CITY COUNCIL MEETING JULY 22, 1996 Mr. Schumacher asked if the City controls the necessary right-of-way for upgrading Ware Road. Mr. Ahrens said he did not know but could get the information for the City Council. Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Ahrens to prepare a report outlining some options for upgrading Ware Road and have the report ready for the next Council meeting.
