During public comment residents urged stronger enforcement of sidewalk snow removal and raised reports of large water bills; council approved a $5,832.45 water-main contract modification, heard that the AMI meter replacement is 74% complete, and the treasurer proposed extending the tax deadline and removing a $1 reprint fee.
