Kudos to Karen
Alderman Kristi Kendrick moved for council to recognize CAPC Sales Director Karen Pryor for winning the coveted International Travel Alliance Partners 2018 Spirit Award at the global conference held in New Jersey.

The vote to endorse Kendrick’s motion was unanimous.
Dog problem
In Public Comments, Mark Mattmiller told council he lives next door to a property with three large dogs that are fenced in but basically unattended. The owner does not live there, and the dogs bark at everything that passes with no one there to stop them. There is also the problem of the odor of dog waste, and the city has no ordinance regarding odor. He asked council for help.
Next meeting will be Monday, July 23, at 6 p.m. There will be a budget workshop at 5:15 p.m.
