The October 10, 1988 meeting of the Public Works Committee .
was called to order by its Chairman, Councilman Tom
Zakrzewski at 5:00 p.m. in the Council informal meeting
room.
Persons in attendance included Councilmen Luecke,
Niezgodski, Soderberg, Puzzello, Slavinskas, Zakrzewski,
Coleman, and Duda; Attorney Ken Fedder, Mr. Abe Markus,
Captain Ed Friend, Attorney Richard Nussbaum, James Wensits,
Dick Maginot, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
Councilman Zakrzewski noted that the purpose of the meeting
was to continue to discussion with regard to Bill No. 74-88
which addressed truck routes. Councilman Zakrzewski then
highlighted the changes in the proposed revision. He noted
that pick-up trucks typically weigh approximately 8, 600
pounds and step vans are 10,000 pounds or more.
Councilman Luecke questioned whether the trash trucks are
exempted from the ordinance. Councilman Zakrzewski noted
that a separate section which is not being amended in the
Bill exempts such trash trucks.
A revised copy of the Bill dated 10-40-88 was given to each
of the Council members present.
City Attorney Richard Nussbaum complimented Councilman
Zakrzewski with regard to his effort on the Bill. He noted
that several of the recommendations made by Corporal
Stoynoff had been included. He believed that the overall
Bill was enforceable.
Mr. Ken Fedder questioned the wording on page 4, section 20-
8 (c) (1) and noted that the language does not address the
situation where a pick-up document would be given to the
driver upon pick-up.
The Council Attorney, then read proposed amendatory language
(copy attached) which Mr. Fedder believed would address the
situation properly.
Councilman Coleman also questioned whether amendments would
be in order to the definition of truck on page one.
Considerable discussion took place with amendatory language
being discussed and approved by the Committee. (copy
attached) Councilman Niezgodski stated that officers should
have discretion and should use common sense with regard to
enforcement of the ordinance.
