Weekly Update 5/17/21

A day late due to yesterday's exciting announcement about the proposed update to the City Charter!

The City Council wrapped up committee work on the regulation/application for all future marijuana Host Community Agreements. In addition, we put the finishing touches on the revisions to the marijuana ordinance. The revised ordinance will be on the agenda for a first reading next week.

The Department of Public Works and their consultant BETA gave a presentation regarding the Pavement Management Program. This included details about upcoming work in the City and what we hope to achieve with the $5.4 million investment we are putting into our roads. This presentation will be posted on the City's website.

Lastly, several orders for bond authorizations were passed from a first to second reading. This included $2 million for County Street sidewalks, and the remaining $59.5 million was for different projects to upgrade our Waste Water Treatment Facility and sewer system.
