In the last City Council meeting of 2025, key actions included approving a technical services agreement for the Miller and Walker Creeks Basin Stewardship, aimed at improving water quality and habitat. An amendment to the jail services agreement with Sunnyside raised the daily cost from $64 to $76.59 per person, but Sunnyside remains a cost-effective option. The report also provided tips for residents to protect themselves from holiday scams, which typically increase during the holiday season.
