What this means for residents

The RCO grant application and the Transportation Improvement Program presentation both touch on how the city funds and prioritizes parks, trails, and transportation projects. The Hazard Mitigation Plan adoption, if approved, would guide the city's approach to reducing risks from natural hazards. The claim vouchers and payroll approvals represent routine city spending that the Council reviews.
