The council considered Resolution 25 7 17, authorizing the city’s participation in an amicus brief in the Shang v. City of Milton appeal pending before the Supreme Court.
The item was read into the record as "a resolution authorizing the participation in an amicus brief in the Shang versus City of Milton appeal pending before the Supreme Court."
