What this means
Council actions may change local development and daily life. Sewer billing rules were changed so sewer charges will be adjusted based on metered water usage, which could affect your utility bill. The speed limit in front of Crockett Early Headstart was reduced during school hours to improve safety for children. Approved rezonings and a street abandonment can lead to new development or changes in street access near affected properties; neighbors raised concerns during discussion.
