Other notes
- Many approvals were unanimous (recorded ayes by Councilmen Sherrick, East, Kirkpatrick, Vice Mayor Dorsey and Mayor Curt). Where the meeting record did not list a formal mover or seconder the council’s roll call was recorded as unanimous.
- For items that involved budget shortfalls (notably the shelter shed bid and FEB liner project), staff identified available unallocated funds (GO bond, Water Capital Reserve, wastewater regulatory fund) and told council those funds will be used to cover overages; council approved staff recommendations.
What happens next
Staff said it will publish ordinance texts, PUD conditions, bid award documents and an implementation schedule for the homelessness ordinance on the city website. Items continued or subject to follow‑up (appeal of abatement; records‑retention implementation) will return to a future council meeting with staff reports.
If you need copies of specific council motions, ordinances, PUD documents or bid tabulations, the city clerk’s office and the city’s online agenda packet contain the full documents and staff reports.
