What this means

The Council approved bringing Kaiser Medical property on the northeast corner of Encanto Drive and Rouse Road into Community Facilities District No. 2017-1, which helps fund maintenance services for that area. The landowner election was a yes vote, so the Council also declared the election results and introduced an ordinance to put the tax in place. The Council additionally received the city’s annual financial audit and gave consensus to increase the budget for the 2026 Independence Celebration, including a larger fireworks show and more entertainment.
