The city took its first formal step toward financing a downtown parking garage by hiring a municipal advisor and bond counsel. Actual bonds would come back to the council later, but this locks in the professionals who will structure the debt.
City Council (Regular) - Jun 1, 2026
A resident urged the council to drop further planning for the long-proposed city market and decline a roughly $425,000 state grant that would require about $439,000 in matching funds, arguing costs and timing make it unworkable and that a farmers market at the fairgrounds fills the need. No council action was taken.
