Roll call: McKay, yes; Limpert, yes; Dailey, yes; Kasler, yes, with the comment that she is voting yes with some hesitation based on the belief that Ordinance 2001-55, the original ordinance, addressed the safety issues of Sweetbriaz with a more expedient and appropriate response during the time of day when safety issues existed on that street. However, she will support these ordinances as a matter of finally addressing the safety concerns there. Roll call continued: Miller, no, with comment that he thinks Ordinances 2001-86 and 2001-87, by creating a zone within zone, will cause confusion and will not lend to any safer condition than that which existed in Ordinance 2001-55. It's not in the best interest of the city for the Mayor to attend committee meetings, see the work that's being done to address an issue, say absolutely nothing, comribute nothing to resolve it and then use his veto power to shoot down an ordinance and then come forwazd with two new ordinances.
