downtown. GO Bond funds will be used to pay for the services.

street.
3. Councilperson Welper inquired on the International Property Maintenance Code.

Cutwright is looking at adopting the code with the understanding we would not hire
additional code enforcement officers. The city would focus on one area of the city at
a time.

would be restored on the furniture side of the street.

zoning requirement is 8 feet. They can stack cars two more above the fence as long
as they are stacked away from the fence.
