What happened

The council approved 14 routine items on consent, including a $2.9 million expansion of the county contract for homeless outreach through 2026. Other major expenditures included $1.7 million for the Bayview bike lane project and over $1 million in combined law firm contracts for workplace investigations and litigation.

The council extended the building ban in Keller Beach for nearly 2 more years due to concerns about the aging sewer system potentially dumping waste into the bay. The tobacco store ban was also extended for another 12 months while the city develops a comprehensive policy on new tobacco retailers.

A $564,131 contract was approved to survey and inventory all city signs, streetlights, and traffic poles across 500 miles of sidewalks. The council also required tree wells to be added to all upcoming sidewalk construction projects that haven't finished design.

Several items received no vote and were likely continued to future meetings, including discussions about steel guards for vacant apartments at Nystrom Village and a proposal requiring large stores to offer healthy snacks at checkout.
