in only two words that has grown to over 30 plus War. Over
these years due to the undeniable achievements of

I'm here today, because 20
I'm here today because two old women are pulling the rug
out from under this business. And a sense I assume using
their old Ematic prerogative and I only learned of this
Injustice less than 24 hours ago, I wasn't informed of
this, but it was on any agenda by the city or the old
admin, where I been licensed in the 33rd Ward for 23 years
since the year 2000 and the 49th year for 9th ward 473
2006.
They?
This is the reason I'm speaking with this committee today.
I pride of booting as well as the city use electrolizing

I question today from this committee if this industry may
receive receive some due process and return
It's order.
This ordinance is open for interpretation. Obviously, we
cannot rewrite history today. However, I mentioned these
two words have been operating for an excess of over 20
years. So essentially every four years, if nun, Convent
lose an election and their success has a dislike for
booting, they can put families out of work and small
businesses that utilize the buildings, help ensure their
customers have parking will just have to accept. They have
no other alternatives to Resort back the towing, which in
today's standards is barbaric or your left stranded. I mean
this marks that socially acceptable but
Is that true?
Is that real?
Is that really a good practice for us to have today? I'm
sorry, this is last minute.
Okay, if I sure you, if I was informed from these Altima
that they had any issues, we would have corrected it, we
would have taken the measure to implement that, their
concerns were addressed and ultimately correct it. So all I
ask is that we do have some kind of due process to you. I
appreciate your time for getting me out. Thank you so much.
God bless

people.
Thank.
Thank you. Thank you mr. Blakemore
They?
There are no more speakers and this concludes the public
comment. Thank you. We are going to begin today's agenda.
We have 10 items on on the agenda today.
First is ordinance. Oh, 202-300-0348 for an ordinance to
amend section. 4-6 0-0, 25 of the municipal. Code of
Chicago, to disallow additional late hour, liquor licenses
in the second. Ward chair, recognizes Alderman, Hopkins.
Take.
Thank you, madam chair. This ordinance was proposed as a
result of a new application for liquor establishment in the
old town area on Wells Street which is already saturated
with numerous liquor establishments, there was some
discussion among the community. When the applicant
initially sought approval that they would seek a late hour
license. They in fact did not apply for a late hour
license. In that was largely due to the near unanimous
outpouring of vociferous opposition to laid our licenses.
In this immediate neighborhood. There's already a couple of
bars that do have laid our licenses and the belief, by both
the neighbors, and the Chicago Police Department in the
18th District, is that
And we can't handle any.
And we can't handle any more on this area. If you look at
the calls for a 911 service, they increase exponentially in
the late hour. When the regular bars close at 2 a.m. and
patrons don't want to go home. They seek out those few
remaining laid our licenses, that are open till 4 in some
cases on weekends, even later than that. And and that's
where we just proportionate amount of the trouble of hers.
So, the police Commander, the 18th District is in full
support of this moratorium. The previous commander of the
18th District was also in full support of this moratorium,
another committee as well. So I would imagine I vote on
this. Thank you.
Are they?
Are there any questions from the committee?
Vice-chair Chico makes a motion to pass on favor. Say, aye.
and,
Apple.
A posse name and opinion of the chairs you guys haven't a

amend section. 4-6 0-0, 22 of the municipal code of
Chicago, to disallow additional alcoholic, liquor licenses
and Portion on portions of Wall Street. Again the chair
recognizes Alderman, Hopkins. Companion to the previous
ordinance. This is reimposing a liquor moratorium that was
allowed to expire back in 2001.
I have.
I have to.
Are at the time they are.
At the time, the area was represented by the 27th, Ward,
under the remap it now became part of the second ward and
in reviewing the history of this area, as a result of the
application that we talked about, in the previous item, it
became known that this area was under a previous moratorium
that the community wanted to reinstate. So at their
request, I'm doing so now and again, I would hurt his not
urgent. I have any questions from the committee.
I'm a.

part of the review, where we looked at what areas in the
second world war covered by moratorium and which weren't
this is in the 2100 block of North Clybourn and the to do a
mistake. In the map, it appeared that both sides of Clyde.
When were covered by.
When were covered by this more.
When were covered by this morning.
When were covered by this moratorium. But when we looked at
the text of the ordinance, for some reason, only the west
side of that, stretch of Clybourn was covered by the
moratorium. So this would amend that by including both
sides of Clybourn at that location, which is at the request
of the neighbors. So I would urge and I vote on this third
and final on favor say aye and you opposed say nay nay
painting of a chair. The eyes have it.

before we move forward with our. So, we reintroduced us,
I'll say, I appreciate the concerns of innovative Parking
Solutions. It's nothing personal, but the constituents in
the 49th Ward, a really opposed to the private booting and
have asked me to change this. So, I appreciate my colleague
support on this. It's been disruptive. It's been predatory
