Police Department Locker Room Remodel Completed

The new lockers are equipped with electrical outlets and ventilation to improve safety and functionality for personnel. The project included 73 duty lockers, 4 ADA accessible duty lockers, and 5 equipment lockers.

City Council Recesses for Committee of the Whole Meeting Due to Vote Requirements
The City Council meeting was temporarily recessed to allow for a Committee of the Whole session. This was necessary because an amendment to an annexation agreement requires a two-thirds vote of elected officials, and not enough officials were present in the open session. The recess was moved by an unnamed member and seconded by Bartleson and Cardamone, with all in favor voting 'Aye'. The intention was to handle items in the Committee of the Whole and then return to open session. [cite: 111-130]
