They could be reviewed, combined and prioritized as one list. 7. STAFF MATTERS: No staff matters. David Barney, 1550 Penlynn Street, is a 27 year resident of the City.

Ms. Koerner asked about the Natural Resources Board having a link or page on the City's website. Ms. Reynolds stated that due to budget restrictions that probably wouldn't happen.
