It was later stated that the City Hall labor relations had been resolved so the ordinance was amended allowing for an extra $5,000 to the new police equipment making the total $6,755 and $0 for the city hall labor relations. The ordinance then had the three reading rule suspended and was passed.
Next in new business, an ordinance was proposed that allowed the Mayor or Safety Service Director to enter into agreements with OHM advisors for planning and funding assistance for phase two of the downtown revitalization project. It was mentioned that the longer this ordinance was delayed the harder it would be to secure funding. The ordinance then had the three reading rule suspended and it was passed.
