Alpine residents have several consequential items heading to the City Council on July 21, including a rezoning vote, a road-materials contract award, and a $100,000 allocation from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund. Minutes from three recent public meetings — City Council on July 7, Parks & Recreation on July 8, and Animal Advisory Board on July 14 — have not yet been published, so only the agendas as posted are available for those sessions.
City Council — July 7 (Agenda Only)
The Council's July 7 agenda included a workshop to review adoption of the City of Alpine Master Fee Schedule under Resolution 2026-06-13. Public hearings were scheduled on two items: the second and final reading of Ordinance 2026-06-05 regarding Enterprise Fund Financial Management, and the first reading of Ordinance 2026-07-01 to rezone 1301 W Ave J from R-2 to R-4. The agenda also listed approval of Special Use Permit 2026-07-01 for a short-term rental at 305 N. 1st St., and Resolution 2026-07-02 authorizing participation in a USDA Water Predevelopment Planning Grant. Because minutes are not yet published, outcomes of these items cannot be confirmed.

The board was set to discuss an amendment to a proposal regarding extended hours and seasons for pool fees.
