Adopt Resolution No. 56-16 without the monetary contribution for the use of the auditorium

Why This Vote Matters
The city council unanimously approved a resolution supporting Cybertran's new lightweight rail transit technology, but removed a provision that would have required the city to pay for auditorium rental costs. This endorsement allows the city to express support for this transit option and potentially help organize a public meeting about bringing the system to the region. The vote does not commit any city funds or guarantee the transit system will be built locally. This continues council members' generally strong support for infrastructure projects, with most members voting yes on 80-100% of such measures in recent meetings.
