Summary

City manager Abigail reviewed progress on the council work plan: system development charges and Heights jurisdictional transfers are complete; the development code update has been delayed into the fall/winter, staff are preparing a downtown parking study, and several infrastructure and planning projects remain in progress.

City Manager Abigail updated council on the adopted work plan goals and progress on critical projects. She said system development charge work and the Heights jurisdictional transfer were completed, but the development code update has slipped to the fall/early winter because staff have been reassigned to FEMA floodplain and other higher‑priority deadlines.

Councilors noted that the parking study, potential parks acquisitions, and a mobile‑home preservation strategy are moving forward in different stages; staff said they would return with timelines and that some items (e.g., a comp‑plan periodic review) require additional prework with the state Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). Councilors asked for clearer timelines and requested staff estimate what could be advanced before year end.
