CouncilTrac · Matter
What this is
This is the second of the public hearings where residents can give input on the proposed 2026 bond program before the council moves forward.
Why it matters
Bond programs fund major capital projects such as streets, parks, and facilities, and the debt is typically repaid by taxpayers, so resident input matters before the program is finalized.
