Summary
Councilors gave brief oral reports: Councilor Dragasits made a lighthearted remark about pavement, Council Member Holtz described a recent trip to the state capital with staff to discuss two legislative priorities, and an Arbor Day tree giveaway and volunteer park cleanups were announced for the coming Saturday.
During the reports portion of the April 21 meeting, Councilor Dragasits offered a brief, humorous report about pavement conditions downtown.
