City Council Meeting
A sweeping update to the city's municipal code was set for public hearing but was continued to May 5, 2026, delaying any changes.
Planning Commission - Regular Meeting
The commission weighed a citywide cleanup of the municipal code covering business licenses, vehicles and traffic, construction, subdivisions, zoning, and historic preservation. The RV habitation time limit was the flashpoint — competing proposals to raise it from seven days failed 3-3, so the update moves to the City Council unchanged on that point.
