The online version of this article has been updated since the printed version hit newsstands. The printed article mistakenly reported that City Administrator Phil Harris had not responded for comment as of press time. In actuality, his responses had been sent via email yet gone undetected in a sub-folder. The News-Record sincerely apologizes for the accidental oversight. The City Administrator's responses are included in the "Moving Forward" section of this article. We thank City leaders for responding to our questions and providing more information to our readers.
