At first reading on February 16, 1999, the Commission passed the
ordinance by unanimous vote subject to Commissioner Randolph's
suggestion that the word "curbside" be clarified. This minor
change has been incorporated and does not constitute a
substantive change to the ordinance.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 8-99 on second and final
reading.
