What this means

Committee members approved multiple appointments to local advisory boards and commissions, which means those boards will soon have confirmed members to work on planning, civic center, cultural, and memorial matters. The city extended existing tow agreements so current tow providers will continue service past June 30 while the towing rules are updated. One set of proposed ethics and disclosure ordinance changes was not finalized at this meeting, and appointments to the Hispanic Heritage Advisory Board were put on hold.
