Radio meeting tentative agreements reach between county board and city council
Last night at city hall, county radio committee and city council special committee reached tentative talks on operating the county radio for city personnel within set daily hours. The planning commission proposed meters on the square and adjacent blocks, except residential fronts, while a petition from 26 property owners sought rezoning land near Herman J. Schmitz's cattle barn to light industrial use. Further, ordinances on retirement fund coverage, road renamings, and alley designation were read for first time amid near-full police staffing and policy calls on permit issuance for owls within city limits.
