Mr. Gene Norbertook the opportunity to review where the City was in the process and the next steps the City would be taking on their position with the property known as the North Borrow property owned by Gateway Sand and Gravel. This response was received in a timely manner as discussed and the supplemental information received has been reviewed by him and City Attorney Papa. We find that the response is sufficient enough that the City will be able to comply with the requirements.
