Items tabled or sent back to staff:
- City code of conduct complaint procedure: Council took up draft procedures and directed staff to circulate a cleaned-up draft and accept edits from council members; the item will return to a future agenda for formal action.
Why it matters: These votes close out construction work, confirm city administration, launch federally funded street-safety planning, move forward on Olympic Hills design work, and add one city-owned parcel to the asset list. The transcript shows council members debated timing and budget priorities on several items before voting.
