The council agreed to ask staff to prepare ballot language for a potential Transient Occupancy Tax (hotel) increase for larger hotels and a possible one-cent sales tax to appear on the November 2026 ballot — both would require later council approval to finalize. Council also approved the city’s draft plan for federal housing funds, adopted a new ordinance holding social hosts strictly liable for illegal fireworks, and approved routine contracts and maintenance funding (including water main repairs). Staff were directed to return with more information on modernizing business license taxes and on zoning and operations if the city allows cannabis dispensaries.
