City Council - Regular Meeting

Our Father, I lift up our city good year to you today. Please watch over every neighborhood, every home, every family, and every person who lives here. Bring peace where there's fear, healing where there's hurt, and hope where there's discouragement, and provision to where there is a need. Please protect our children, strengthen our families, and give wisdom and compassion to our leaders, to our first responders, to our teachers, to our healthcare workers, and everyone who serves this community. Help us to care for one another, to seek justice, to show kindness, and to be the people who bring

Hi, Mayor. Yes, I do. Christian, I want to thank you for the presentation. I found it to be very interesting. I really enjoy the title of Momentum in Motion because definitely we've been in motion for a significant amount of time. It's pretty remarkable to see the data changes that happened between 2024 and 2025. I like you reporting on the split of single family and multifamily and how that's kind of how that's moving. I thought I heard you say that single family bungalows count as single family. Is that correct?

Okay, that was a concept I hadn't heard before. And then how many entitled multifamilies did you say are waiting?

Anything, Wally? Well, Christian, when I moved here in 99, there were no spec buildings anywhere. The only apartments I knew of was Park Shadows, and that happened to used to be the military housing for the Navy base that was based at our airport. So to see where it is today, it's really exciting. Sometimes it's overwhelming when you stop and think of where it's going and how quickly we're building. But it's just wonderful because that's what makes a city so vibrant. We need the density. We need the apartments. I'll give you an example. I'm at my dentist office and the hygienist says, I'm movi
