Councilman Mont questioned cuts to seasonal/temp staffing after staff proposed adding two full-time grounds employees to replace many seasonal/temp hires. He raised constituent complaints about Hillrest Cemetery being poorly maintained and asked whether staff or contractors would handle that site going forward; staff said contractors ("alternative environments") now work on a set schedule and in-house crews cover other cemeteries and funerals. The tradeoff cited: liability and equipment limits for temps versus consistency from full-time staff.

City staff and council reviewed the proposed fiscal-year budget, covering parks projects (including the Shirley Marchman Park concept), personnel requests, library maker-space pilot, utility capital (including $2.2M for water-plant design), solid-waste contractor concerns, and staffing priorities for records and HR. Council directed follow-up public outreach and further staff analysis ahead of final adoption.
