City Council (June 22) – agenda items
The council held a public hearing on updating the Art in Public Places program, including reducing the commission’s size and revising fund-use criteria. It then took up second-reader ordinances on police firing range oversight (O-6-26), which would let the Police Chief and Mayor approve range users, and reducing the Human Relations Commission from 15 to 9 members (O-10-26).
