CLAIMS On motion of Council Member Pinkerton, Murphy second, Council denied the following claims and referred them to R. L. Kautz and Company, the City's Contract Administrator. a) Henry C.

Hutchins Street Lodi, CA 95240 Off Sale Beer and Wine LETTER REQUF..STING RECONSIDERATION OF THE ENFORCE6fE.7T OF THE CITY ORDINANCE - REGARDING CARS PARKED FACING THE "WRONG" WAY City Clerk Reimche presented the following letter which had been received from Judy Underwood: "Dear Council Members: I respectfully ask that you reconsider the enforcement of the city ordinance regarding cars parked facing the "wrong" way, i.e. against the flow of traffic. -3- 358 Continued January 5, 1983 During the holidays we had house guests from out of town who were ticketed and fined for this infraction. Thev had never heard of such an ordinance, although they had lived in several communities both in California and in other states. (They thought perhaps the ordinance might be the result of a neatness fetish.) I understand the thinking behind passage of the ordinance originally, involving possible safety hazards of starting a car facing against traffic. However it seems to me to be , overly protective, especially on residential streets with little traffic. In any case, it is no more dangerous than starting off from a driveway. -4- My real complaint is of the unfairness of the ordinance. visitors and newcomers to Lodi cannot be expected to be aware of such an unusual regulation. The visitors, at least, cannot even make an official objection, since they do not wish to return to town to appear in court. I think it would be more than adequate for police to leave a warning explaining the ordinance, rather than a ticket. It would be even better to forget about the whole thing and repeal the ordinance altogether. Thank you for your consideration." Judy Underwood Following Council discussion, Council referred the matter to City Attorney Stein.
