City Manager Hernandez welcomed everyone to the meeting and briefly reviewed the agenda stating the Pedicab & Quadricycles Ordinance Overview will be removed from both agendas because there were some last minute tweaks with meetings between staff and the industry.

Alderman Foster asked the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance about what he would like to add to the discussion as an amendment that prohibits alcoholic beverages by the people on them pedaling. City Manager Hernandez replied staff will include that language in the proposed revisions for March 14^th. He stated it will be introduced at the workshop and if Council is comfortable the first reading will be on the 14^th, with the final reading and adoption at the subsequent meeting.

There being no further business, Mayor DeLoach declared this meeting of Council adjourned.
