My dinky little email got a response from the Mayor and several city
council people.  The sept 4th council meeting seems like our next
opportunity to talk about this.  I'm planning on being there,
hopefully we can get together a couple of other people also interested
and help present this.  About 6:30pm is when they open the floor to
residents.
