Regular Council Meeting January 28, 2013 Page 5 Council to move forward with calling a bond election and have a resolution calling the election brought back to the next Council meeting. 19. Discuss and appoint Capital Improvements Program Citizens' Committee. Mayor Hashmi said KSA was working up the plan, but he would like for the citizens to be involved in the process.
