What happened

The council approved 12 routine items on consent, including a $172,600 contract extension with Laborers' Foundation for job training through December 2019.

The council approved mid-year budget adjustments for the city after reviewing spending against projections halfway through the fiscal year. All seven council members voted yes on the budget changes.

City staff presented a 5-year financial forecast for the General Fund, which pays for basic services like police, fire, parks, and street maintenance. No vote was required on this informational presentation.

Discussion of three T-Mobile cell tower appeals was continued to a future meeting, including proposed antenna installations at locations on Grant Avenue, Downer Avenue, and Garvin Avenue.
