What the votes mean next

Most approvals authorize either contract work, budget adjustments, or a change in entitlement. In every case where the council approved construction‑related items (water plant change order, Townsend Courts amendments, City Center final change order, preliminary plats), staff said further engineering, permitting and contract administration will be required. The PUD rezoning cleared the entitlement hurdle but does not authorize construction until plats, site plans and permits are approved. The parental‑leave change will be incorporated into personnel policy distribution and applied per the effective date in the resolution.
