Mayor Elumbaugh said he had conflicts with the June and July council meetings. <br /> He asked for the council's approval of moving the June 12th meeting to June 11th and <br /> canceling the June 26th meeting and changing the weeks for the July meetings. The <br /> scheduled meetings in July are the 10th and 24th and he would like to change them to <br /> the 17th and 31St. Councilmember Bryant so moved and Councilmember Beller <br /> seconded.

Councilmember <br /> Bryant moved for the city to pay based on our per capita share and to send a letter to <br /> the county and the DF&A explaining their decision. Councilmember Henley seconded <br /> and all voted for. <br /> Mr. Johnathan Abbott addressed the council to discuss transportation at the <br /> Christmas display at Riverside Park.

He said the problems are many <br /> with the carriages but the main issue is the wait for a ride. Last year the wait would get <br /> up to 3 hours. He gave the council pictures of a "train" which is pulled by a tractor, that <br /> is modified to look like a train engine. The train has two compartments, one that is <br /> handicap excisable for a wheel chair, and can carry several people. During the off <br /> month, the tractor can be used for other purposes. Mr. Abbott gave the council an <br />
