9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: <br />Council member Dunn found the Torre Pines monument sign large and ugly. The information on <br />Grassguard, supplied by Mayor John, is informative. This information should be made available to other <br />commissions. When she was down South, she had seen an open space development where everybody put <br />up large fences (6' high solid wooden fences) around their backyards.
