Chairman Sullivan suggested keeping this in item committee for 6 months and to have ISD continue monitoring this location. The item will be revisited in the fall. Alderman Heuston’s motion that the business be fined for every day it is over the permitted number of vehicles, in violation of their permit, was approved.
