City Council Meeting - Aug 13, 2026
The city is deciding how to pay for big building needs identified back in 2021 — a possible purchase of the county Ag & Resource Center for City Hall while the library expands into the current City Hall space, plus a future fire station. Council members leaned toward buying the fire station land now and pursuing the county building, but no money decisions were made.
