Change law on how City Council approves major development contracts
In Plain English
The city wants to update its rules for how the City Council can negotiate and approve contracts for large development projects. Current law may not give the council enough flexibility to handle complex development deals. If approved, the council gets clearer authority to negotiate terms and enter contracts for major developments without additional legal steps.
