During the public comment period, two residents addressed the council.

Michelle Hollinger thanked officials for transparency and said residents of Victoria Ranch and the wider valley appreciated the council’s attention: “I just wanted to say thank you so much for your transparency… We appreciate you, and we look forward to working with you.”

Mr. Rausch told the council he had received a Nov. 7 letter from the city’s bond counsel saying the council would receive a settlement proposal “within a couple of weeks.” He said it was now Dec. 17 and he had received no proposal. “It’s December 17, and we haven’t heard anything at all,” Rausch said, and asked the council to provide the expected proposal.

Council members acknowledged the comments and did not take immediate action during open session; the matter may be appropriate for staff follow‑up or closed discussion depending on its legal status.
