Copier The public works copier lease has been signed. Delivery is expected next week. PARKS Dupre Artifacts After getting Council's go-ahead to purchase a large set of display cases, we went to view them in person and were a bit overwhelmed by their size, given the limited space in city hall for display.

We will work with the Dupre family and other local historians to get a meaningful display in our new cabinet.
