Burts as Firefighter of the Year by the Exchange Club. I thought it was proper that we recognize him here first and ask him to come back on Wednesday to be recognized by the full Commission. I Parking restrictions around U.S. Courthouse. Mr. Wall: This is a request to approve authorizing the Sheriff to redistrict parking in and around the U.S. Courthouse to parking by permits issued by U.S. District Court. This would include the south side of Telfair Street, west side of 8th Street, Walker Street and east and west sides of Ford Street. Because of security concerns, the U.S. District Court has requested that parking in and around the U.S. Courthouse be by permit only. The Court on an as needed basis would issue the permit. This would allow the Court to have control and know who was parking in the immediate vicinity of the Courthouse. Adoption of the Ordinance would authorize the Sheriff to post the areas designated by the Court and to tow any vehicles that were not properly permitted for using the parking places. Mr. Brigham: I move we forward this to the full Commission with no recommendation. Mr. Beard: Second. Motion carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned. I Lena J. Bonner Clerk of Commission Ibb I PUBLIC SAFETY AGENDA COMMITTEE ROOM - October 29,2001 1:30 P.M. 1.
