In a recent government meeting, city officials discussed key initiatives and updates regarding the budget and traffic management programs. Councilmember Benavente proposed a motion to approve recommendations from the city clerk, which was seconded by Councilmember Davis. The motion passed unanimously, ensuring that the city will continue its planning efforts for the upcoming fiscal year.

During the meeting, concerns were raised about the timely completion of an audit due in October and the status of a sales tax distribution deficit report for fiscal year 2024. City officials confirmed that the audit would be completed on time, and the quarterly financials for the first quarter of the fiscal year would be presented by the end of October.

The meeting also featured a presentation on the Residential Traffic Management Program (RTMP) led by Interim Assistant Public Services Director Brian McGill. He provided an overview of the program's history and recent developments, including the Safe Streets and Roadways for All (SS4A) initiative. This federal grant aims to study and address fatal and severe crashes in the city. McGill emphasized the importance of incorporating best practices from other municipalities and suggested that any proposed revisions to the RTMP be postponed until the SS4A consultant completes its recommendations, expected by the summer or fall of 2025.

The discussions highlighted the city's commitment to improving budget planning and traffic safety, with officials actively seeking to address community concerns and enhance public services.
