Councilor Michael A. Sullivan requested a meeting with health department officials to develop a better way to notify residents about any future sprayings.
In other business, the city's planning board submitted a citywide rezoning petition that the council will analyze over the next several months. The petition would overhaul and modernize the city's zoning regulations.
