The minutes of the May meeting were unanimously approved.

Discussion of Turkish Bakery awning and signage:
Several people brought up that there is confusion on why we should vote on this. Patricia Henderson proposed to send a letter to Alderman Smith saying the Alderman should decide signage issues based on city code. Chris Lawrence seconded.

The motion carried. The alderman will be notified. The issue of Las Paradita signage will be included in the letter.

Aye: 8, Nay: 3, Abstain: 1
The motion to not support permit parking carries.
