Brief Council discussion ensued. Public Comments: Speaking in favor of rescinding the fee: Andrew Carter, 1283 Woodside Drive Dave Romero,2057 Skylark –end of public comments— Assistant City Attorney Trujillo clarified that the flood protection fund program itself was not part of the Salinas lawsuit.
