Councilman Gateau moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Dailey and passed unanimously. Janet Saringer, 23336 Stoneybrook asked why this was needed as there aze no schools in the area. President O'Grady explained that there are two issues that impact directly upon the schools. First, is a request by the schools to limit the right turn on red during the construction phase as more children will be walking to school when some busing is eliminated beginning April 8. Secondly, there was an incident there last week where a young boy crossing the street was struck by a car that was making a right turn on red. Councilman Gateau moved for adoption; second by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Gateau, yes; Miller, yes, with commern that this issue was discussed in caucus. Roll ca11 continued: Dailey, yes; Limpert, yes; McKay, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2002-45 adopted. Councilman Gateau noted, with respect to the failure of Ordinance 2002-12, two of the sponsors were absent this evening. But for that, there may have been a different outcome.
