He thanked Diana for <br />organizing the event. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk thanked the City Council, Staff and all the citizens for attending the <br />John Breaux Memorial ceremony on Saturday, January 30. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk addressed the citizens who spoke in support of repealing the pit bull <br />ordinance and explained he was on Council when the ordinance passed. He <br />stated he would have to be convinced to change the ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilor Dalton asked if Council should direct Staff to research the issue for a <br />future study session. Mayor Sisk stated perhaps sometime in the future, <br />however the Staff is currently overextended with budget and transportation <br />issues and ConocoPhillips and noted the City is currently without a Planning <br />Director. He questioned what would be set aside in terms of Staff's allocation of <br />time in order to research this information. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORT <br /> <br />City Manager Fleming updated Council on the following: <br /> <br />· The February 9, 2010 Budget Retreat, where long-range plans will be <br />discussed.
