The City Council looks forward to welcoming everyone to the Open House! Come join us for community discussions about the proposed ballot articles. You can meet the City Council, committees, and staff, learn about the proposed FY 27 General Fund budget and ballot items, and let kids enjoy EJRP activities. Although we did not have enough entries for the Chili Cookoff, we will still be serving chili.

If you cannot attend in person, the City Council still wants your input before the Annual Meeting ballot is finalized on March 11. You can review the proposed ballot items and share your thoughts through an online poll. The links to the presentation and poll are listed below.
