City Manager Jeff Balentine presented a list of projects for the city’s proposed 2026 legislative priorities and explained potential benefits and funding sources during the Nov. 19 meeting.
Items listed for consideration include: Legion Park outdoor plaza funding; community center renovation; parks (installation of new children's playground equipment); a regional sports complex; a school resource officer (SRO) program; stormwater infrastructure projects; a park-and-ride infrastructure feasibility study; and adding the Boys & Girls Alley & Lot to the list. The manager recommended adding the item to the Dec. 3, 2025 council agenda for further discussion.
Why it matters: the legislative agenda guides the city’s requests for state or regional funding and frames priorities for advocacy in the 2026 legislative session.
Next steps: the council instructed staff to place the item on the Dec. 3 agenda for more detailed consideration and prioritization.
