    Agendas and minutes

    The council page lists minutes for 24 meetings from January 15, 2025 to September 1, 2026, in English. We did not find agenda packages. The link for the April 14, 2025 minutes returned a server error when we downloaded it, so we could not read that meeting. Source

    The 2026 budget and a May 2025 financial report are posted, but both are scanned pages with no readable text, so we did not use their figures. The adopted budget totals are in Council's minutes. Source
