REGULAR PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Ordinance No. 5795
City Council approved the transition of Public Affairs from a division to a department as part of the City’s broader organizational realignment. The department brings together communications and digital media, community relations, public information, legislative affairs coordination, emergency communications, arts and culture, community resources, and executive and Council support to provide a more coordinated approach to public-facing services.
Ordinance No. 5806
City Council approved an update to the City’s existing public service tax ordinance. This does not create a new tax or increase the current tax rate. The update clarifies that reclaimed water is treated the same as other water services under the existing ordinance. It also removes outdated requirements that directed specific portions of public service tax revenue to certain City projects. Instead, the City Council will determine how those funds are used each year through the regular budget and capital planning process. The ordinance is not expected to have a financial impact on the City or increase the public service tax rate paid by customers.
Ordinance No. 5807
City Council adopted an ordinance updating the Amended Downtown Plan’s list of specific redevelopment projects eligible for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funding, as listed in the above Resolution 2026-06-CRA.
