This costs the City about $5,000 annually. Mr. Ourada also reported on the ongoing effort to establish a Certified Local Government (CLG) for the downtown commercial district. He further reported that city buildings will fully open to the public on April 24th, and Council meetings will resume in City Hall beginning with the April 6, 2021 meeting. Nancy Tellez, Community Assistance Director, reported on a recent collaboration with Public Health Solutions. Mayor Bauer reported on a DTR informational meeting held recently that had 35-40 people in attendance. Questions and applications are to be directed to Tom Ourada or Liz Cody with SENDD.
