August 19, 2025 — Council Recap: First Responder Fee Rescinded, Downtown Entertainment Zone and a Civic Auditorium Update

In this episode Katie and Steve break down everything you missed from the August 19, 2025 City Council meeting.

From a unanimous vote to rescind the First Responder Fee (and refund residents who were billed) — to the first steps toward creating Entertainment Zones, and a plan to keep the Civic Auditorium open with some assistance — there was no shortage of action.

Plus, hear updates on flood emergency declarations, infrastructure repairs, local recycling contracts, and a parks system progress report from Community Services Director Travis Menne.
