Mayor Bradburn explained his policy as it relates to the Planning Commission and Staff recommendations. Kris Nicholl informed the Mayor that the Council would be meeting with their legal staff for clarification on a question. Maren Barker asked what the question was.

She did not feel that the presentation given this evening was accurate, and the effects this may have on the residents in the affected neighborhoods, and lack of questions regarding the toxicity of the fluoride.
