Union Station Stabilization
Bids came in lower than expected — $1.27 million versus $1.35 million — so more preservation work can happen within the $1.5 million budget. Mayor Gaylor says it's time to plan what the historic 1909 station will actually become, possibly this spring.
ArtsXcute Youth Theater Program Support Request
A free theater program serving 130+ kids asked the city to waive Paramount theater rental fees (over $2,000) and cover staff support for its February Matilda production. The mayor directed the request through the city manager rather than acting on the spot.
Cemetery Trust Acceptance Policy
