The Lake Forest City Council approved a 12-item omnibus package on Dec. 1 covering routine minutes, financial approvals and a set of contracts and ordinances.

The omnibus also included abatement ordinances and several planning/zoning items set for first reading or final approval per the agenda.
City staff previously described the water-main testing as a critical analysis to inform whether the intersection improvement project should proceed on schedule or be paused to incorporate water-main replacement; council approved the omnibus package by roll call, 8–0.
Staff said they will return with further details if additional approvals or schedule changes are needed.
