City Council (Special) - Aug 20, 2026
Councilmember Shaw wants the money saved by not running elections redirected to the library. It couldn't be decided on the spot, but staff will bring it back to a future meeting.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
