As always, the meeting is open to the public unless otherwise specifi cally noticed.
In other action at its March 26 meeting, the city council:

. Approved a request from the Centerville Lions for funding to the tune of $19,000 toward the 2008 Fête Des Lacs Festival.
Members had previously asked the city attorney to investigate whether it was appropriate for the city to fund all the items proposed by the Lions Club, but the attorney assured council there was no legal reason why funding should not be granted.
