Minutes have not yet been published for any of the July sessions, so outcomes listed below reflect what was scheduled for council action, not confirmed decisions.

A separate meeting on July 28 was called to formally accept the resignation of Interim City Manager Jay Brock and to discuss the direction for appointing a new City Manager. No other items were listed on that agenda.

What we don't know yet

Because minutes have not been published for any of the three July meetings, it is not yet possible to confirm which items were approved, how council members voted, or whether any items were continued or withdrawn. The city's official minutes, once posted, will be the authoritative record of what was decided.

Coming up

The City Council has a meeting scheduled for today, August 3, 2026. The agenda includes receiving and accepting the resignation of Interim City Manager Jay Brock, discussion on the appointment of a new City Manager, and a stipend item for Jay Brock. Two future agenda items are also flagged: Senior Housing at the Gardenia Apartments and a potential solar project. Residents interested in the city manager transition or the housing and solar items may want to attend or follow the posted agenda.
