Mrs. Timmons requested that the Council <br />liaison to the office staff attend a Planning Commission meeting so <br />that this can be discussed. <br />Mrs. Timmons also expressed concern about the popcorn wagon that is doing <br />business in front of the new Becker's Outlet location. <br />Mrs. Kingsbury stated that it appears that temporary signs are all <br />over the City and staying up permanently. The Planner explained <br />the recent amendment to the ordinance on temporary signs. <br />Mr. Costa asked the status of the proposal for ball fields on the <br />Auge property. <br />Mrs. Zoch expressed concern that there are parties and drinking going on <br />in the hack of their property along with the area becoming a dumping <br />site.
