From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting the council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 2616, amending Chapter 166 subdivision regulations for park and school reservations. City Engineer Kelli Scott said the change would let developers dedicate parkland or pay a fee in lieu of land dedication, and that the fee valuation structure was new.
Staff said the current ordinance required a fee in lieu of dedication that was not legal, and the proposed amendment would clarify the options. The first reading was approved 4-0; three readings are required.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
