In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the fiscal year 2025 budget, which includes the approval of 12 new positions, nine of which are dedicated to public safety. The general fund budget remains focused on public safety, accounting for approximately 70% of total appropriations. The cash applied for the general fund is reported at around 10.65%, a figure that officials monitor closely.

During the meeting, a public hearing was held to gather comments on the budget, with no immediate actions taken. The commission will reconvene on September 24 to finalize decisions regarding the budget.

Additionally, the meeting included a first reading on a rezoning request for a 1.27-acre property in Lyons, transitioning from a residential to a commercial designation. This request follows concerns raised by local residents about the property's condition, which has seen little improvement since the planning commission's initial review in May. Despite staff recommendations for approval, the planning commission unanimously recommended denial at a subsequent meeting. The commission has scheduled a public hearing for September 24 to further discuss this rezoning request.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments, although no significant issues were raised. The commission also noted a quiet week in liaison reports, indicating a lack of pressing matters outside the discussed agenda.
