City Council Budget Workshop
The City Council held budget workshops where the Department of Community Development presented their annual budget. The presentation covered the department's organizational structure, which includes five divisions: housing, zoning, planning board, construction code, and community development. Key discussions included the 1% year-over-year budget increase, plans for hiring a deputy construction code official, and the necessity of re-examining the city's master plan. The department detailed revenue sources, including rent registration fees and development fees, and projected future tax revenues from various redevelopment projects in the city.
