What this means

The council approved several contracts and agreements that keep city services and projects moving, including maintenance for emergency equipment, wastewater disposal, and design work for a water pump station. It began changing local zoning rules to comply with recent state laws about manufactured homes and accessory dwelling units; those zoning changes were approved on first reading but may require further votes before taking full effect. A small property was rezoned to allow limited industrial use, and the council approved a temporary No Wake Zone for Clear Lake on June 26, which will affect boaters that day.
