Mayor Monica Zoltanski discussed priorities tied to Connect, Protect and Create: competitive employee pay, Fire Station 31, Public Works Phase 2 and economic development. CAO Shane Pace cited increased revenue from renegotiated contracts and fees and the need for state mitigation funds for the medically vulnerable people shelter.
