Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 23, 2015 Page 20 Mr. Culver stated that he was not sure if, as a result of that issue, staff had re- ceived formal or official guidance from the City Council to use what was original- ly in place. However, Mr. Culver expressed staff's strong opinion that what the City proposed for replacement was a very good product with a long life, and while some residents may not agree, staff still supported that product and base us- ing their past experiences to-date. Mr. Culver offered staff's willingness to com- ply with City Council direction; however advised that staff's recommendation would be to stay with the current standards that had been used for some time with very good success. Mayor Roe clarified that this was a separate issue from the matter at hand; and could be suggested as a later motion if so supported by Council majority.
