What this means

The council approved federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) spending for projects that must mostly benefit low- and moderate-income Prescott residents. They adopted the citywide fee schedule that sets many city charges for the coming fiscal year, and changed the rules for how the city sponsors large signature events (shortening the contract term). The city also approved contracts that include a new air service frequency to Denver and permitted nighttime road work to reduce daytime traffic impacts.
