<br />was a discussion that took place with Service Director Limpert about crack sealing and
<br />the condition of streets and whether or not we should be reallocating additional money if
<br />it's available for purposes of crack sealing and sealing up the streets to try to get more
<br />life out of them. This has been discussed for the past few years, and it's made a
<br />difference as Council has appropriated additional dollars. Council inquired if it was
