City council stalls amid river zoning and annexation clash
Citizens protest as the council delays action on rezoning for a Simon and Joseph Kivel tract near Broadway and Wilmot road. Atty.

The second matter considers rezoning near 5th and Wilmot for a medical center, with residents calling it spot zoning. The Planning Commission will review land categories next Tuesday.
