The City Council approved the above resolution on December 21, 2004. Attached is a copy of
the resolution congratulating the high school students for their hard work.
I'm sorry for the delay in returning this resolution, I've been out of the office and trying to play
catch this week.
If anything else is needed please let the clerk's office know. Thanks.
