What this means

Council approved several major financial items, including general obligation bonds up to $41 million and multiple contracts for vehicles, insurance, parking lot maintenance, micro-surfacing, and tree trimming. It also approved changes to the Block 59 business district, but only if the proposed lease is executed, which is meant to support redevelopment without extending the district or raising the existing 1% sales tax. Council also heard an update on recent storms, with outages affecting about 3,000 residents at first and then dropping to about 1,000 as power was restored. The meeting also included a broader discussion of future electric utility options, including battery storage and market participation, with staff planning to bring more information back later.
