Where decisions came from and next steps
Several items were staff‑initiated grant submittals prepared by public works or library staff and authorized for submittal by the mayor. The annexation letter is a staff‑drafted request that the state parks board would consider; it does not itself change jurisdiction. Staff said they will return to council with follow‑up reports on grant outcomes, concession policy work sessions and any substantive state parks responses.
