Morgan: The fire trucks go out Main Street, unless there's a fire on Third. Deputy: That's what I'm afraid of. Potter: Keep one side open for emergency vehicles. Morgan: I'd like to know where and when the tickets are being written. I'm trying to be logical about this. Deputy: Most are written on the weekends. Stoner: It doesn't have that much bearing on anything. Morgan: I think he feels harassed on Wednesdays. We should keep our personal feelings out of it. Stratton: Don't decide until we talk to the fire dept. Spivey: When the signs went up, Greg didn't have as much business. Morgan: The Lark has always been a problem. Spivey: That's why there's signs on Grant Street. Potter: Leave it like it is now. I'll talk to the fire dept. Spivey: If we take them down, we should take the signs down on Main Street in front of Corsa's. There's no difference. Stoner: I see a lot of difference. Morgan: There's a lot of difference. Deputy: The trucks have to have access in and out of the station. Stratton: Leave them there if everyone who is in violation gets tickets. Deputy: They have. I've written them myself on the west end of the street. You can bet we'll be here on Wednesday night. It's not just the parking. We've arrested people drinking on the sidewalk. There are a lot of people in town on Wednesday night. Morgan: The Lark is swamped on Saturday nights after football games. Motion Stoner second Stratton to remove "no parking" signs on south side of Third Street between Main and Grant Streets and to allow parallel parking only and to replace the "no parking from here to corner" sign at thirty feet from each corner.
