Kareemah said they <br />were allowed to operate during the window they were allowed to remedy the problem but would be <br />shuttered if the violation was not corrected within the time allowed. <br />Ultimately Henry Davis moved for a favorable recommendation. Valerie Schey seconded and all affirmed. <br />Bill No. 07 -13 would amend the 2013 salary ordinance to increase the pay of 9 -1 -1 operator, and was <br />presented by the Mayor.
