The draft report <br />has been submitted to the City for review and comment. Representatives from Bonestroo & <br />Associates will discuss and summarize the NRI and be available for questions at the meeting. <br />Draft reports will be distributed at the meeting. <br /> <br />EPB Action <br /> <br />No action is necessary as this is for informational purposes only.
