COUNCIL MINUTES DRAFT 4 Council Member Manthey noted that when you have an ambulance service, it’s a business and the 126 local government has no authority. That creates a bothersome situation for him. He is aware that 127 there is much local support for a legislative change that allows local jurisdictions to have input. 128 Council Member Manthey moved to approve Resolution No. 19-176 as presented. Council Member 129 Stoesz seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 130 PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT 131 132 There was no report from the Public Services Department. 133 134 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT 135 6A) East Cedar Street & 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Ave N Improvement Project: i.
