Washington City Council met Nov. 14, 2023. Council approved multiple consent and action items including a $390,000 stormwater planning grant and engineering contract for Simmons Street, a 23‑lot preliminary plat for Northgate, a demolition order for 716 West 5th Street, an amended power sales agreement (4-1), and several personnel and budget actions; a rezoning hearing for Somerset failed for lack of a second after strong resident opposition.
