The City Council approved four ordinances raising and lowering fines for offenses, bans drag racing on city streets, and authorized Mayor Alan Koff to hire counsel and sue plaintiffs Victor Lazar Russell Smith and Leo Harris for up to 250000. The move comes after an injunction against the city related to a bond issue and a federal grant risk.
