What this means

Residents will see a formal review of the proposed rent control and just-cause eviction measure before the council decides whether to put it on the November ballot. The council also approved the city’s next two-year budget and several contracts and grants that support police services, public works, libraries, parks, and stormwater work. In addition, it levied 2026-27 assessments for the street lighting and landscape district and terminated the city’s rent registry program by ordinance.
