129 <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />Several Councilmembers expressed support for adopting the ordinance <br />to give code enforcement staff an additional tool and to reinstate previous <br />code provisions. All members who spoke supported aggressive <br />enforcement of residential parking restrictions for larger commercial <br />vehicles. Councilmember Franklin asked City Attorney Fletcher if the City <br />could selectively enforce an ordinance, and if the City could prosecute <br />some offenders and not others. The City Attorney responded that the <br />ordinance could not be selectively enforced but discretion in enforcement <br />could be used. He noted that the ordinance would reinstate language that <br />had previously been included in the Municipal Code and normally would <br />be enforced on a complaint basis. City Manager Ream added that all <br />seven Council members have historically indicated to him that they do not <br />want the small commercial vehicles cited, and that the City would continue <br />to enforce the ordinance as it had in the past. <br />Councilmember McGuigan stated that she supported the concerns <br />expressed by the neighborhoods, however, believed that the Planning <br />Commission should complete its review before the Council adopts any <br />ordinance. <br />Motion 1.
