It appears likely the Arcadia City Council will make a 180 degree turn at the July 6 meeting, when the proposed ban on wood roofs will once again be on the agenda. At the meeting last week Pellegrino and Lojeski had apparently changed their minds. In any case the second reading has been held over to the next meeting. Concerned citizens were given a chance to speak on the issue during the time reserved for audience participation.
