On motion of Alderman Barry, duly seconded by Alderman Dexter, it was voted to approve.

Alderman Bonilla: I want to provide clarity on the new parking meters that we have. The meters are at a specific height to meet ADA compliance, especially for those with limited mobility. I just wanted to provide that clarity as to why the meters are at that specific height, especially downtown.

Chairman Vincent: I appreciate that. I would also bring that up during the Board meeting tonight, as well.

There being no further business, on motion of Alderman Barry, duly seconded by Alderman Dexter, it was voted to adjourn.

A True Record. Attest.
