City Council Special Business Meeting December 14, 2009
Mr. Timmons reported on the downtown water main break that occurred today. He

advisory.
He noted that the repair work is being finished at this time and water has been sent
out for testing. He added that this highlights the need for a community notification
program. He also thanked the Public Works crews for their efforts during this
emergency.
Mr. Timmons reported that he, DSD Director Rick Sepler, and City Attorney John
Watts testified at the airport rezone hearing at the County Commissioners meeting
today. A decision should be reached by Wednesday morning.
