Title
Amending Secs. 12.167(1)(b), repealing Secs. 12.167(2)(c), (d) and (e)., amending Secs. 12.915(5)(b), (c), (6)(c), (7)(c) and (8)(b) of the Madison General Ordinances to update a street name, eliminate references to the Mall Activities Coordinator, and to correct the name of the Traffic Engineering Division.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This clean-up amendment addresses outdated language in Sec. 12.167, MGO. In 2008 North Murray Street was renamed "East Campus Mall;" this amendment will reflect that change. It also removes references to the "Mall Activities Coordinator," a position which no longer exists. Specifically, it repeals sub. (2)(c), eliminating language referring to a parking permit for the library mall area that was previously issued by the Mall Activities Coordinator but is no longer used. Additionally, it repeals sub. (2)(d), as the requirements for vending are addressed under Sec. 9.13(6), MGO. It also repeals sub (2) (e), which addressed appeals from decisions of the Mall Activities Coordinator.
