Attorney Greenleaf reported he thought suit brought by Coralville against the state was a 17 A Appeal and that no new evidence could be brought forward on April 11, 2002. Truck Purchase was considered, North Liberty can trade out a 91 GMC that includes snow blade, dump heist and sander, and it should be available within the next few months. Purchase of a large snow truck is probably ahead of a smaller truck. The current truck has low gas mileage. Open Burning set for weekend daylight hours of April and May. No burning on sidewalks or asphalt because of the damage this causes. May 18th set for Clean Up Day. Volunteer Fire and First Responders will volunteer effort for this event. No tires are being accepted in city collection on May 18th. Mr. Joe Johnston arrived at 7:05 p.m. and asked about his rezoning request. Mr. Johnston explained that he really didn’t care about the outcome of the city decision. He had mainly made this request because Chad Freeman had been interested in building a plex in this location. Mayor Potter told Mr. Johnston that the request had been voted on and denied.
