City Council Votes Down Key Ballot Measure Amid Public Hearing
The council meeting resumed with all members present, confirming a quorum. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, the council moved to discuss various agenda items, including a public hearing on the Vista Montana number 2 assessment for fiscal year 2024-2025. Edrick Kwan from SEI Consulting Group reported that out of 256 ballots, only 121 were received, with 18.85% in support of the measure. Consequently, the measure did not pass, and no further action was required.

The meeting then transitioned to the consent agenda, where public input was invited. Scott Barry from Joby Aviation expressed gratitude for the council's consideration of their proposal to develop at the local airport, emphasizing the potential benefits for traffic alleviation and community improvement.

Council member Dutra acknowledged Joby's presence and highlighted the future of air taxis as a solution to local traffic issues. Discussions also included the rejection of a project due to high cost estimates, with plans to rebid it without triggering a project labor agreement. Additionally, the council addressed the reconstruction of Green Valley Road, clarifying the project’s scope and the need for public education regarding city limits to avoid confusion about the extent of the work.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement and infrastructure development while navigating the complexities of local governance.
