Why it matters: The approvals include budget adjustments, public-infrastructure agreements for a major development (Wilson Farms), and procurement actions that permit departments to move forward with planned capital and operational work.
What’s next: Items approved on second reading are effective per the city's ordinance schedule; projects such as Wilson Farms and the water-system work proceed into implementation and contracting stages.
