<br />
<br />~e meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Charles Vache, Pastor, Trinity Episcopal
<br />
<br />Church.
<br />
<br />Minutes of the regular meeting held on October 11, 1966 were read and approved.
<br />
<br />The following reports from the City Manager were read:
<br />
<br /> 66-244 - "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend that it be olaced on first
<br />reading. This amends sections of the parking meter ordinance to regulate tim~ allowed at
<br />the meters and to reduc~ the fine for prompt payment of the overtime tickets.
<br />
<br /> This will permit pa~king only for the limit of time allowed on the meter,
<br />and is being initiated in an attempt to eliminate the feeding of the meters for single
<br />automobiles on an all-day basis. For example, if a meter allows two-hour parking, a person
<br />could only park for two hours; and if a meter allows four-hour parking, a person would be
<br />permitted to p~rk for four hours.
<br />
<br /> This also reduces the $1 fine for overtime parking to 25~, provided the
<br />ticket is paid within one hour after the issuance. If the ticket is not oaid within one
<br />hour, the fine remains $1.
<br />
<br /> It will still be necessary for these tickets to be paid at Police Headquarters,
<br />as the State law prohibits the City from establishing any other location such as the City
<br />Treasurer's Office for that purpose.
<br />
<br /> There are other minor amendments to bring the ordinance up to date, but
<br />they do not create any changes in the operation of the pMrking system."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr, Johnson, the following ordinance was approved on first reading,
<br />without dissenting vote:
<br />
<br />"EN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH. VIRGINIA, 1961, BY ~ENDING
<br />SECTIONS 18-148, 18-ISS, 18-171 kND I7-172 THEREOF, AND BY ADDING THERETO TWO NEW
<br />SECTIONS NUMBERED 18-151.1B/~D 18-I69.~, ALL RELATING TO PARKING AND PARKING METERS"
<br />
<br /> 66-245 - "I submit the attached ordinance and recommend that it be placed on/first
<br />reading. This amends Sbction 19-48 of the Cifiy Code pertaining to petit larceny.
<br />
<br /> This is a technical change to comply with the State Code wherein the value
<br />has been increased from $50 to $100."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Barnes, the following ordinance was approved on first reading,
<br />without dissenting vote:

<br />~'AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 19-48 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH,
<br />VIRGINIA, 1961, RELATING TO P~TIT LARCENY"
<br />

<br />
<br /> 66-247 - "I recommend that the use permit granted on June 9, 1959, to American
<br />Iron and Metal Companylbe revoked.
<br />
<br /> This applies to the junkyard operation adjacent to Harbor Drive on Belt
<br />Line Railroad property.
<br />

<br />inflammable materials, but it has been reported to this office that they have been storing
