The audit report is due to the State of Nebraska in March.
The Pawnee City Council held more discussion on the designated truck route, and truck parking in town. At issue is that some trucks, with loaded trailers, have been driven on city streets. Stephens says some truck drivers met with the council Friday evening. (play audio :47)
