MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
Now for a quick pan of the small crowd tonight while I pay a few bills...
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):

MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
BTW, This is item #17. Consider, and act upon, the first publication of Ordinance No. 1519 amending certain sections of the Uniform Traffic Ordinance (UTO) regarding Off-Highway vehicles. (Stephen Thies, City Attorney)
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
And now Rich Merrick
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
I always enjoy watching the city atty when Rich is schooling him...
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
Once again, Stephen got schooled. The commission is going to probably table this so they can look at it more and the atty can get his act together...
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
OK, seems they're going to modify it right now, in accordance with Rich's comments.
MSgtChez (12 hours ago):
Passed 6-0
