COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 13, 1998 Council Member Bergeson asked if the project will be progressed far enough for the bank to open on time. Mr. Ahrens indicated the City will meet the time frame required for the bank to open as planned. Mayor Sullivan thanked staff for addressing the ponding and aesthetics regarding this project.
