Summary
In citizen comments Frances Stuckins urged attention to the impacts of City Market's beer and wine sales on independent businesses, questioned the store's composting and recycling practices and suggested a community forum on waste and pricing concerns.
Frances Stuckins addressed the council during citizen comment and said she was concerned that City Market's beer and wine sales are harming independent local businesses such as Carl's, which used to be a longstanding local retailer. "I'm still contending that, city market beer and wine sales are hurting our independent businesses like Carl's," Stuckins said.
