He stated he had discussed both options with Mr. Quady <br />and he has rejected both offers because he does not want to be <br />responsible for watering. He still wants the dollar amount paid <br />to him. <br />Mr. Quady was present and reviewed for the Council the <br />previous attempts to restore his lawn.
