Minutes and bills The council approved the minutes dated April 3, 2025, and the bills dated April 16, 2025. Both measures passed by unanimous vote.
Placer AI demonstration The council voted unanimously to schedule a public demonstration of Placer AI so members and the public can evaluate the data service before deciding whether to contract for it.
