The Council may wish to ask questions regarding this matter, but will not be required to do so. At the next or subsequent Council meeting you may have one of the Councilpersons introduce your matter as his or her recommendation. We wish to thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. Under no circumstances will personal attacks, either from the public or from the dais, be tolerated.
