City Council Reviews Annual Landscape Maintenance District Assessments
The city council is considering adopting resolutions for the landscape maintenance district's annual assessments for fiscal year 2026-27. The presentation detailed how these property-based assessments fund improvements like parks and open spaces.

The council also discussed potential strategies to address a general fund deficit related to fee structures.
