Mr. Bryant said it <br /> would be difficult to determine if they would be considered "independent". City <br /> Engineer Damon Johnson said he agreed with Mr. Bryant in regards if it would be <br /> cost effective to have an independent study. Mr. Johnson said MWY has written <br /> a program where they can simply key in pertinent information and come up with a <br /> cost of operations and revenue stream. Dr. Matthews pointed out that the <br /> council could at any time request an independent study if they felt the need was <br /> there. The Mayor asked if there was a motion to adopt the resolution which there <br /> was not. Therefore, the resolution was not considered due to the lack of a <br /> motion. <br /> F) ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> Mr. Damon Johnson, City Engineer, addressed the council with his engineer's <br /> report.
