Regular Meeting City Council <br />June 14, 2004 <br />Page 32 <br />physicals would not be authorized until the Council saw the information. Mr. <br />Townsend indicated that was correct. <br />Mayor Fendley brought the Council's attention to the next item on the agenda, <br />the 2003 Audit Report.
