Crosby raised the issue of upcoming paving projects. These projects have been
on hold for a period of time due to the high cost of asphalt. Mayor Will Hill

the paving projects more feasible with asphalt costs dropping from about $132
per ton to around $100 per ton. The delay should result in considerable savings
to the city.

the public hearing scheduled for 5 PM on Tuesday, January 15 concerning a
rental housing ordinance for the city. The ordinance has been discussed for
