Consent items include August 26 and September 2 minutes, multiple board minutes, all claims, a BrewHawk license, bid openings for road and wall projects, and construction awards to Penny Construction totaling 177021 dollars and 541747 dollars. Ordinances address zoning, traffic, animals at large, and permits applying Douglas County resolution within the city. A condemnation survey, dedication of easements, and a release of mortgage are also noted, with a public hearing on vacation of utility easement and Horizon 2020 amendments. Downtown Parking Board recommendations on parking rates and fines are to be reviewed.
