Quick context to catch up fast.
The Council unanimously approved a phosphorus-compliance plan for the Water Reclamation Facility, outlining a filter project estimated at $21 million to $28 million and targeted for completion by 2031. The approval does not commit the City to construction or borrowing, but allows it to pursue grants and low-interest financing.

Buffalo must meet a substantially lower phosphorus discharge limit under its wastewater permit, and the current treatment system cannot meet that limit. The approved plan prepares the City to seek outside funding while staff continues exploring water-quality trading credits. The Council also approved a $908,000 splash-pad contract, a $60,000 demolition project for the former community center, and a full-time school resource officer agreement.
