of leaves in the fall to get rid of those that would not be cost prohibitive to citizens. Following
his presentation, he was asked several questions by Council members.

questions asked by the Mayor and Council.
COUNCIL COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO PRESENTATIONS FROM THE GALLERY

they want the burning to stop.
