• Approved allowing the Public Works Department to install signage and to paint curbs to prevent parking on a portion of the 900 block of Ninth Street that has caused problems of blocking a driveway at 927 Ninth St. Kelley said parking is not allowed within 4 feet of a driveway and within 15 feet of a cross walk.
