Pedestrian safety along Highway 20 at Plaza 20

Austin Bodenhofer vehicle damage claim
A resident's car was damaged during a police raid on his neighbor's home; state law shields the city from liability for emergency police responses, but four council members balked at denying the $3,310 claim. It comes back October 5 with more case law.
