He made a motion to amend the ordinance to change the <br />distance to 15 inches and to give a three month warning period. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch seconded the amendment. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richard said the problem with a three month warning peri od is that new <br />people are always coming into town, and suggested that a warning be given for the first <br />infraction. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling asked if there is a way to give a warning for the first violation. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brown said he does not know what the impact of givin g warnings would be <br />on the Police Department. <br /> <br /> Mr. O'Connell suggested that this portion of the ordinance be deferred so that <br />more information can be gotten about the warning period. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling withdrew his motion to amend, and moved to amend the ord inance <br />by deferring the portion dealing with on - street parking. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch seconded the motion to amend, and the on - street parking section was <br />deferred by the following vote.
