During public comment, resident Jayne Elken said train horn noise has been a concern and raised the possibility that Union Pacific construction could impact the planned skate park. Scott Hege also attended to observe. City Manager Andrea Rogers said the city is asking Union Pacific to limit horn blowing but noted that certain safety requirements necessitate honking.
