He wanted the Council to 'know that he is happy to put up "no par-king" signs along <br />Dodge Street; that the display pads would not always be in use; that landscaping would be <br />done; that all issues of concern would be addressed; and that he was hoping the Council <br />would reconsider his request. <br /> <br />Mayor Klmzing closed the Open Mike and moved onto Item 5.1 <br /> <br />5.1 <br /> <br />Request by Northern Auto Services.
