The council moved forward on the city budget for next year and approved initial financing steps for projects such as renovations to the Aquatic Fitness Center. Residents should expect planning and funding work to continue before final contracts or construction begin; some items approved were first readings, meaning final approval may come later. The city also adopted a regional hazard mitigation plan aimed at reducing risks from hazards and approved a change to allow an oceanfront paid parking lot at Towers on the Grove. Officials heard that the city’s finances remain in a healthy position.
