eventual purchase of 100 X-25 Tasers and related equipment at an approximate cost

burning ban in order to burn prairie grass. Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director,
indicated that he does review each application and inspects the area, along with a UNI

applicants have to follow guidelines concerning a controlled fire.

eliminating the 2 acre minimum tract size for "C-P" Planned Commercial District
requests that are within the CURA or Enterprise Zone. This amendment will help

With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Schmitt that the
