Council authorizes interim planning support agreement to handle pending permitting requests

Aug 20, 2025

Council authorized an interim as-needed planning agreement (regional planner/LCOG) to provide short-term planning capacity while the city evaluates longer-term options; the contract is hourly/as-needed and will let the city handle pending applications immediately.
