded the motion. Mayor Majerus suggested another condition--if there is a change of use of the property, site plan review will be required. Mrs. Schu- man so moved, Mr. Wagner seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. All voted Aye on the amended motion.

PERMIT PARKING - 7000 BLOCK OF PE LNG The Deputy City Manager said on June 18, 1990, the City Council approved Ordi- nance No. 5756 which allows the City to issue residential parking permits un- der very specific circumstances. Residents of the 7000 block of Pershing have submitted a petition asking that permit parking be enforced during certain hours.

Mr. Adams seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, Coun- cilmember Adams and Schoomer voted Aye, and Councilmembers Price, Wagner, Schuman, Thompson and Mayor Majerus voted Nay. The motion to table failed by a vote of five to two. Mr. Price asked if Mr. Schoomer's statement about the Traffic Commission not following proper procedure was correct. Mayor Majerus said the Commission did discuss the ordinance at its regular meeting; the ordinance asks the Ccmnnis- sion to make a recommendation to the Council, and this was done by telephone with an approval vote of four to zero, with one absention. She noted this kind of poll is sometimes done in the summer, when it may be more difficult to meet; she felt this would be improper only if the Commission was making the final decision, however, it was simply making a recommendation to Council. Mr. Adams agreed with Mr. Schoomer, suggesting that a recommending body should actually meet and discuss the matter. Mayor Majerus said a memo with their suggestions was received from First Ward is
