What Happened?

What Happened...

Below, you'll find information about some of the decisions made by City Council. This is also where you can find out about projects that seem to go silent for a while, and about implementation and evaluation of adopted policies and plans.

If you have a question about a City project, that begins, "What happened about...?," send us a comment, and we'll try to find out and post the answer for you and others who may be wondering.

I add more content links here on an ongoing basis. Please check back often.
