Summary
The Community and Economic Development Committee approved a slate of appointments and resolutions, including youth council nominations, multiple business-improvement-district appointments, a Sister Cities friendship agreement and a resolution joining the Swimmable Cities Alliance.
The Community and Economic Development Committee considered a series of confirmations, reappointments and local resolutions and recorded the following outcomes by voice vote or order of the chair. Where a specific roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript, outcomes are recorded as described by the committee (approved/held/on file).
