Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, February 27, 2023 <br /> Page 6 <br /> Mayor Roe explained Nine North will also be working with the nine cities to find <br /> out what the cities would like to have added as well. <br /> Mr. Ongstad explained Nine North wants to expand its civic as well as its commu- <br /> nity reach. <br /> Public Comment <br /> Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment with no one coming for- <br /> ward. <br /> b.
