Rough, Jr., has requested that the Committee revise their meeting time from 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mr. Rough suggests that the new time schedule be on a trial basis, and that the day of the meeting remain as the second Tuesday of the month. Mr. Rough presently prefers the new Committee meeting time over a recommendation that a Traffic Commission be established. I have reviewed the Ordinance Code sections pertaining to the Traffic Engineering Committee, and I find no provision nor am I aware of any resolution that prohibits the Committee from changing their meeting time from time to time so long as this time of the meeting is properly posted. It has been requested that the new time be effective for the meeting of January 11, 1994, and notice of the new time is being provided to the Committee members. Sincerely, c Rick H. Kennedy Director of Public Works "We Are Here To Serve" __
