The council did have three bills on the agenda for a second reading, two requests, and one bill for a first     reading.

The first bill for a second reading died for failure for a motion for a second. This bill would have directed the submission of a ballot proposition to consider imposing a Local Use Tax for purchased from out-of-state vendors that exceed $2,000.

The second bill for a second reading passed. This bill will change the building code.

The third bill also passed. This bill also changes the city code to provide consistency between code sections that deal with portable outdoor storage containers.

The council held a first reading on a bill that would adjust fees for the city golf course.

The council also approved two requests. They approved a request for a full package liquor license for Dunn Mart at 1395 Dunn Road.

The council also approved a request by Patrick McCullisan to keep four chickens at his property on Charbonier Road.
