Mr. Todd: Mr. Chairman we have the recommendationJ and I so move that we go with Option 2. and we at least let the Public Service Committee Chairman know what option we went with. Mr. Zetterberg: I second that motion. Mr. Kuhlke: Mr. Wall, I want to ask you a question. concerning the ordinance, because it's not-inentioned in this item on the agenda. is this something that we should consider adding to the agenda to go to this Commission? Mr. Wall: I think it is, and the clarification, and if you all would add that, maybe you can give me some clarification in so far as the in-line skates and what you want to do with that, is what I want to be sure of when I draft the ordinance. Mr. Kuhlke: I want to ask that we ammend this item, gentlemen to include the submission to the Commission next week on the revised ordinance regarding skate board and skates and that the attorney and Mr. Oliver get together and come up with the appropriate definition of what we will have in that. But I would like to indulge and ask that we include that in this particular item. Mr. Todd: I feel strongly that the in-line skaters should have to yield to pedestrians, I believe that has to be in there, and I believe in other cities that is in the ordinance, as long as that's there I don't have a problem. As long as pedestrians have the right-of-way of the in-line skaters and obviously vehicles would have the right-of-way. Skateboarder: There is one thing with in-line skaters, there are a number of them who do slide on bricks and jump off stairs, and I understand that it is a form of transportation. but on the other hand there is a group of some people who do like to do the ramps and go down the handrails too, I would like to know if that would be enforced the same way that skateboardin~ would. Mr. Oliver: I think" that we can write this in such a way that it would be used as transportation not as recreation, we will incorporate those thoughts in the ordinance. Motion adopted unanimously.
