Councilor Bettman echoed the gratitude of her colleagues. She also thanked the people who had <br />respiratory illnesses for making the effort to testify. She requested a council poll to have a work <br />session on field burning so that the council could identify what leverage they had. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman noted that the item on the Amazon Creek headwaters was last on the agenda <br />and requested a change in the order so that the supporters did not have to wait so long. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor also thanked everyone for coming. She said while the council could not do <br />anything to regulate field burning they could at least look into seeing what the City could do to <br />exercise its influence. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thanked everyone for coming. She agreed that the council should look into what <br />could be done to stop field burning. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy ascertained from the councilors that there was not support for changing the order of <br />the agenda. She thanked everyone who testified in support of preserving the Amazon Creek <br />headwaters. She said now the challenge was to figure out “how to get there from here.” <br /> <br />In closing, Mayor Piercy noted that she had spoken with Mary Spilde, president of LCC, and Ms. <br />Spilde had indicated that LCC was interested in staying downtown. <br /> <br /> <br />2.
