What happened

The council approved 12 routine items on consent, including a $300,000 contract for public information services and $250,000 increase to legal fees for Point Molate development work.

The council received the city's annual financial audit for 2018-19 and updates on the 5-year budget forecast through 2029. Staff presented projections on revenue, spending, and how budget cuts affect city services and overtime costs.

The council approved updates to zoning law to fix technical errors and unclear language that create problems for property owners and developers. The changes fix outdated references and confusing language without altering zoning policies.

A resident working group presented findings on reimagining public safety after meeting since July to develop new ideas. The presentation covered their recommendations to the council, though no vote was taken.
