Key votes and outcomes
- Resolution 2025-04 (bond referendum placement): Council approved a resolution to initiate a no-tax-increase, no-utility-rate-increase bond referendum to fund water infrastructure in the northwest area of town and place the question on a special election ballot for April 26, 2025.

- City manager contract extension: Council voted to extend the current city manager's contract through June 20, 2025. The motion was made by Councilmember Medulla and seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.
- Riverwalk engineering authorization: Council authorized Parks and Recreation to engage GPI for survey and engineering services (initial authorization about $35,000) and approved moving identified CIP funds to cover the cost. Council approved the motion by voice vote.
- Scheduling city manager interviews: Council approved a motion to contact the recruiter and schedule selected candidates for interviews on March 20, 2025. The motion passed by voice vote.
- Routine acceptances and adjournment: The council accepted the police report, city clerk report, city manager and department reports, and the monthly financial report. Each acceptance was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting adjourned by motion.
Where recorded, motions were taken by voice vote and minutes do not show roll-call tallies. Specific movers and seconders were recorded in a few cases (for example, Councilmember Medulla moved the contract-extension motion); most motions are noted in the minutes as "motion made, properly seconded," followed by the chair's announcement that the motion passed.
