After discussion, a date of December 31, 1999 was suggested for the end of the extension period. Mayor Partyka polled the Commission in reference to the date of the end of the extension period and if a late fee should be charged. The Commission agreed by consensus that there would be no late fee charged and that the grace period would end on December 31, 1999. Commissioner Blake clarified by saying, "This is only an extension of time to purchase a permit, correct? It is not an addition of time, or an additional time from the cut off date that we already established and it's not an additional time from the expiration of the permit. The only thing we're doing is if somebody can prove that they had the vehicle during that, or prior to that cut off date, then between now and December 31 S\ they can still buy a permit". Discussion ensued in reference to enforcement; and selling the permits before the amended Ordinance passes. Mayor Partyka stated, "I think somebody needs to make a Motion for a practical solution to this, and one practical way of doing this is accept the application pending approval of the Ordinance".
