Invocation. <br />Gene Anderson gave the invocation. <br />3. Pledge of Allegiance. <br />Council Member Lancaster led the pledge. <br />4. A. Citizens' Forum. <br />Keith Flowers, 305 -1St SW — he said the policy about a resident having to call a plumber <br />for a gas inspection prior to the City turning back on the gas for a home after it was turned off for <br />90 days, needed to be changed. Mr. Flowers referenced senior citizens sometime turn off their <br />gas to save money in the summer, that Atmos has to inspect it and that a citizen should not have <br />to pay a plumber when Atmos has inspected it already. Mr. Flowers said the City of Reno does <br />not require their citizens to hire a plumber, because if there is a problem Atmos will not allow it <br />to be turned on. He said this was an undue financial burden on citizens. <br />
