What this means
Residents can expect increased police attention on the multi-use paths, particularly during the summer, to address illegal vehicles and mini-bike-type vehicles. The council did not finalize the fire tower purchase at the retreat; staff was directed to bring it back for formal consideration. Council also discussed raising the City Manager’s approval limit for budgeted purchases to $200,000, but that change was not yet adopted.
