Mayor Moore introduced the City Council's Report. (1.) Mr. Hart stated he had concerns regarding the Blue Ribbon Bond Committee. Mr. Hart stated he thought direction was to focus on transportation issues. Ms. Hughson stated the primary issue was transportation but to also look at other issues. The Council did tell them to look at other things but it should not be the majority on their agenda. Mr. Hart stated he was not interested in a bond election in the upcoming spring where they will be talking about one similar to the one which the City had a few years ago with the Fire Station and roads here.
