Roll Call: Ayes - Mattei, Galvis, Trammell, Stein, Zisa Mrs. Dukes advised the Mayor that her Docket was completed. Mayor Zisa thanked the City Clerk and asked the City Manager, City Attorney and members of Council if they had anything to report. They did not. The Mayor said we had another snow storm this past week and the City cleared the streets very well. He then opened the meeting to the public for discussion of City business. Rainer Olster, 144 Union Street, addressed the three-million dollar bond issued introduced earlier. I Don, resident on Green Street, again advised the Mayor and Council of the problems he is still having with the noise from the trucks going in and out of the premises next door to him all hours of the night. He has called the police and as soon as they leave they continue to let the trucks run. He pleaded with Council to take some action. The Mayor said it was his understanding that it had been taken care of. He asked the City Manager to check it again. Motion offered by Galvis, seconded by Stein that the public hearing be closed and the meeting be adjourned.
