Committee of the Whole

Committee of the Whole approves multiple consent items including annexations, street resurfacing contract, liquor license resolutions, and board appointments

The April 21, 2026 Committee of the Whole meeting (5:04–5:56 PM) covered mayoral proclamations and awards, one public comment regarding the future fire chief, and reports from standing committees. Multiple ordinances and resolutions were placed on the consent agenda (annexations, a conditional use, easement release, liquor license caps, MOUs for social services, appointments, and parklet/temporary outdoor seating rules). Infrastructure items included a change order for the Broadway Streetscape/two‑way conversion, a $4,448,912.80 contract award for 2026 East citywide street resurfacing, purchase of computer equipment (not to exceed $400,000), and a $63,010 firing range maintenance award. A Planning & Development final plan for Lot 6 of Podolsky Orchard 88 (warehouse/distribution) was finalized and is appealable. Some items (Genetec renewal; ordinance amending board/commission participation rules) were placed on unfinished business.
