  • 2026-11-13 - 2026-11-10 - City Council Meeting: resolution passed 7-0. Parks staff said the gift aligns with the parks and recreation system plan (natural areas and trails), the donor completed a risk assessment with no concerns, and a small triangular tract across Rice Street joins land the city already owns. No naming is attached, so it came as a resolution rather than an ordinance.
