City Attorney Glenn Klein noted that the amendment was actually to amend Section 9.6210(1)(a)(1) by striking the word canopy. A@ Councilor Kelly said he would not support the amendment. He expressed his frustration over even having the discussion based on the direction provided by the council at a previous work session. Councilor Bettman said she would not support the amendment.
