Councilman Dicicco

You have to come around, sir, and take a seat at the table. (Unidentified person comes forward.)

Councilman Dicicco

Please state your name for the record, sir.

Mr. Russo

Frank Russo. Frank Russo. The question I have is: There is a city-owned lot between Fitzwater and Clymer Street, and the parking along Seventh Street, you're trying to amend that between those two 20 STREETS & SERVICES COMMITTEE - Public Hearing blocks?

Councilman Dicicco

We're trying to put a regulation in based on calls and a petition. I believe there was a petition that was circulated in the community where the residents and the business people have requested that a parking regulation be implemented along Seventh Street, from Fitzwater to Catherine.

Mr. Russo

Between Fitzwater and Clymer, are they trying to change the hours? Is that correct?

Councilman Dicicco

Well --

Mr. Russo

You just amended it from 8 o'clock to --

Councilman Dicicco

I think, if I'm not mistaken, that the signage today is 8 a.m. to 12 midnight. And that was done in error, I believe. What we're doing now is amending the legislation that I originally introduced which called for two-hour parking on Seventh Street, both sides, from Fitzwater to Catherine, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., except Sunday. And what I'm doing now is offering an 21 STREETS & SERVICES COMMITTEE - Public Hearing amendment to the two-hour parking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except for Sunday.

Mr. Russo

Okay, so it's still two-hour parking? Is that correct?

Councilman Dicicco

Yes.

Councilman Dicicco

But we just changed the hours.

Mr. Russo

You're changing the hours.

Councilman Dicicco

Yes.

Mr. Russo

Okay. Is there an hour-limit on that parking lot? It's a city-owned lot, is there a --

Councilman Dicicco

I'm not -- I'm not familiar with -- I know the lot but I'm not familiar with any time -- with any regulations regarding time there. I don't know.

Councilman Dicicco

I don't think there is. Generally, in a public parking lot -- and correct me, Cass, in case I'm wrong -- there is no time limitation.

Ms. Confair

It would be posted.

Councilman Dicicco

Yeah, and it would 22 STREETS & SERVICES COMMITTEE - Public Hearing have to be posted if there were.

Mr. Russo

Okay. That's my only question.

Councilman Dicicco

Okay, thank you.

Mr. Russo

I just wanted to make sure I understood what was going on.

Councilman Dicicco

Thank you.

Mr. Russo
