Context and notes: Several items were described by staff and the mayor as part of multi‑year or carryover programs (parks and other capital work). The Parks revitalization vote drew the most public council debate because some members said the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board had not had a full opportunity to review the list. Planning staff said the Red Feather subdivision was in the Palette Box Historic Business District and had unanimous ARB and Planning Board approvals. The property acquisition item identified Lakeview Center Incorporated as the seller and included parcel identification numbers in the record.

Ending: The council concluded its business after the supplemental budget vote and closed the meeting with staff announcements and council communications.
