ANTIQUE CAR DISPLAY
The consensus of the Committee was as follows:
• to approve the request to hold an antique car show at Shawnway
Plaza on Saturdays from June to September 1999;
• to direct the organizer of the car show to have participants
display insurance cards in the cars' windows;
• to direct staff to contact business owners and the Police
Department in September to determine if the event created any
complaints; and
• to revisit the issue later in the year to determine if the
event has any negative impact on the community.

mandate to establish an ethics commission, the consensus of the

further and continue discussion at a later date.
