Meeting Summary

TL;DR

The City Council approved several rezoning applications, with one being tabled for further review due to community opposition and the absence of Ward 1 council members. Significant financial approvals were made for police vehicle equipment and major public works projects, including sewer main improvements. The council also authorized applications for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grants for water and wastewater infrastructure. A presentation on intersection alternatives for Broadway and Eastern Avenue was received, with council seeking more time for input.
