Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 23, 2015 Page 32 when appropriate to have a specific discussion on Twin Lakes outside a regular agenda. Mayor Roe clarified the take away for staff would be to provide different options, noting the work session request, and previous discussions as well as tonight's dis- cussion. Mayor Roe agreed that everyone would benefit from having some finali- ty to this versus remaining in neutral. Councilmember McGehee asked Mr. Bilotta to e-mail the City Council specific wording from the petitions submitted by the neighborhood. b. Dale Street Fire Station Site Redevelopment Mr. Bilotta briefly reviewed the requested actions as detailed in the RCA dated March 23, 2015.
