Fired Pizza, which came before the
agency Feb. 9.
“It’s important that this thing gets

June or July,” Mayor Henry Balen-
sifer said when the Urban Renewal
Agency discussed the pizza truck
agreement.
While the city may have to address

“I don’t think the city wants to be

tar bathrooms there,” Balensifer
said. “Those things are maintenance
nightmares.”
