What this means
The council approved routine contracts for city services and infrastructure, including wastewater hauling, equipment maintenance, and a water-tower mural, and completed agreements to provide water and sewer connections and an easement. The city changed zoning rules to allow manufactured homes and accessory dwelling units consistent with recent state law, and rezoned a small lot to limited industrial use — rezoning means the allowed uses of that specific property will change. A temporary no-wake boating zone for a June event was supported. The council advanced rules on live-aboard and derelict vessels, and considered new rules about camping on public and private property; the camping ordinance passed initial review but did not pass final approval at this meeting.
