What this means

Council asked staff to build a refreshed strategic plan based on the recent retreat, which will guide city priorities going forward. They approved budget adjustments to accept grant and settlement funds and moved several ordinances forward (first reading), so those items will return for final action later. Council also directed staff to explore financing options that could help tenants buy an advanced mobile home park, a step that could create a path for residents to keep their homes. Finally, council met in a closed executive session to discuss the City Manager’s performance standards for 2026.
