Council voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare an ordinance calling a special election on May 2, 2026, to reauthorize the sales‑tax allocation for the street maintenance repair fund. The council also approved a general‑services agreement with Neil Schafer, Inc. to design rehabilitation of approximately 3,800 linear feet of sanitary sewer line along Skyline Drive in an amount not to exceed $174,900; staff described the work as proactive maintenance and said most construction would occur behind the curb so limited street damage is expected.
