The Municipal League said since the brush hit the road and then the <br /> vehicle hit the brush, they are not responsible to pay the claim. If the brush had hit the <br /> vehicle before it hit the road, they would be responsible. The council asked the Mayor to file <br /> an appeal to the League. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, Councilmember McDonald moved that the meeting <br /> be adjourned. Councilmember Shetron seconded and all voted for. <br /> RICK ELUMBAUGH, MAYOR <br /> DENISE M. JOHNSTON, CITY CLERK <br />
