matter and the Village Attorney has advised that in light of
the possibility that there is no alternate route to Turtle
Creek that the Village Council should consider issuing a
moratorium on the issuance of citations to trucks using Country
Club Drive until he could tour the surrounding areas.

with enforcing this Ordinance Rvan moved, "that we put a
moratorium on Ordinance No. 24. . (No Through Trucks) temporarily
on Country Club Drive, until the Village Attorney and Village
