Review of FY25 Tasks

In September 2024, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen determined the implementation priorities for Fiscal Year 2025. From October 2024 through September 2025 staff gathered data, performed analyses, and researched best practices to draft policies and regulations addressing the implementation priorities. Along the way, additional tasks were added, and some were extended into the next fiscal year. With support from multiple departments and a consultant, staff were able to facilitate multiple text amendments despite capacity diversions to address impacts of the tornado on May 16, 2025.
