Manager Cavezza may have made some statements regarding this property and

provide the Council with a report. (Request of Councilor Suber)

for the purpose of locating address information used in collection of unpaid

parking citations, but not for the purpose of reviewing criminal history.

make sure they are on a leash. (Request of Councilor Turner Pugh)
