Questions for the Administration Requested

This past week, we finished deliberations for the Fire, Police, Inspections, Municipal Court and Corporation Council departments. 

The CBAC requests that you submit your questions for the above departments by Monday, November 1st, so we can combine the questions and submit them in an orderly way.  We have already received a question regarding the Fire department's repeated appearance at an apartment building.  We will incorporate that question to the others being submitted to the administration.

Please send comments and suggestions.  This is your opportunity to be heard.
