He said no formal action was needed at this time and that he wanted to see if the Council had objections to City staff obtaining quotes for the wall replacement. Mr. Nafstad reported once the quotes were received, City staff would present the quotes to Council for review and consideration. He added he would work with the County on item 6 of the MOU regarding the City being the sole owner of the wall and responsible for future repairs.
