AGENDA #4h

MEMORANDUM

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

FROM:            Ralph D. Karpinos, Town Attorney

SUBJECT:      Technical Corrections to Town Code

DATE:                        April 25, 2005

Enactment of the attached ordinance would make two technical corrections to provisions of the Town Code.  The errors in the current provisions were found during the course of preparing the item which appears later on tonight’s agenda regarding serving of alcoholic beverages at approved events on Town property downtown.

The first section of the proposed ordinance corrects the name of the parking plaza.  The second eliminates a reference to “non-alcoholic” beverages that we neglected to modify last fall when the Council adjusted the regulations to allow service of alcoholic beverages with food in sidewalk dining areas.  Consideration of these technical corrections would be appropriate regardless of the Council’s action on the later item. 

RECOMMENDATION

That the Council enact the attached ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE TO CORRECT TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS IN THE TOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES (2005-04-25/O-4)

BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill as follows:

Section 3.  This ordinance shall become effective upon adoption.

This the 25^th day of April, 2005.
