He stated that he would continue to bring forward applications, speak with consultants <br />and attempt to provide options to Council when considering items such as rebranding, Block <br />7 development, City Hall renovation, etc. as these are items that need to be addressed but <br />looking for alternatives to smaller projects with cost savings that aid in contribution to the <br />larger projects going forward. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser stated that the courts are functioning differently with a lot of remote <br />access for handling issues. He stated that most cases of those in custody were handled and <br />those cases that are normal offenses are being handled remotely.
