whatever was necessary. The repairs or removal to be completed by
September 22, 1987. Mr. Delaney remarked that this case had not
appeared on the agenda for several months and he felt the City was at
fault for letting it go this long. Ms. Price stated she had called
Mr. Tromblay several times, had gone by the place and had been

telephone poles, mail boxes are in the right -of -way that belong to
the City and telephone poles are in easements. Mr. Kramer stated he
would bring this issue up to the City Commission, however at the

notified. It was agreed that in the future this would be clarified.
