Why it matters: The votes advance a mix of near-term construction and maintenance work (street resurfacing, wastewater plant closeout), clarify land-use rules (data center definition and rezones), and fund a zoning-alignment project intended to clean up legacy and interim zoning across the city.
What's next: Implementation steps include execution of awarded contracts, initiation of the zoning-alignment project with Kimley-Horn, follow-up design work and bidding for the influent-pump-station rehabilitation, and staff work on the sign ordinance revisions discussed during the meeting.
