What the votes mean for next steps
The grant-authorizing resolutions (29-25 and 31-25) permit staff to submit applications but do not obligate the city to accept grant awards or incur debt. The bridge inspection and audit contracts will proceed under the terms presented to the council. The final downtown housing payment represents a closeout step for that grant project. The appointment of Deanna McCusker as City Administrator establishes the employment contract approved by the council.
