Community Development Corporation - Oct 5, 2026
Sales tax revenue for the CDC came in just under one percent below budget, and spending is right where staff expected at 91% of forecast. Staff also flagged a formula error in the adopted budget that slightly increases projected fund balance usage — a fix is coming next meeting.
City Council - Sep 3, 2026
The city has remaining payments on 2008 and 2018 debt, with three more years of payments before those drop off and the debt tax rate falls. Staff checked with the city's debt advisor about paying them off early and found it wouldn't save money given the low interest rates.
