Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 12,2018 Page 19 Mayor Roe wondered whether the issue should return to the Public Works, Envi- ronment and Transportation Commission.

The County and State are still the direct lead, but the City would have a say in it. City Attorney Gaughan noted the City is mandated to provide for such permits, but conditions can be attached.
