Quick context to catch up fast.
The council voted 6-0 to ask the local legislative delegation to introduce legislation authorizing a referendum on redevelopment powers. If approved by voters, the powers could allow future tax revenue from development in designated redevelopment areas to help fund infrastructure, with officials saying developers would bear those costs rather than the general fund.

The council did not authorize redevelopment powers directly; it approved the next step toward letting voters decide whether the city may use them. The council also approved a retail strategy services agreement, updated the animal-control ordinance, and deferred a proposed rezoning for seven homes at 6851 Queen Mill Road until December 10, 2025. A 6-0 vote authorized the mayor to execute an agreement allowing tenants at or about 780 Concord Road to vacate city-owned property by December 31, 2025.
