Councilmember Brenner suggested Mr. Nyberg submit a daily inspection report to City Hall from H.R. Green. Mr. Paul Palzer stated a daily inspection report is a cumbersome task for the Engineering firm and City Staff, since nobody at City Hall can interpret the report from an engineering view point.
