Planning and Zoning Administrator Holly Wallace and City Engineer Steven Lang will provide a summary report to the council on flood mitigation efforts related to the most recently adopted All-Hazard Mitigation Plan during the meeting.

Administrative Services Director Tom Dankert will be presenting a draft of the 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Plan during the council’s next work session. The plan proposes to spend nearly $155 million in the next five years, though the expenditures will be based on the availability of funds. About $79 million-plus of expenditures are proposed at the wastewater treatment plant.

Lang will also discuss a proposed right-of-way management ordinance during the meeting.
