SECTION 8. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of this matter is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating the matter that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the matter will not exist.

Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues.
The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
