Committee members recommended that City Council accept multiple grants and create new restricted funds to pay for cemetery preservation, opioid-response programs, Broad Rock Creek Park improvements, and recovery court services. They also recommended approval of a tree-improvement agreement for Byrd Park and changes to procurement and a commercial/industrial tax-exemption rule. Two items about publishing the city payment register and authorizing an investigation were delayed until July 15, so no action will happen on those yet. If Council approves the recommendations, the listed grant-funded projects and code changes will move forward and the city will spend the grants for the stated purposes.
