Selected actions only, not complete coverage of the Sept. 8, 2026 regular meeting. The council adopted Ordinance 569 (land use amendments) and Resolution 26-24 (special event policy and permit), each 4-1 with Councilmember Greg Montgomery voting no. The minutes record approval on Oct. 13, 2026. These are Sept. 8 actions only: the council's Oct. 13 agenda lists a reconsideration of Ordinance 569, and its result was not found, so this record does not show the ordinance's current status. Other items are not covered here.
