The City of Reno council approved several year‑end items the city communications podcast summarized as key accomplishments and upcoming business.

City Manager Jackie Bryant told the podcast the council approved contracts to install field lighting at Hilltop Park in Council Member Reese's Ward 5 and a new ADA‑compliant pedestrian bridge at Taglius Paradise Park in Council Member Taylor's Ward; both projects were funded with the residential construction tax, a fee on new residential construction that supports local infrastructure within the area.

Bryant also said council approved an agreement to proceed with phase 3 of the Reno storm drain master plan, which inventories storm‑drain facilities, analyzes capacity and identifies capital improvements for Northeast Reno. The podcast reported council accepted the city's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the last fiscal year; the city characterized that acceptance as award‑winning.

Looking ahead, Bryant previewed the first council meeting of 2026 on Jan. 14. Items staff expect to place on that agenda include a grant acceptance from Move United to support hosting a disabled‑hockey coaching and officials clinic that will benefit veterans, and the childcare ordinance previously discussed on the podcast, which is slated to return for final ordinance adoption in mid‑January.

The podcast summary did not include formal motion text or vote tallies for the council actions it listed. For details such as contract documents, resolution numbers and recorded votes, the council's official minutes and agenda packet posted at reno.gov/meetings should be consulted.
