City Attorney Annual Performance Evaluation
The City Council will conduct its yearly review of the City Attorney's performance behind closed doors in executive session. This evaluation ensures legal services align with city standards and community needs.
Animals Code Revisions for Feral Cats and Dangerous Dogs
The city is updating its animal control code to align with state law, set stricter rules for feral cat caregivers, and clarify rules on tethering, abandoned animals at vacant homes, and keeping chickens or livestock.
Emergency Management and Flood Response Planning
The city may tap a federal 75/25 cost-share program for riverbank stabilization and voluntary buyouts of flood-prone riverfront homes — bought properties would never be built on again. Formal agreements come back to council later.
Substance Use Recovery Support and Housing Services
The coalition is reviewing vital recovery support systems, including peer support coaches, outpatient services, and MOUD housing through Project Homes, to strengthen local addiction recovery resources.
