Mr. Kraft said Council should have a clear understanding of exactly what an alternative <br />provider would be willing to offer the City and then decide whether those services are <br />acceptable, rather than trying to guess what might or might not happen. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow disagreed stating that these questions were not premature, as it is Council’s <br /> <br />responsibility to its citizens and the integrity of this institution, and needed to be addressed. <br /> <br />Dr. Carr stated that these questions needed to be asked now to ensure that her constituents <br />had an opportunity to know why certain options are being considered and to express what <br />services they would like to have. <br /> <br />P. <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br />Dr. Carr asked Mr. Walker if he would provide Council with an update on the status of the UCHS <br />Alumni Association picnic. <br /> She then thanked Mr. Walker, Mr. Wilson and Ms. Fuhler for their collaborations related to <br />the feasibility of dry flood proofing and stated that she had been in contact with someone <br />regarding the use of flood gardens. All of these short-term solutions will be presented during a <br />town hall meeting while the City continues to seek long-term solutions from the federal <br />government. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow addressed the comments made on Facebook by Councilmember Jennings as being <br />inappropriate.
