At its Nov. 25 meeting the Lawrence City Ordinance and Intergovernmental Relations Committee considered a batch of handicap-parking requests and moved each forward either to the police department for recommendation or to the full council with a favorable recommendation and a public hearing.

The committee corrected an address on one application (Doc 45925) — changing 446 Haverhill to 464 Haverhill after members reviewed the applicant’s license — and then voted to send that request to the police department for a recommendation.

Other items the committee referred to police or recommended to the full council with public hearings included:

- Doc 46025 — handicap parking at 41 Juniper Street: referred to police for review (motion carried).
- Doc 46125 — handicap parking at 15 Brook Street: referred to police for review (motion carried).
- Doc 46225 — handicap parking at Greenfield Street: referred to police for review (motion carried).
- Doc 46325 — handicap parking at May Street: referred to police for review (motion carried).
- Doc 39525 — police report recommending handicap parking at 288 Lawrence Street: committee moved a favorable recommendation to the full council and to order a public hearing (motion carried).
- Doc 40125 — police report recommending handicap parking at 25 Belmont Street: favorable recommendation moved to full council; public hearing ordered (motion carried).
- Doc 42225 — police report recommending handicap parking at 81 Bunker Hill Street: favorable recommendation moved to full council; public hearing ordered (motion carried).
- Doc 325 — police report recommending handicap parking at 94 Dracut Street: favorable recommendation moved to full council; public hearing ordered (motion carried).
- Doc 40425 — police report recommending handicap parking at 52 Basswood Street: favorable recommendation moved to full council; public hearing ordered (motion carried).

Vice Chair Selena Reyes made or seconded many of the motions; motions were repeatedly seconded by Councilor Franklin Miguel or Councilor Gregor Del Rosario. Clerk roll calls recorded affirmative votes for present members each time the committee carried a motion.

What happens next: the police department will provide recommendations on the items referred for review; those with favorable recommendations will be scheduled for public hearings at the full council as ordered by the committee.
