On behalf of the City employees, we extend a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As you have noti ced, we have revi sed our packet procedure to simpl ify and speed up
the packet preparation process. We expect to save considerable time by using three
ring binders and copying on paper with pre-punched holes. Numbering will be done
by sections (EX. 2.2, 5.12 etc.) This will allow us to copy ahead of time rather
than waiting till everything is completed to number the packet. Council will be
requested to return the empty binders when picking up the next packet.

this Christmas Season. Beth was able to enlist the volunteer effort and contribution
of Jim French of French I s Products, Inc. who bui 1 t the structure and Beth's husband
