Mr. Peterson indicated he has responded to them verbally but not in writing. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that they are challenging an assessment that does not exist at this time and they are frustrated because the City is not paying attention and she would like Ms. Moore-Sykes to write a letter that says the letters were received and they will have the opportunity to address Council at the time of the assessment hearing. She then said that she takes exception to the letter’s statement that she did not allow them to speak the comment was addressed to all in attendance indicating that Council would be unable to address the specifics at that time.
