CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
City Attorney Craig A. Steele had no items to report out as there was no closed session.
He clarified two items that came up during public comment. Item D regarding
Ordinance 1659 does not require entertainers to get a business license; however, it
does require the business that is permitting entertainment to obtain a license. Mr.

for much more burdensome requests that are out of the ordinary.
