The council opened a public hearing on the FY2026 CDBG program (city allocation $112,590), adopted Resolution 2026‑07 to submit a project proposal, and passed Ordinances 2026‑04 (unsafe buildings procedures) and 2026‑05 (2026 appropriations). Several motions and roll‑call votes were recorded.
The council opened the public hearing for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) FY2026 allocation of $112,590 and reviewed eligible uses (infrastructure, ADA access, demolition) and procedural timelines. After public input, council moved and adopted the affirmative action plan, the Section 3 understanding, and Resolution 2026‑07 authorizing the mayor to submit a project proposal for CDBG FY2026 funding; the motion carried on voice vote.
Council also considered and passed Resolution 2026‑08 to temporarily suspend a nominal single‑family residential garbage collection fee for owner‑occupied properties (the fee is roughly described in the meeting as a $230 annual charge). Council discussed fiscal capacity and noted the suspension would be renewed annually if chosen.
On code enforcement, the council discussed Ordinance 2026‑04 amending the municipal code concerning inspection, repair and removal of unsafe buildings and moving hearing authority into a designated board affiliated with the Board of Works; the ordinance passed on roll call (transcript records 'passes 7‑0').
Finally, the council advanced and approved Ordinance 2026‑05 (budget appropriations within 2026 budgets, general fund and building department). The transcript records the ordinance passed following second reading (audio note indicates 'passes 7‑0‑1' in the record).
