City manager updates storm‑debris and solid‑waste operations; council adopts 2025 schedule and FY26 budget calendar
Summary
City Manager Michael Peoples reported progress on storm‑debris removal (700 of 1,200 large piles collected), yard‑waste overtime and a rescheduled leaf collection start of Nov. 4. Council approved the proposed 2025 council meeting schedule (one election‑week change) and the fiscal‑year 2026 budget calendar.
City Manager Michael Peoples updated council Oct. 15 on the city’s storm‑recovery and solid‑waste operations and presented administrative calendars for 2025 and the FY26 budget process.
Peoples said mutual‑aid crews and city field teams have collected about 700 of 1,200 identified large debris piles following recent storm response and that contract crews worked for two days assisting with large pile collection. Yard‑waste crews have been working mandatory overtime to clear carts and small debris and are expected to resume the regular yard‑waste schedule on Nov. 20; leaf collection was moved from Oct. 15 to Nov. 4 because of cleanup needs. The city plans to begin an eighth garbage route as part of a route‑optimization effort on Nov. 18; letters and door hangers will inform the roughly 852 affected households.
Separately, staff presented a proposed City Council meeting schedule for 2025 and a fiscal‑year 2026 budget calendar and associated internal planning dates; council approved the schedule (with one election‑week meeting moved) and accepted the budget calendar. Peoples also highlighted completed restroom facilities at the Jeffers pickleball courts and thanked electric crews for mutual‑aid assistance.
