Regularly scheduled city council meeting started at 7:00 p.m. and a special presentation at 6:30 p.m. with all council members present.

 

The 4th of July Committee: Donna Lungren, Mike Drew and Amber, the representative from Flag Ship, a company that makes this equipment for special needs, presented to the council what a possible layout of a Bingo Park playground. They would like to add ADA accessible equipment.
