In the February 18 City Council Meeting, city council approved the city’s priorities for the upcoming 2026-27 year. Each year the city council needs to approve what the city’s matters of greatest importance will be. These items will then be allocated in our city budget and other resources.
More details around the redevelopment topic will be coming in a council work session in March, according to Eden Freeman, CIty Manager.
At the January Council Retreat, (insert link to our blog), many topics were discussed and the city staff and area experts presented information about the state of our city. The lack of housing for our young families, and seniors was a topic discussed several times during the retreat.
Other areas of priority include customer service and citizen engagement, public safety, sustainable growth and environmental stewardship, recreational and cultural enrichment, transportation accessibility, community appearance, and water reliability, rates and service.
