What was decided

The Council held a public hearing on extending a moratorium ordinance on rent increases for mobile home park lots, effective September 29, 2026. Many residents and park owners spoke for and against the extension. The Council approved first passage of the ordinance by a 5-2 roll call vote, but a motion to waive council rules to allow final passage the same night did not pass, so the final passage motion was not brought forward.
