Council approved a property-tax measure to raise funding for Fire and EMS services. The city will begin a surplus process for Hope Village—meaning the city will sell or transfer those city-owned units, giving local nonprofits and religious groups first opportunity, and directing any sale proceeds to programs that help people experiencing homelessness. The city also set new rules for how lodging tax dollars are distributed, formed a committee to focus on economic development, and approved several routine contracts and a parking lot paving project.
