Council Member Pankaj agreed about Price Street and said it also needed to be better maintained. Mayor Portugal said it was a little unusual to have a dormitory so far from the college. Mr. Mack said it might be individual apartments. Mayor Portugal opened the public hearing and asked that anyone wishing to speak about this item to please come forward. With no one speaking, Mayor Portugal closed the public hearing. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Pilgrim and seconded by Council Member Pankaj.
