City Council Meeting 02/09/2026

What was discussed

The meeting included Black History Month recognition and the State of the City address, followed by staff discussion of consent items including a vehicle-dealer sales-tax rebate and historic landmark designation. The consent agenda passed 5–0.

Council and residents examined redevelopment documents for the former Solo Cup property, focusing especially on traffic, a possible crosswalk, and landscaping between parking areas. Council adopted the grouped ordinances and resolutions 5–0 with two amendments: a crosswalk determination at 90% occupancy informed by the traffic study, and a wider parking-lot buffer if the easement owner permits it.
