What's Up?

One of the most common questions I'm asked is,"what going on now in city council?" Here's a quick list of issues we've discussed in the past few months:
  • Budget
  • Water and sewer major infrastructure projects
  • Revenue sources (ie. taxes and fees)
  • Waterfront Park
  • Annexations
  • Fire Dept. building/ equipment bond measure
  • Urban Growth Boundary expansion
  • Urban renewal district for the waterfront
  • affordable housing
  • downtown parking (and heights parking too!)
  • building code review
I guess I have plenty of topics to talk about in future posts. But before we get too serious, here's a picture I took at last week's opening of our new waterfront park. Kids, dogs-- how can you resist?

Another thing Mayors do is join things like Michael Bloomberg's "Mayors across America" Do you have any thoughts on whether you will be joining such a group?
