The council unanimously adopted the Transportation Master Plan, placed a 0.1% recreation, arts and parks sales tax question on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot, and approved disposal of a city parcel in a way that gives 11 neighboring lots small additions. It rewrote the Youth Council ordinance after reconsidering its first vote to include the mayor, and denied a developer's request to cut a rezone fee.

Item 14.A · City code
Preliminary and final plats, EMMC 16.20 and 16.25
Approved · 5-0
David Stroud said changes align with state code, switch notice from stamped envelopes to postcards and add standards such as noting the review zone and barring cardinal directions in street names. No one spoke.
Item 14.B · City code
Site plans, EMMC 17.100
Approved with conditions · 5-0
Stroud said changes address how driveway access is measured and allow administrative approval of minor site plan amendments. The council adopted it with one provision of Section 17.100.130(D) omitted. No one spoke.
Item 15.A · City code
Youth Council ordinance, EMMC 2.45
Approved with conditions · 5-0
City Attorney Marcus Draper and City Recorder Gina Olsen presented a rewrite replacing youth elections with an application and appointment process; the Youth Council board chair and youth mayor spoke in favor. The first vote did not include the mayor, as city code requires for boards and committees, so the council reconsidered 5-0 and re-adopted the ordinance 6-0 with the mayor voting, with four amendments.
Item 16.A · Contract
Disposal of 0.156 acres of significant real property, parcel 49:601:0080
Approved with conditions · 5-0
A resident application sought to fix encroachments and improve lot layout; no utilities are on the parcel and no department had concerns. Option 1 realigned a fence line, giving one lot about 0.04 acre. Option 2 disposed of the full parcel 49:601:0079 and part of 0080, affecting 11 lots that each gain 0.02 to 0.08 acre and need 0.13 to 0.26 acre-feet of water in total, and leaves room for an east-west trail corridor. The council approved Option 2 on condition that every landowner signs (otherwise Option 1 applies), fences sit on the correct lot line or are removed within six months, water requirements are met by purchase, and the process is finalized by Feb. 19, 2026.
